The start of a new year is always so exciting! Everyone’s resolutions are in full effect, and we’re all looking to make better decisions. I can’t wait to see what’s to come, especially from a fashion forecast perspective. I’ve already noticed some trends that I’m eager to try this year.
SPORTSWEAR/WORKOUT WEAR
The idea of stylish workout wear intrigues me. This season is a time when many of us are starting a new fitness journey, so it’s only right to look good while doing it. Designers and brands like Free People, Aritzia, Nike, Adidas and others do a great job of making workout and sportswear fun and not just your standard black leggings.
More and more activewear is becoming edgy, with details like cutouts and unique patterns. This expands your wardrobe by letting you to mix and max pieces and incorporate them into your everyday looks.
For example, some of my favorite places to shop are Free People and Aritizia. I love flowy or dramatic tunics that are still sporty, but elegant in a way that they could be dressed up or down. One of the best things about rocking something athletic is that you’re always putting comfort and style first.
THE CLEAN LOOK
One of my top priorities this year is to shop smarter, especially when it’s for everyday elevated basics. I love a clean, simple look, like a collared shirt and a stylish pair of jeans. Sometimes this stands out more than something bold. It all comes down to the fit and how pieces flatter your body. I love a brand called AGOLDE from Revolve; there’s something very sleek about the crafting of their jeans. Other brands that catch my eye are Mango and COS, whose clothing is elevated, stylish, great-fitting and, most of all, aesthetically clean.
POLKA DOTS AND STRIPES
In 2025, I expect we will see more patterns — especially dots and stripes. Still on a high from the “Wicked” movie release, I can see how the stripes and other details in the costumes will make their way into everyday fashion.
One example is the detailed, voluminous shoulder shirt from COS. It’s very clever how the pattern is used to enhance the garment’s shape. Polka dots also will be a staple in 2025. I’m already seeing a lot of stars wearing them on red carpets, and I’m so in love with this trend! MANGO’s asymmetrical dress is a great example of how dots will be done in the new year.
