As the year nears it’s end, I’ve started to become reflective. This applies to everything but, of course, I’m putting what’s happened in fashion under the microscope, too. We’ll be discussing the biggest brands, moments and cult items in depth before the year is out but, in the interest of keeping our gazes turned forward right now, I thought it might be interesting to talk to my colleagues about the trends they’re looking forward to wearing in 2025 and, by proxy, the trends they’re quite happy to leave behind in 2024 (or at the very least pause on in the first few months in the new year.
Their selection was varied and, in many instances, quite diplomatic. As fashion editors, we try and remain open to all trends permeating the style scene. However, when it comes to what we ourselves want to wear, we naturally have opinions. I don’t expect you to agree with all of the below—there are some pieces I know I’ll still be wearing well into 2025 that some of my colleagues are saying they’re passing on—but that’s the beauty of democracy.
So, if you’re interested in learning which trends our editors are pausing on or, in extreme circumstances, have even branded as feeling pretty dated in 2025, you’ll find those insights below, followed by the trends our editors are excited to embrace next year, too.
5 Trends Our Editors Aren’t Carrying Over to 2025, and 5 They Are
Passing: Mesh Flats
Wearing: Red Flats
“I own mesh flats, I love my mesh flats, and while they will be forever reminiscent of 2024, I still enjoy wearing them. However, given the time of year, they really aren’t a practical footwear solution. So, until what I assume is at least May, I’lll be favouring a hardier pair of red flat shoes. I already own some, which is great as it means I can change up my look without having to buy something new, and always find that they cab instantly change the look and feel of an outfit. Dare I say, they make everything look more current and fashionable. And, if you ask me, that’s a great way to start 2025.” Remy Farrell, Fashion Editor
