The cycle of fashion: introduction, rise, peak, plummet, die—and then something new arrives to take its place. In contemporary times, we have watched trends from previous decades come back into fashion. From the return of pointed shoes over the square toe to oversized frames replacing smart glasses, new trends are entering the fashion arena and then establishing their agenda, backed up by the fashion stakeholders—designers, models, brands, celebrities, and now social media and social media influencers have also joined the club.
Some new styles emerged in women’s fashion in 2025, inspired by or perhaps mirroring the popular styles of the ‘80s and ‘90s, emphasizing comfort, sustainability, and nostalgia. Athleisure, oversized blazers, and the like have turned out to be staples of everyday dressing where casual and business wear blend. 90s-inspired baggy jeans, crop tops, and chunky sneakers have also proliferated, while miniskirts and wide-legged pants can be styled in many ways.
Most brands are investing in eco-friendly material practices. Monotone ensembles in neutral tones are going mainstream, frequently mixed with saccharine trends, such as neon highlights and voluminous sleeves. From floral to geometric designs, vintage-inspired prints still permeate casual looks. Beyond this, looser outerwear—including oversized jackets and puffers—has carved its niche.
