2025 Trend Predictions
Those wallets that attach to your phone become hugely popular for women, to the point where people will speculate if purses in general are going out of style (they’re not).
Hippie “stomp clap” folk music OR Imagine Dragons-type music makes a resurgence
People stop whining about how dating sucks now and start taking matters into their own hands by doing more IRL events: speed dating, matchmaking, etc. Like dating apps, it’s initially judged and seen as “cringe” before catching on
Move over, matcha: the newest mainstream drink fascination will be the delicious thai tea. They have so much in common already: an iconic color, rich flavor, originating from East Asia, where they’re already popular in their respective countries.
A smoothie as a meal becomes super popular again - “I don’t have an ED! It's just convenient.” (or, with the way things are going, people might not even outwardly deny having an ED)
“Doomsday prepper” mentality goes mainstream, people will be very keen on learning apocalyptic survival skills and jarring things
Old fashioned YouTube style challenge videos come back: stuff like chubby bunny, cinnamon challenge, and the ice bucket challenge
Among conversations about “the death of the it girl” we have our first monocultural “it-boy” we’ve had in years
An increasing interest in print media- more zines? (please let this be true)
Customized, personalized pizza becomes big. Videos like “did you guys know that you don't have to put tomato sauce on your pizza? You can use any sauce you want! I just used buffalo ranch, it's a m a z i n g, you have to try this!”
People care a lot more about having “chic” cutlery/houseware
Chewing tobacco, AKA dip or chew, becomes BIG (though Zyns have been on the Bubbling Under Trend Charts for a while)
More BS conspiracy theories, allowing for more people to parade as pseudo intellectuals
Coffee, toffee, and caramel scents carry on the gourmand trend in fragrance
The “it-bag” is from Burberry or a similar brand, as quiet luxury continues to reign
No one cares about Thanksgiving or most festivities, people come online to complain about how no one cares about Thanksgiving or most festivities anymore
Worrying about if you’re getting enough electrolytes will become a “thing”
Everyone reads my stuff and thinks it's great :D

My 2024 Trend Predictions
Disclaimer! Trends are bullshit!!! What’s “in” and “out” is totally subjective and fashion is an art form, public opinion and new crazes have no impact on the real art and following trends is your choice. Trend cycles are sped up so violently by capitalism and fast fashion as a beast, fashion is supposed to be fun.
This list is my opinions as a 19 year old boy who spends too much time online and read too much vogue as a kid. I am not an expert, I just like to talk.
Indie Sleaze
I’m already seeing this one happening, the colored tights under shorts, the fur vests, I think especially with the popularity of saltburn and it’s aesthetics we’ll see a lot more of this in the beginning of this new year. Graphic t-shirts with ironic phrases were already big in 2023, glitter and silver makeup especially is on the rise, this is already happening and I am excited. I fucking love indie sleaze. Nostalgia is a huge impact on trend cycles, I think we’ll see a lot of 2000 and 2010s trends seeing as the generations looking up to teens following those trends in their childhoods and longing to live those lifestyles are now old enough to embrace that dream. I think for people more into alternative fashion this will translate into a emo and scene resurgence that I’ve already been seeing.
Twee
This is based off the nostalgia again, I think a lot of folks who gravitate more towards cottage core-esque fashions and aesthetics are going to start embracing twee. 2024 is going to be a year of embracing cringe and quirky “individualism”, it is the year of the manic pixie dream girl, is is the year of pissing off boring men with “annoying” femininity. I think cutesy patterns, lace, buttons, diy big jewelry and hair accessories are gonna be on the rise. I can see girls making videos about their craft nights on tiktok already. Skater skirts, Peter Pan collars, bangs, Jess from new girl eat your heart out.
“Humble” Classy/reverse flexing
People are getting tired of the insistence on being “classy”, I think in 2024 we’re going to see a lot of celebrities trying to seem humble and average and down to earth. I think we’ll see a lot of brand mixing, super expensive designer paired with cheap every day brands, I think we’ll see this in clothes and especially in food. I think we’ll see a lot of branding for fast food popping up alongside that “classy” aesthetic. I think that this will also show up more with thrifting becoming popular again amongst influencers but specifically thrifting for designer/up cycling designer (badly). They’ll sell it under a veil of sustainability, it’ll be infuriatingly shallow.

70s resurgence moments throughout (this is wistful thinking I just love the fashion of the 70s)
My Trend Timeline
End of winter into spring- indie sleazing our way into the new year, I think it’s a versatile enough fashion that can be easily executed with what people already have from previous trends in 2023. Everything is set up rolling out into the warmer months.
Summer- I think this is going to be prime time “trashy” early 2000s party girl kind of time. We got a little of it last summer but I think it’s going to really hit this year. Whale tails, chunky low lights, messy makeup, bedazzled jeans. I think we’ll also see some keywest kitten esque looks from the preppier side of things, lots of bright colors and fun jewelry. I think we’ll also get a lot of vintage Americana moments, once again we got a bit of it last year and I think it’ll be brought back.
Fall- peak twee season, especially nearing the holidays. I think we’re gonna see a lot of rich color this fall too, jewel tones, beautiful deep greens and reds, not a lot in clothing but I think definitely in makeup and accessories. Around this time I think the preppier leaning folks will get back into skinny jeans. I think vintage graphic Ts will also get popular around this time, something easy but still interesting. Men’s fashion doesn’t cycle through as quickly so I think the kind of 70s aesthetics I’ve seen a lot of dudes into will continue (but I think they’ll also get in on the indie sleaze, I think for mens fashion it will stick around for fall). I think we’ll see more textures, lace, fur, leather, etc.
Winter- this is right around when I think the forced “casually classy” down to earth bs will start. Twee will continue amongst a smaller group and we’ll see a lot of cute diy gifts and stuff for the holidays, this will also impact the up cycling I think we’ll see from influencers and celebrities. I think hyper-feminine aesthetics will really kick back up, Pom poms, whites and pinks, skirts and big sweaters, Ralph Lauren teddy bears everywhere. It’ll be contrasted by a new interest in grungy/intense makeup looks, thin brows and dark lips, messy eyes, glitter.
I’m very excited for these all to turn out totally wrong and for me to make a fool of myself! But who gives a shit, I’m just saying this all for fun. Happy new year everyone!
