According to Google Trends and search platforms like Stylight, we can predict some trends that will likely “take a step back” by 2025. Here are four prominent fashion trends expected to lose their allure:
Adidas Samba Sneakers
Once an iconic shoe favored by celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, Adidas Samba rose to become a “must-have” accessory in 2024. With its classic design and versatility, this shoe quickly dominated the market. However, it is anticipated that in 2025, a new athletic shoe trend, such as minimalist designs, will take the spotlight.
Long Denim Skirts
Known for their comfort and versatility, long denim skirts became a staple in many wardrobes in 2024. Nevertheless, their popularity is starting to wane. Instead of the lengthy style, variations like midi or pencil skirts in denim fabric might continue to attract interest in 2025. This offers a broader range of choices for fashion enthusiasts who adore denim without worrying about the “decline” of long skirts.
Santiags Boots
The Wild West style made a splash in 2024, with Santiags boots being a prominent feature—a design that exudes wilderness and character. This trend was fueled by Beyoncé’s country music album, Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter collection, and popular cowboy movies. Despite being embraced by celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Austin Butler, Santiags boots are also losing their appeal. Data from Stylight indicates a 12% decrease in searches for this footwear, suggesting that this style might not remain a focal point in 2025. However, for those enamored with the Wild West aesthetic, there’s room for adaptation by opting for more subdued and comfortable boot variations to stay on-trend.
Leopard-Print Pants
Leopard print was once synonymous with individuality and style. However, by the end of 2024, this trend had started to cool down. Leopard-print pants, a standout piece in many fashion houses’ Spring-Summer collections, also witnessed a 9% decline in interest. Nonetheless, leopard print remains a timeless classic that won’t easily fade from memory. With creative styling, you can still incorporate this print as a statement piece in your wardrobe without worrying about it becoming outdated.
