Fashion trend predictions for 2025: Here’s what forecasters think you’ll be wearing

CNN — For many of us, 2025 stretches ahead as a giant unknown. “But because sleepwear items are now seen as hyper-useful, multi-functional items for vacationers… It’s this versatility that makes them a winning item in a world where luggage fees are becoming more and more expensive.” This summer, “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner was spotted poolside in the Côte d’Azur wearing a set of blue and white striped pajamas; while model Joan Smalls wore a black and white pair out in Milan. “It’s a sign that it will maintain its influence into 2025, particularly into spring, when we will see an in the boho chic trend, which is all about romance and femininity.” Alongside the soft tactile leather, expect the pillars of boho chic to return: lashings of lace, chiffon, and slouchy silhouettes à la the Olsen twins in the early aughts. “We expect to see a very slow-burn return in 2025 for the skinny jean,” said Susie Draffan, WGSN’s senior denim strategist. “We’re definitely in early signal testing territory here, but this season skinny jeans increased on the Spring-Summer 2025 catwalks for the first time in years.” Draffan points to brands such as Coach, Diesel, Off-White and Maison Margiela as leading the charge, as well as a broader cultural return to the 2010s zeitgeist repackaged as “indie sleaze.” “Don’t get too over-excited,” she warned.
