The fashion and good looks trends of 2024 were passing through us at lightning speed. In our current age of social media, with apps like TikTok absolutely controlling our aesthetic algorithm, one moment there’s something and the next. . . you know.
If you’re anything like me, then you’ve probably scrolled through your social media feed most days in utter disbelief, wondering how something as questionable as “Scandinavian shawls” or “cherry cola lips” became a thing. If you’ve ever thought, “Hmm, I could live without that rather niche and sure-to-be abandoned trend,” congrats — this list is for you. In 2025, we’re opting for authenticity and self-decided fashion choices over ever-spinning trend cycles.
Below, we dive into the finishes, cores, and fashion moments that will set a permanent milestone later this year.
I can’t lie; When those bad boys first came on the scene, I wasn’t immediately willing to accept them one way or another. It was just a twist on the inevitable microshorts trend we’ve noticed in recent years. But now I have to admit that I absolutely hate bloomers. They will have to leave. . . without delay (it will have to be read in the voice of Juana the Swindler). As a Miamian who has believed that the fewer clothes the better, we lose the plot. I love fancy underwear as much as the next person, but there’s no explanation for us taking public transportation in frilly underwear. It just doesn’t do what it wants anymore and that limits our diversity of styles. Layers are important, and if you need to keep the bloomers rotation going, I need to see Disney Channel bring layering to the point of women with them.
2024 has been the year of incorrect information on many topics. But the current debate is about fashion, so we’ll stick with it. One of the biggest court cases I’ve had with online trends has been the “Scandinavian shawl” debacle. When a designer said that a classic South Asian look and adding the dupatta gave a “European” and “Scandinavian” vibe, the web was rightly upset. This goes hand in hand with the “sticky bangs” move, classically known as edging among black people, and the twist is called “Mama Mia hair” and “brownie frosted lips. ” Black and brown creators have had to deal with an exorbitant amount of explaining to their white counterparts, and that needs to be left until 2024. Just because something is new to you doesn’t mean it’s never existed before, and that doesn’t actually mean it wants to be explained. a name We want to avoid exploring fashion trends and good looks like we’re Chripreventher Columbus when Google is there.
Similar to my qualms with bloomers, the mini bubble skirt trend should have been left where they came from. The style itself isn’t a problem but I’d much rather see the gworls in the diesel belt mini skirt than the bubble skirt. I also think miss bubble is one of the many items on this list largely purchased from fast fashion brands. This trend hopped on the scene so quickly, and most shoppers are buying from brands that aren’t doing much on the sustainability front.
So, I hope that before you buy the bubble skirt you ask yourself, “Will I wear this reasonable skirt for at least the next 3 years, potentially longer?”If the answer is no, then I’m sorry to tell you that you’ve bought into a trend that you don’t even participate in.
This beef with clear ballet slippers includes two components: geographically sourced beef and cultured beef. Again, I don’t like to stick to trends, especially when it’s done because everyone else does. If sheer ballerinas are an integral component of your non-public style, then stay dressed in them. But if you’ve bought or are considering a pair with the mindset you need that everyone is talking about, then you’ll reconsider introducing those bad boys in the new year, especially when you’re not buying the original models and shopping on the wrong fast fashion sites.
Living in New York City, they just seem wildly impractical. If I were still in my home state of Miami, Florida, I might feel differently, but seeing those shoes out in the wild streets of NYC with sidewalk dumpster juice flowing everywhere sends my fashion brain into a tizzy.
I’m a big fan of Poster Girl. I think their logo identity resonates with my Miami girl aesthetic. But this Poster Girl dressing up express oversaturated my feed. It was fun while it lasted, but unless you take the time and put on a pair of six-inch pleasures, I don’t want to see this dressed up in 2025.
Honestly, it has more to do with naming smart look trends. They still feel inherently microaggressive. And then, once other people start creating moodboard photographs about what aesthetics mean (and who they think looks smart about doing so), it becomes blatantly racist. I don’t know what blank women’s makeup means. And I think in the future no one will do that either. Wear your makeup the way you want, not the way someone else tells you. We don’t want to label ourselves in the dark. This does not serve anyone. Fashion and elegant looks are fun and are rarely done under great limitations. Beauty and makeup are exploratory. Let’s continue like this in 2025.
See above. We need to stop naming beauty trends, but we especially should stop naming them after fruit. Why am I a tomato girl, and what does that even mean? I shouldn’t be called a strawberry anything just because I like to wear heavy blush. Stop boxing me in!
Kim Kardashian has never shied away from controversy. Her entire career is built off of it. So it’s no surprise she’s always stuck behind luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana even though Stefano Gabbana once called the Kardashian family the “cheapest people in the world.”
When he announced that Skims and D
I’m about to pass a bit of a grandstand here, but my passing factor with this ordeal came to a head with Sofia Richie’s dance trend that emerged a few weeks ago through Lola Young’s hit single “Messy. “
After receiving my fourth video of women referencing the “Sofia Richie Dance,” I made the decision to look for the original video. When I discovered that the dance lasted 3 seconds of indistinguishable and deserved movement, I almost lost my mind. This anecdote leads to the latest trend that I hope we leave behind in 2024: the exaggerated imitation of influencers. I sense the world we live in now, where content creators shape our culture, but it’s increasingly becoming a bit dark. While we deserve inspiration from creatives, private taste is not a dictatorship. Watching influencer Alix Earle post an article about dressing and loving skinny jeans, and then seeing the audience in the comments go crazy and say, “Ugh “Alix brought back skinny jeans, now I have to wear them,” really shook me up. .
Newsflash, you do not! I promise there will not be a tiny TikTok secret agent that comes to your home and kidnaps you if you don’t wear skinny jeans like Alix Earle. I understand the commodification of social media and trends has blurred the lines of self-identity and belonging. Still, you do not have to live according to every creator you admire and follow. There’s freedom to be had in the shopping choices we make and the trends we follow. It should be exciting and slightly daunting to figure out where you fit in the grand fashion scheme. There is no line leader, only you. In 2025, the only guide you need is yourself. Don’t buy in unless it feels right to you and only you.
