Fashion Trends

Current fashion trends include the return of formal dressing with big shoulders and tailored looks, alongside boho influences like romantic lace and faux fur, and the dominance of bold prints such as zebra. Sustainability and comfort, often seen in oversized silhouettes, are also key, particularly with Gen Z and the rise of the fisherman core aesthetic.  

Key Trends for 2025.

As Paris Fashion Week wrapped up after myriad debuts and shake-ups, three trends took hold. Shoulders were broadened and jackets snapped to attention. Skin showed on the wearer’s terms. And dressy, formal fashion came back — lighter, simpler, and meant for real life, not just red carpets.

Call it Paris ’ no-nonsense reply to a jittery year: clothes that square your shoulders, put you in charge of your body and add walk-in impact to any weekday at work.

Because the French capital remains the ultimate fashion gateway and the city that closes the season, trends seen here will rapidly cascade to high streets in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and beyond. Celebrity isn’t new to fashion — but its pull is growing, and this season it felt central once again.

The star arrivals turned shows into broadcast moments before the first look. Designers responded accordingly.

This week’s shows underlined the impact of the digital age. Celebrity-driven fashion shows now reach a global audience online, so designs must look great both in person and on camera. The most successful looks are those that impress live and also stand out in quick, eye-catching clips.
