This is Campus Fashion, your source of inspiration for seasonal trends, cool finds, and wardrobe basics to keep you looking stylish throughout the year.
The season of holiday cheer, ugly sweaters, sequins, velvet, and other festive wear is now over. As 2024 fades away, 2025 ushers in new trends and styles to revamp your wardrobe. Let’s take a look at five fresh fashion trends to help you start the new year in style.
1. Pink
Looking to add a gentle colour to your wardrobe? Cosmopolitan has dubbed “ballet pink” the soft pink of the season; a colour forecast to be popular in 2025. Try wearing a light pink T-shirt with a black cardigan and jeans, or make a statement with a beautifully structured hand bag complete with an elegant dress in the same feminine shade.
2. Cream
Going monochrome can be a fun and fashionable way to lighten up and refresh your wardrobe, and cream is another trending tone to watch for. Try wearing a coordinated look with a cream sweater and matching pants paired with brown boots, gold jewellery, and a handbag for a polished look.
3. Stripes
Want to begin the new year with a bang? Be on the look out for stripes this season. Multi-coloured, classic nautical navy, and black and white stripes are here to make an impact this winter. Try wearing a black and white striped sweater with a long black vest, white or black jeans, and sneakers for a more casual look.
4. Skinny jeans
According to CNN, skinny jeans are making a comeback this year. A flattering and versatile piece, skinny jeans pair great with chunky sweaters and turtlenecks, or blazers for a more dressed up look. Try wearing them with a white button down shirt, an oversized cable-knit cardigan, and tall boots for a casual look on campus.
5. Suede
Soft and buttery, suede — or alternatively, faux suede — is anticipated to make a big statement in 2025. Try a neutral coloured piece in brown, black, or cream to dress up an outfit. A brown moto jacket paired with jeans, a turtleneck, and ankle boots is a great look that is both casual and on-trend this season.
And there you have it, a few styles that are sure to add a fresh look to your wardrobe. Put your best fashion foot forward in 2025!
