Just because it’s a new year doesn’t mean we’re switching up on the beloved trends that kept us looking stylish and fresh all last year.
There are some fads that you’ll have to pry from our cold, dead hands to get us to stop wearing. There are even a few that are sure to leave us impressed beyond the grave, speaking to just how timeless and needed they are in the fashion community. Without these selections, we truly don’t think our 2026 would be as fabulous, and there’s a good chance you’ll feel the same way.
Without further ado, here are the 2025 fashion trends that will certainly survive the 2026 closet purge.
Animal print
While solid colors will always have their moment, we really appreciated the way animal print went above and beyond to steal the show in 2025. This design gave us a surefire way to look as fabulous as ever. Be a cheetah print or zebra, nothing says “extraordinary” like these gorgeous patterns.
Faux fur
We might as well be a broken record with the way we talk about faux fur on this website. So much so that you’re probably well aware of the way we live for this fabulous, chic, lovely textile. But just in case you needed another reason, we adore the way its lushness always has your back throughout the seasons.
Leather
We love, love, love everything leather did for us in 2025. From letting us tap into our daring side to giving the streets something to talk about as we pranced by, this material made it its job to keep us looking fashion-forward throughout every season.
Polka dots
It’s just us and our passion for polka dots against the world, and that’s quite all right with us. This pattern has made its way in and out of the style world for several years now. Even so, we can never get mad at this design’s commitment to serving through the coming and going of trends.
Mini dresses
We all know that the mini dress is eternal and isn’t going anywhere, but the same sentiment has to be extended to mini dresses with shape-defying silhouettes because, no matter the trend cycle, these pieces make us look expensive and runway-ready. The possibilities are endless with this one.
Suit sets
If you see us without a suit set on at least once this year, you have our full permission to wag your finger in disappointment. This tried-and-true ensemble allowed us to step into our feminine and masculine energy at the same time. The best part is that all the aspects of the ensemble work together separately, giving us even more options to choose from in our wardrobe.
Monochrome
Monochrome? Shantay, you stay. This aesthetic deserves an award for giving us plenty of effortless ways to turn up the heat this year. Whether it’s an all-burgundy moment or an all-black look, there’s never been a better excuse to buy the same color over and over.
