In a fast-paced world of fashion and social media, trends come and go at lightning speeds. Here’s a look at some trends M-A students think will fade as 2025 inches closer.
Sophomore Olivia Fong is sure jorts will soon be out of the loop. “All the trends, especially with styles of jeans, just come and go every year,” she said. “People who wear jorts right now are going to find a new style of jeans in 2025. It’s like skinny jeans, which were popular in the early 2000s.”
“I think the coquette style is very overdone,” freshman Ava Paruzewski said. “The trend itself is just bows and pink everywhere. Right now, people are starting to gravitate more towards minimalistic styles like Stockholm and vanilla girl styles because there’s more variety of fashion and people can do more with it.”
Sophomore Gabby Zamora predicts Uggs, a popular shoe brand for winter months, will soon die down. “I think everyone is mostly wearing crocs to school now,” she said. “I feel like Uggs don’t really match with anything. Brown is a hard color to match.”
“Really baggy clothing will definitely be out of the loop,” sophomore Isabella Gonzalez said. “I just think it looks really stupid, and I hope people will soon come to realize that it doesn’t look good. If you style it right it might work, but from everything I have seen so far, it looks really dumb and awkward.”
Junior Grant Maletis predicts cheetah print will go out of style by the end of this year. “Cheetah print is associated with fast fashion, which is a concept that never lasts and is severely overused in the production of clothing,” he said.
Junior Lily Chesler believes certain water bottle styles are on their way out. “I’m sure Owala water bottles will go out of style,” she said. “It’s not that I don’t like the Owalas—I even have one myself. But it’s the fact that I have a Stanley and Hydroflask I don’t ever bring to school that were so popular years ago.”
“This just goes to show that there’s a lot of microtrends that everyone is so influenced by, and then they have just wasted their money on things they will never use again,” she added.
It can’t be certain which trends will last and which will fade away, but these students’ predictions make clear cases for items that might soon be left gathering dust.
