The Top 18 Clothing Trends of 2025

Style on the rise: mini dress

As some demographics increasingly demand more modest fashion choices, others are going the other direction. The resurgence of the mini dress highlights a shift towards bold, expressive fashion choices that challenge conventional modesty norms.

Clothing rental and subscription platforms

Amidst rising environmental concerns, clothing rental platforms offer a sustainable way to stay on top of the latest clothing trends, providing a rotating wardrobe without the waste of fast fashion. This model resonates strongly with millennials and Gen Z, who prioritize access over ownership.

This trend is aligned with movements towards sustainable luxury as seen in refillable perfume bottles, a top fragrance trend, as well as the general increase in subscription businesses, a top trend in retail.

Athleisure and comfort wear on the rise

Athleisure, the mix of sportswear into everyday fashion, is one of the defining current clothing trends, fueled by the decline of formality in American fashion and the desire to be seen as healthy amid growing fitness trends — yoga pants, tights, sneakers, leggings, gym shorts, and so on.

A century ago, there'd be separate clothing for the restaurant, clothing for the gallery, clothing for the street - all different categories of dress. Those barriers have come down in a big way and athleisure is the poster child of that movement.
