The year 2025 dictates new rules of style, and some things should be left in the past so as not to look old-fashioned. What trends have officially become anti-trends? What is better to remove from your wardrobe and what can be adapted to current trends? Halyna Denysiuk, a well-known Ukrainian stylist, fashion expert, and influencer, gave answers to these questions.
According to the expert, in 2025, quality, comfort, and balance in the image will remain at the peak of popularity. Therefore, some things that were once at the top of fashion trends may look irrelevant today and even spoil the overall impression.
What you should definitely throw out of your wardrobe in 2025
The stylist advises to say goodbye to several outdated trends.
Excessive logomania
"Large inscriptions and flashy branded prints. Nowadays, stylishness is about quality and fit, not about having the price of the clothes written all over them," the expert explains.
Ultra-tight fit
"Very tight things that literally "bump" into the body look outdated. This also applies to leggings that are worn as pants - it is better to give preference to more structured silhouettes," comments Halyna.
Synthetic shiny fabrics
"Another anti-trend is synthetic shiny fabrics, especially cheap satin or glossy polyester. They can spoil even a well-designed look, making it visually low-quality," says the fashion expert.
Excessive glitter and rhinestones
Items richly decorated with artificial stones and rhinestones, especially in casual wear, have lost their relevance. According to Halyna, it is better to choose more restrained and elegant details.
White shoes
Although white shoes were once very popular, they may look out of place in 2025. The stylist recommends giving preference to shoes in neutral or pastel colors.
Acidic shades
Overly bright, "acid" colors are no longer in trend. Modern fashion tends to favor natural and muted tones that add sophistication to the image.
What things in your wardrobe can "cheapen" your look
The expert also named several elements that can negatively affect the perception of your style.
"As for things that can "cheapen" the image, everything is simple. These are too revealing clothes without balance: when a short dress, a deep neckline, and shiny material are combined in one look," she says.
It is important to observe the measure and create harmonious images.
Also, wearing fake branded accessories or clothes does not add style, but rather can negatively affect your image.
"Invest in quality items from lesser-known brands that will emphasize your taste," the expert advises.
You should also be careful with too high heels of poor quality - they can instantly make the look cheaper. In general, high-quality and comfortable shoes are the key to a stylish look.
"Despite the outward appeal, uncomfortable shoes can ruin your mood and confidence. Comfort should come first, as it directly affects your posture and overall appearance," she adds.
Trends of 2025: what to look for
Denysiuk also reminded us of the current trends of 2025 that will help us look stylish and modern:
- boho chic
- asymmetrical silhouettes
- maximalism in accessories
- sporty chic
"Modern style is about balance, balance, and quality. Sometimes it's better to have fewer things, but each of them will be really stylish and versatile," the stylist summarized.
