Top 10 Women’s Fashion Trends for 2025

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about fashion in 2025, it’s that rules are out the window.  

This year’s trends prove that “too much” can actually be just right, and that something as simple as a tennis skirt or an oversized hoodie can suddenly become a statement piece. The point of fashion is less about dressing like everyone else and more about experimenting until you find what feels most you. And on your journey there, everything is fair game. 

The fun of it all is in the mix. Sheer fabrics are layered over streetwear, balletcore is breaking out of the dance studio, and pearls are sitting right next to chunky sneakers. From “Old Money chic” to maximalist prints, different aesthetics are taking over the streets and runways.

Here at Funktasy, we know fashion is half confidence and half keeping up with the trends. So, here are the women’s fashion trends dominating 2025.

Old Money Chic

With tailored blazers, silk blouses, and neutral tones, this trend is keeping the “quiet luxury” aesthetic alive and well. Invest in timeless staples like wide-leg trousers, collared blouses, and structured purses.

The colour palette leans toward beige, cream, navy, and soft grays. Be sure to add pearls, loafers, and sleek watches as a finishing touch. If you’re seeking fashion inspo, Sofia Richie Grainge’s wardrobe is an excellent place to start. Channel your inner Daisy Buchanan a la “The Great Gatsby,” and make sure to clutch your pearls. 

Balletcore

This trend is the epitome of delicate, ultra-feminine fashion. Balletcore takes its cues straight from the barre, centring on wrap cardigans, ballet flats, hair ribbons and everything pastel pink. The fabrics should be lightweight, and accessories are essential. Don’t skip out on dainty jewelry, high-sitting buns, satin hair bows, and pearl-studded headbands. 

With this aesthetic, ballerina elegance is reimagined for everyday life. This look is soft but striking, making it perfect for matcha runs, brunch dates, or strolling through a gallery. 

Sheer Everything

Transparency is in for 2025, even in fashion. This time it’s more about showing style, not just showing skin. 

Followers of this trend are experimenting with see-through fabrics and layered looks that make sheer pieces versatile and edgy. Mesh tops, organza blouses, and sheer maxi skirts over lingerie-inspired slips are the main staples. Layering in this trend is the way to go. Some people opt to accentuate their look with lace bralettes or sheer underwear, taking this risqué look to the next level.

Coastal Cowgirl 

It’s Southern charm mixed with Coachella, and then some. Coastal Cowgirl combines breezy beach vibes with rugged cowboy style, and it’s one of the most playful trends of the year. Think cowboy boots styled with linen sundresses, crochet bikini tops under oversized denim jackets, and big belts that add a bold Western edge.

This trend has exploded in popularity, thanks to social media and music festival season. Accessories make a big difference with this aesthetic—straw hats, statement belt buckles, and fringe bags make the look Instagram-ready.

Modern Boho 

Boho style isn’t gone… It just grew up. This trend is the 2025 remix of the classic bohemian look. While it’s still free-spirited, Modern Boho has a more curated vibe. Flowing maxi dresses, suede boots and crochet tops are the go-tos, but instead of chaotic layering, the outfits are styled with more intention.

Boho’s resurgence is all about layering with chunky jewelry and wide-brim hats. Fringe bags, patterned scarves, and stacked bracelets are still part of the look, but now, they’re paired with sleeker pieces–like a tailored jacket or a polished belt–to keep it fresh. Bonus points if you can pull off fringe bangs!

Schoolgirl Prep 

The schoolgirl aesthetic got a rebellious twist this year. Plaid skirts, oversized blazers, knee-high socks, and loafers are all still fair game, but now, these styles include crop tops, graphic tees, or bold statement jewelry. 

It’s the perfect mix of “Gossip Girl” and grunge, giving preppy staples a downtown edge. Throw a bomber jacket over a pleated skirt or pair a button-up blouse with chunky sneakers, and suddenly you’re serving prep with personality. 

Denim on Denim

Thanks to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter, we’re seeing a Renaissance (get it?) on all-denim outfits. From patchwork jeans to denim corsets to classic Canadian tuxedos, this aesthetic is redefining the fabric we all know and love. 

The key to being successful in this trend is to ditch basic skinny jeans and lean into unexpected shapes. Think oversized silhouettes, dramatic washes and denim used in ways you wouldn’t have expected (i.e. denim purses – aka the “jurse”). It’s versatile, durable, and more trendy than ever. 

Maximalist Prints

For those who aren’t loving the minimalist trend, then this one is for you. Maximalist prints are dominating the runways and the streets, bringing back the joy of “dopamine dressing.” 

This trend has no rules. It’s all about clashing florals, animal prints, geometric patterns and bold colours all mashed into one unapologetic outfit. A floral maxi skirt layered with a leopard-print coat? Why not? You can throw in some accessories to elevate the look, such as oversized sunglasses, chunky jewelry, patterned scarves, and statement handbags. 

The Billie Eilish Aesthetic

We’re drawing inspo from the “Happier Than Ever” singer to flip traditional fashion rules by turning oversized, baggy silhouettes into sexy aesthetics. These looks are all about boxy T-shirts, loose cargo pants, oversized hoodies and chunky sneakers styled intentionally.

Logos, graphics, and textures are where the personality shines, with accessories like beanies, layered chains, and statement sunglasses giving the fit its edge. The goal here isn’t to look messy. It’s all about creating volume while still keeping the look sharp. 

Country Club Core

Even if you’re not a member of a country club, dressing like you are is one of the biggest fashion trends of 2025. Country Club Core takes the classic elements of tennis and golf attire and gives them a fashionable spin. Think Challengers chic, Tashi Duncan is the epitome of this aesthetic, embodying that mix of discipline, privilege, and allure.

Pleated tennis skirts, crisp polos, fitted cardigans, and clean white sneakers are key components to this aesthetic, and be sure to style them in a way that feels chic rather than sporty. Accessories can help you polish the look, such as sporty visors, retro crew socks, and mini shoulder bags.

So, What’s it Gonna Be?

Will you step out in Old Money chic, lean into Balletcore softness or push boundaries with maximalist prints? Maybe you’ll channel Country Club Core à la Challengers, or keep it grounded in denim-on-denim Americana?

Whatever your vibe is, the rule of 2025 is simple: fashion is all about self-expression. Don’t be afraid to experiment, clash, or reinvent yourself. At the end of the day, the real trend is confidence, and that never goes out of style.
