I hope your New Year has got off to a good start. We had a bad start to ours with a very poorly pooch who had to have an overnight stay in a pet hospital. He’s on the mend now, thankfully, but I’ll know to hide the mince pies better next year.
I thought I’d start the New Year with some positive reflections. Don’t worry, I’m not going to go on about goals, resolutions and manifesting – we have enough of that in January.
I’m referring to the womenswear trends you’ll be glad to see the back of in 2025. You’re (hopefully) #blessed that you didn’t waste your hard earned money on these:-
The womenswear trends you’ll be glad to ditch in 2025
Mesh shoes
Yep, they are officially on their way out but only if it’s not raining, snowing or on the chilly side. The shoe style you can only wear in perfect sunny and dry conditions – so not that much in the UK then. The ‘emperor’s new clothes’ of the shoe world has been discovered to be as useless as it appeared.

Pyjama trousers
The trousers we usually wore just to bed were worn outside – as featured heavily on Instagram last Summer. They were great if you were trying to perfect that ‘just woke up and there’s no milk in the fridge’ look but odd otherwise.
Underwear as outerwear
Specifically knickers worn without trousers. These are not just any old M&S apple catchers (said in the sultry voice of the M&S advert), these are embellished, expensive, designer apple catchers. This Vogue article might help us understand.
Excessive ruffles
The revamped boho concept looked soooo nice on the Chloe runway. The high street reality looked like a collection of tea stained flammable rags that even Sienna Miller would struggle to look good in!
To be fair, this is a trend the young ‘socks with everything generation’ pulled off and will continue to. I would advise anyone over the age of forty to proceed with caution though. My clients can be reassured that it will never enter the changing room on my watch.
Are you bored of your wardrobe?
Make 2025 the year you fall back in love your style and create a stylish, modern and effortless wardrobe that reflects the best version of you.
January is the perfect time to clear out the clutter—both in your wardrobe and your mindset—and invest in your future self. The confidence and positivity this brings can be life-changing, with benefits that last for years.
