5 Fashion Trends That You’ll See Everywhere in 2025

It comes to a point where you realize your For You Page captures a small fraction of fashion trends. And while storefront displays and seasonal brand collaborations tell another story, stepping out of your shops and social timelines and onto the streets reveals a far more compelling narrative of dress, especially in a city such as New York. It’s a menagerie of different styles out there, of pairing thrift store holy grails with hand-me-downs, luxury jewelry, and everything in between. Coordinating couples waiting at the subway or friend groups gathered at a stoop, each with wardrobes worlds-away from the other — truly anything goes.

We kept a sharp eye on every avenue, streetcorner, and stoop to get a sense of what exactly New Yorkers are wearing. Below, explore five fashion trends New York City just can’t get enough of — and neither can we.

The More Trinkets, the Better

Bag charms have quickly become accessory-du-jour, and there’s certainly no shortage of them in NYC, where every other block has a shop with floor-to-ceiling walls’ worth of any keychain imaginable. It’s no wonder why so many people have readily embraced stacks of baubles and bows that spill over purse handles, as the joy of curating a pocket-size cabinet of curiosities for a handbag is as thrilling as it looks, and, quite literally, sounds. Especially notable trinkets we spotted including a miniature Barbie Polaroid camera (yes, it works!), an anthropomorphic tennis ball Jellycat, and stylish rodent plushies.
