Fashion is no stranger to cycles, and this year, some of the most iconic trends from the past are making a bold return. From Y2K influences to fresh new silhouettes and vintage swimwear, 2025 is shaping up to be a nostalgic year with a modern twist.
With warmer weather and sunny days ahead, it seems like there will be a resurgence of high-waisted bikinis, evoking 1940s nostalgia, with many remembering the iconic silhouette in Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, and many more.
Most recently, Kaia Gerber rocked a baby blue high-waisted bikini while filming the highly anticipated comedy series 'Overcompensating' starring 'White Lotus' stars Connie Britton and Adam DiMarco.
The model-turned-actress was seen in the trailer for the show, wearing the chic bikini paired with wedge sandals. This returning bikini style creates a flattering, elongating effect on the legs and provides more coverage around the midsection.
The sneaker trend taking over this year:
Kaia was recently spotted in Los Angeles wearing a casual ensemble, which included another growing trend in sneakers. The 'Bottoms' star wore a denim-on-denim look, which included black pants, a white top, and a blue jacket.
She completed the outfit with a gray scarf, a blue hat, a black bag, and a new trend in sneakers, as many are now ditching the chunky silhouette for sleek silhouettes, such as the Voile Blanche’s new SS25 collection, the timeless Sambas, and the return of the Onitsuka Tiger sneakers.
These sleek runners are taking over as the go-to footwear choice, replacing the once-omnipresent chunky sneakers that dominated street style in recent years, especially when it comes to celebrities and A-list stars, who like to maintain a 'minimalist luxury' style.
This casual yet stylish and sophisticated aesthetic focuses on high-quality materials, minimalist designs, and neutral tones without any logos or branding, highlighting the subtlety, sophistication, and timeless pieces.
The new trend in sneakers embraces clean lines, neutral palettes, and refined textures, giving off an effortlessly chic vibe.
