If the spring 2025 collections are any indication, directional fashion will include standout trends such as soft romance, maximalist opulence, individualism, and powder pink in the months to come. While many of the looks from the runways are more editorial in nature and likely to land on a magazine cover or a red carpet look, I’m most interested to see how the biggest trends of the season will translate to outfit ideas.
Early adopters have already been putting many of the latest style ideas from designers to the test, wearing outfits that tap into 2025's biggest trends and demonstrating where fashion is headed. Ahead, see directional outfits that interpret the top trends in wearable ways.
