OUT: OVERLY RIPPED JEANS || IN: WIDE LEG JEANS:

First on my list of 5 fashion trends out of style in 2025 is overly ripped and heavily distressed denim! Excess rips and distressing enjoyed their moment, but wide-leg denim will dominate in 2025. Pistola created this gorgeous pair of jeans with an incredible fit that flatters beautifully. The clean design highlights the silhouette, and the fit feels like a dream. I wear a size 24, and they fit true to size!

OUT: PAPERBAG WAIST PANTS || IN: HIGH-WAISTED FLARE PANTS

Paperbag waist pants dominated as a huge trend from 2022 to 2023, but the fad was fairly short-lived as far as trends go. I would recommend a pair of high-waisted flare pants in a modern and trendy material such as faux leather. This pair of sleek espresso-colored faux leather flares is checking all the boxes for me this winter. The material is incredibly soft and comfortable, the shade is divine and right now you can get 40% off with code BLACKFRIDAY so the price is right! I wear an XS and find they fit true to size.

OUT: LOW WAISTED SKINNY JEANS || IN: HIGH-WAISTED MODERN SKINNY JEANS

No. 3 on my list of fashion trends out of style in 2025 is low-waisted skinny jeans! These have been out for quite a while, but some die-hards still cling to this style. If that sounds like you, I urge you to try a pair of high-waisted modern skinny jeans in 2025! They update the look with a slightly looser fit and a flattering high waist that makes your legs look miles long. I love this pair by Agolde and reach for them often—they’ve been a favorite for years. I wear a size 24 in these flattering modern skinny jeans, and I promise you’ll love them too!

OUT: SKIN SHOWING BETWEEN YOUR ANKLE BOOTS AND JEANS || IN: ANKLE BOOTS TUCKED UNDER YOUR JEANS

Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m personally very happy to see this trend in the rear-view mirror. When your ankle boots and jeans leave a gap showing skin, I feel like they awkwardly cut off my legs, and I much prefer tucking my boots under my jeans. This year, the most popular way to wear jeans and boots in 2025 tops my list, so if you’re ready to ditch cold ankles, this trend suits you! I’m linking my all-time FAVORITE pair of ankle booties from Veronica Beard along with a budget-friendly version below!

BETTER FOR BUDGET:

If the pair of Veronica Beard booties above is a bit out of budget, no worries! I’ve found an incredibly similar pair from Marc Fisher at a fraction of the price. They feature the same classic structure, heel height, and finish as the boots above, but with a much smaller price tag. Sizes are limited but they often restock so keep checking back if your size is sold out!

OUT: NEON COLORS || IN: NEUTRAL TONES

The last of 5 fashion trends out of style in 2025 is bright, bold neon shades. I went through a phase where I fully embraced dopamine dressing, using bright colors to boost my mood. Over time, I realized I feel more like myself in classic neutral shades, so I’m thrilled about this trend shift. This fall, one standout neutral piece has been this classic leather blazer in a gorgeous soft brown shade. The 100% premium leather feels buttery soft, and the tailored fit creates a sophisticated look. The price comes in well under typical leather blazer costs, delivering luxury quality at an amazing value! It runs true to size, and I wear an XS for a perfect fit.
