2024 fashion and beauty trends were passing by us at lightning speed. In our current era of social media — with apps like TikTok completely controlling our aesthetic algorithm, one second something was in, and the next…you know.
If you’re anything like me, then you’ve probably scrolled through your social media feed most days in utter disbelief, wondering how something as questionable as “Scandinavian shawls” or “cherry cola lips” became a thing. If you’ve ever thought, “Hmm, I could live without that rather niche and sure-to-be abandoned trend,” congrats — this list is for you. In 2025, we’re opting for authenticity and self-decided fashion choices over ever-spinning trend cycles.
Below, we’re diving into the trends, cores, and fashion moments that need to take a permanent exit stage left at the end of this year.
Bloomers

I cannot lie; when these bad boys first hit the scene, I was not immediately impassioned in either direction by them. They were simply a variation of the inevitable micro-shorts trend we’d seen the last few years. But now I must admit I am a full-blown hater of the bloomers. They need to go — immediately (must be read in the voice of Joanne the Scammer). As a Miamian who has always believed the fewer the clothes the better, we are losing the plot. I love a good undergarment as much as the next person, but there is no reason we are taking public transit wearing ruffled underwear. It just isn’t doing what it needs to anymore and it’s limiting our styling range. Layers are important, and if you want to keep the bloomers in rotation, I want to see Disney Channel leading lady-level layering happening with those.
