No question of buying out-of-date clothes during the sales! What fashion pieces should you invest in during the winter promotions from January 8 to February 4, 2025, which will still be trendy until the next winter sales? 20 Minutes has found 10 must-haves!
The sailor
Ahoy sailors! Marinières, pea coats, cable knit sweaters and sardine tattoos… The fisherman trend is on deck in 2025 among generations Z and X, according to the Pinterest Predicts report. Originally intended for French sailors and fishermen, the sailor top has risen, over the decades, to the rank of essential pieces in our wardrobes. The spring/summer 2025 season is no exception to the rule, quite the contrary! In 2025, the idea is to play with contrasts, by combining this iconic piece with less classic elements like sequin pants in the evening for example.
The mini-short
A simple piece for maximum effect! The mini-short is one of the key pieces of the 2025 wardrobe. In striped knit at Chanel, bloomer style at Miu-Miu, in denim at Diesel, covered with monograms at Gucci… Heir to the trend no pantsthis daring piece will give you miles of legs as long as you wear it in monochrome mode. In winter, wear it under a long coat with tights and a pair of matching colored shoes. For next summer, it can be worn as a duo with a matching top.
The costumes
Suits are no longer the prerogative of powerful men! In 2025, in a world in search of identities and new definitions, women's suits are emerging as THE new evening dress, like Angélina Jolie in a three-piece Dolce Gabbana suit on the Festival red carpet from London Film. An emblematic silhouette from the last Saint Laurent fashion show, in homage to the founder of the house, it was also spotted on the catwalks of Dior, Stella McCartney, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Schiaparelli, Jil Sander and Bottega Veneta. Wearing a suit means being sexy, while confining your silhouette to a conquering power!
Le baggy
Fashion is an eternal beginning. Until recently considered completely has-been, the baggy is making a comeback in the collections. Initially adopted by American prisoners deprived of belts, the baggy reached its peak at the turn of the 21st century thanks to rappers from Kriss Kross to Eminem. In 2025, these wide pants are combined with an ultra-feminine top like at Alaïa, Chanel, Patou, Stella McCartney, Valentino, Duran Lantink, The Attico and even Victoria Beckham.
Le slim
A piece undeniably linked to the history of British rock! Punk and anarchist in the 1970s, the slim fit (which hugs the legs and crotches a little too much) irritates the most conservative. At the dawn of the 2000s, slim jeans emerged from the world of protest rockers thanks to Kate Moss who made them her signature uniform. The slim cut then gradually disappeared from the fashion radar… before inspiring the ADs at Balmain, Courrèges, McQueen, Mugler and even The Attico. A very-must-have for all wardrobes that spans the ages without taking a wrinkle!
La parka
In spring summer 2025, the parka is the new trench! This year, we're playing the clash of styles card and banking on unexpected combos. Wear your parka over a glamorous evening dress, with sequins or sequins, like at Burberry, Prada or Rabanne. The perfect balance between fashion and practicality!
The fringed bag
Pharrell Williams and his cowboy parade at Vuitton, then Beyoncé and her album Cowboy Carter definitely have the “cowboy core” on the fashion desirability map. Fringes have reappeared in our wardrobe this winter, and will persist next season. We spotted fringes on a shoulder bag at Isabel Marant, a basket at Michael Kors, but also at Fendi or Coperni… The fringed bag is the essential accessory that will spruce up your summer outfits!
Floral print
The floral pattern, often relevant in good weather, is bold in 2025! Exit the discreet little flowers of liberty fabrics, we focus on pieces statement with the tapestry pattern with the retro charm of your grandmother's sofa. A real bouquet seen on the catwalks of Saint Laurent, Versace, Coperni, Loewe, Marni, Mugler, Dries Van Noten and Zomer. The secret? Marry your room statement with minimalist clothing to balance it all out!
The choker necklace
No offense to necklace lovers, the choker necklace is making a comeback in 2025! As proof, Elle Fanning's choker, Ariana Grande's rhinestone crystal choker, or even the large choker of Anna Sawai, the star of the series Shōgun on the red carpet at the recent Golden Globes ceremony. The advantage? These necklaces give the illusion of an elongated neck!
La combinaison workwear
It's been a few seasons now that the blue jacket worn by workers, the mechanic's overalls or the carpenter's pants revisited by designers have been making their mark on the catwalks. In 2025, the work suit was paraded in the biggest fashion houses: Chanel, Dior and Hermès. Gaining in lightness and femininity, there is no doubt that it will be the ideal ally for your summer evenings!
