2025 is here and with it comes a host of new and exciting trends!
Looking forward to the Spring/Summer season here at McElhinneys, we've put together a list of some of the key fashion trends to watch out for.
From animal prints to suede, and accessories to wardrobe essentials, here are some of our top picks!
1. Suede
Suede is making a lasting impact, transitioning seamlessly into the Spring/Summer 2025 season.
Once a staple of autumn and winter wardrobes, this versatile material is now gaining momentum year-round.
Suede bags, shoes, and jackets - like this one from Joseph Ribkoff - are becoming increasingly popular, adding a stylish touch to warm-weather outfits.
2. Animal Print
Animal prints are making a powerful comeback with leopard print once again taking centre stage this season.
This timeless pattern refuses to fade, continuously making its way back into the fashion scene.
Full-print dresses, skirts, blouses or accessories like shoes and handbags are now key pieces and essential for elevating anyone’s spring wardrobe.
This leopard print skirt from Soyaconcept is a great example of this trend in a casual setting, incorporating the print style with durable denim fabric.
3. Accessories
This year it’s not only about dressing yourself but it’s also about making the most of your accessories.
Whether it’s adding belts, jewellery or scarves to complete your look, accessories are the new way to showcase your personality through your style.
Add a pop of colour to any outfit with the right accessories, such as this fun multi-coloured bracelet from Coeur De Lion.
4. Trending Colours
As we dive into the new year, it’s impossible to overlook the standout colour trends for this upcoming year.
Pantone has declared “Mocha Mousse” as the colour of the year for 2025. According to Pantone this warm brown hue is “imbued with richness” with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee it’s said to answer, “our desire for comfort”.
A great example of this trend can be seen in this stunning sling bag from Katie Loxton in a mocha shade - easily adding this colour trend to your wardrobe in a wearable way!
Other key colours making waves this year include Bran, Dé Vu Blue, Crocus, Kashmir, Lime Cream, Misted Marigold, Limpet Shell, and Orangeade.
