I am on my knees PRAYING for a midcentury medieval revival this year. I see little bits of "weirdieval" creeping in and I'm hoping that's a good sign!

[@gardeningtheearth]

Joan of arc is an icon for this era we’re in

[@abramserva]

omg yes i love 60s medieval fashion

[@cassandralyris4918]

Yes! I'm not the only one!

[@rhiannonrising]

*puts on Renaissance record*

[@margaretcummings4146]

I definitely saw a trend of "man repellant" makeup on my socials, which sometimes did incorporate the graphic liner you mentioned! I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more anti-facial recognition makeup this year, and maybe more cyber punk elements generally. The sister trend to that could incorporate elements of medieval revival - like peasant punk or something? I'm picturing making medieval pieces out of thrifted fabric, visible mending, embroidery and other personal touches. The practicality of clothing from the past but reimagined for the current moment. I've also been noticing folks talking about how you can't expect to have a personal style if you're just following microtrends (and it's bad for the environment and also your soul), so my dream is that we'll be seeing more people leaning into personal style in general - I also won't be satisfied until everyone is shopping all secondhand!

[@avalonjameson]

Revolution-esque clothing circa 2025: Balaclavas, masks, black jackets, backpacks, and anti-surveillance makeup.

[@gigigibby]

maybe 2025 will be the year we‘ll all go full on Pussy Riot 💥

[@maddiekerper486]

balaclava is next on my crochet list hehe

[@CYOTFS]

I'm into this. The revolution is coming.

[@avalonjameson]

@@CYOTFSBring soup. 👀

[@lucadupras1640]

So I just became a subscriber, and I kept noticing your home in the background of your posts. its an interesting mix of mid century wood, red siding, cement block, and accordion closet doors. In one of your videos you said you would address the House Story when you get to 100k. well you have 100k, Id love to see a video explaining your home and its design. Even just a floor plan would help me understand this house more.

[@haleyjarret8162]

I'm personally feeling a shift towards being more spooky and creepy. Maybe it's because I watched Nosferatu twice. Maybe it's because everything feels like it's falling apart. Anyways, that's my prediction. I'm going to be haunted this year.

[@DirtyLittleRats]

I agree!

[@margaretfrozena9443]

Goth year 100%!

[@madamharbinger]

Tangentially, I've noticed more mushrooms and scavengers and things related with decay, often paired with pop-y mid century colors in a nihilistic sort of way

[@nerdmaid1240]

Yes, I too think we will all be haunted in 2025! Especially with the release of the Practical Magic film, the second instalment of Wicked and the new Wednesday hitting Netflix. I feel like as we head into autumn we’ll be witching hard. My eyeliner is poised.

[@elizabethwillis885]

Since green is my favorite color, I always notice green popularity. And I will say this. A shade of green is always popular. It just depends on the shade. Sometimes it’s emerald, or hunter, or Sage, or mint, or moss, or slime, or neon, or camo green.

[@cjofloorish]

Agree! Years ago I loved sage green. Now my favourite shades are chartreuse and mossy tones. We all change but green forever!

[@esornsin]

I do recall a lil' stinker mentioning that once she reached 100K, she'd finally drop a full house tour!! 😅😊 🎉 Congrats Kathleen!

[@dugga011]

2025 - year of the GOTHIC from medieval to modern, it’s getting dark creepy and maybe romantic (in a Jane Eyre kinda way)

[@nefertitimontoya]

I actually think it's going to lean more whimsical medieval than gothic. Like stars and capes and poofy silhouettes. I think it'll be in response to a dark time, so we'll dress lightly? Love the energy of this comment tho

[@nerdmaid1240]

I agree. There’s definitely a gothic vibe coming, but like you say more ‘creeping round a gothic manor’ than it has been. Isn’t there an adaptation of Wuthering Heights promised this year? It’s the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth this year too, and lots of adaptations and events are afoot here in the UK. I feel like that’s going to have an impact as well.

[@edwardtheinsane]

Watching these trend videos, I always feel like an anthropologist. Quietly observing a culture I don’t understand. Curious and fascinated. I look forward to next week!

[@yunabrooks]

I feel the same way about fashion! ❤

[@danabry5223]

I feel like all of your predictions were correct but just for the wrong year. Ive been seeing the organic metals and nasty nauticals popping up more as trends for 2025. Your psychic abilities are just too powerful 🔮

[@KathleenIllustrated]

dude, I feel the same way! i was predicting a full year out 🔮🔮🔮

[@danabry5223]

@KathleenIllustrated you should do predictions for 2025 so we can have a loom ahead at 2026 😏

[@lexicaprise1216]

Agreed

[@crosirian]

I absolutely love your style Kathleen, especially that supersized necklace (chain-thing? i have no idea what it's called, but it's cute)! I'm also living for this closet-goblin setup, it's like we crawled into a massive wardrobe to exchange stories.

[@maggiemay0328]

@crosirian~ I’m obsessed with that necklace she always wears too!

[@acchristianson]

100K you deserve it bay-bee 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 love you, Kathleen

[@ashleylovelace3167]

Perfect distraction on a really tough day. Thanks for posting today 💜

[@hanonymous1233]

2025 predictions: I hate to say it but I reckon we'll see more of a move towards conservative fashion trends. In times of economic hardship, we tend to see lowered hems, so I bet we'll see a lot of maxi silhouettes. A return of skinny, white, blonde ideals. More minimalism and corporate vibes. Maybe we'll see a counter culture vibe against this? It'd be nice.

[@glowyaf]

Let’s call it pentacostalcore (jkjk). I would love to see more edgy styles as a pushback to what is going on in the world right now though.

[@violetbyers6818]

I've noticed this year a HUGE shift in people caring about natural fibers and being anti polyester, even retailwise I've noticed there is maybe ever so slightly less polyester and places pushing natural fiber keywords on items get get that sale.. But definitely way more people have started to wake up and join the natural fibers mostly club and I think it will continue on.

[@okayheykae]

Thank you for inviting us to float through the apocalypse with you - I'll happily take you up on that offer! (Also I'm completely oblivious to what's going on in the fashion world so these videos are really interesting to watch and I feel like an anthropologist!)

[@vincentbriggs1780]

I am quite oblivious to trends, but it's neat to hear about your predictions! Within the confines of my sewing room I predict that I'll make some cute mid 18th century jackets, a lot of big square cut nightgowns, probably some fancy leather gloves, and hopefully some fall front pants.

[@ChickadeeTwee]

I feel like we’re seeing a return of slower trends, as people become more financially and ethically responsible. We want the trend to last vs investing in a style that lasts a month.

[@laylayoi]

Omg your eye makeup makes your eyes POP in that sponsorship vid! Love your videos and insight!!!

[@lain-or-shine]

Two options for 2025 (for the fashion girlies): Even more of the extravagant, over the top, whimsigoth, medieval-inspired vibe. Many layers, many necklaces, perhaps a slight resurgence of 'wearing it wrong', in the sense that I can see people making outfits out of two skirts, a dress, three belts, and five scarves all worn in unconventional ways. But the other thing I'm thinking -- which is more of a shot in the dark -- is a kind of minimalist punk. Dark and rebellious, but in less of a spikes and plaid way and in more of an evil sorcerer in the woods, many layers of black with slight tattering, intentionally ugly makeup, intentionally angry vibes way. They're mean, but they're *right*, ya know? I really just think we're all gonna go hard into wearing fairy tale cosplay, it seems :P

[@nefertitimontoya]

I 100% agree with wearing it wrong!! People are going to find new uses for old garments and get creative with it. A shirt will no longer be just a shirt. It'll be so postmodern

[@k1tkat-kate]

I for one appreciate this break today, thanks Kathleen!

[@jessicavanik6040]

As a chainmail artist I really hope “knight core” / Medieval Revival goes hard in 2025. I love to ware armor as accessories but generally that gets reserved for Ren fest cause I’m too much of a coward to prance around in public wearing pauldrons. 😂

[@mellowyellow5154]

AHH! I just love all your clothes and style. You inspire me so much to be myself! I love your videos!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw that's what i love to hear! thank you!

[@huckabayda]

Editing Kathleen is right about knots! I noticed knots often on the runways of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2024, thanks to Asian queens (Nyphia Wind + Plastique Tiara) celebrating traditional knots of the East Asian world.

[@crowdedsubwaystation]

Also, I feel like a lot of knots popped up as closures for shirts and vests.

[@welpppppppppppppp]

i really hope frog closures and mandarin collars continue to get made by more mainstream brands!! i see them come out around lny but they're my favourite and i want them for every season 🙏

[@acetabulumshots]

I'm not sure if others are feeling it, but I'm feeling ready for that 1990s true grunge and anarchist kind of alt-fashion.

[@interface5389]

I think this is an safe one but I’m expecting more visible mending and particularly more frankensteined second hand clothing, I’m talking like mixed fabrics, textures stitched together in either a patchwork or blocky manner with the aim for contrast and textural interest. I think this could easily be a way to allude to more causal wear from the 80’s and 90’s with lots of button ups, blouses or suits being utilized while being physically remixed in a way that feels both borrowed and fresh. Another thing I can see making it big is flared, oversized, or otherwise ill fitted outfits, tactical or cyberpunkesqe pieces intended to really disrupt a persons natural silhouette, all in a similar vein as the anti-facial recognition makeup as others have predicted. I think these two can go together especially in the case of converting items intended to be worn from one way to another such as cargo pants being altered to function as sleeves ect. Personally I’m coming from a very exasperated and fed up with capitalism and overconsumption perspective as my predictions emphasize both secondhand and altered items to reclaim that frustration as a form of expression, while still trying provide a vibe of semi hopeful endurance.

[@wavylavender]

I feel like I’m starting to see swans everywhere on clothing and more generally “dainty” animals like deer and lambs, and also 60s mod styling which Im eating up atm. I also feel like we’re going to see a lot of really grungy weird colors trending, especially with mocha mousse being color of the year

[@maddiekerper486]

i have an acquaintance ? that i’ve seen at local concerts and she wears a staple artistic makeup look on her forehead she’s the coolest person ever

[@crispianna]

Love all your content Kathleen but I especially love your trend content because you really have a unique perspective and honestly I believe a sixth sense for this stuff. I tracked a lot of your predictions for last year on my What’s Next 2024 Pinterest board, and boy was the met gala a feast of 3D florals, Schiaparelli-esque metals and another I was tracking which was embellishment. Even tho we didn’t see the card shark come to fruition in quite the way you predicted, I did notice an uptick in playing card motifs, especially in the gold charm world. both new and vintage cold playing card charms were hot tickets this year! Feel like I’m still stewing on 2025, but I have seen a few things crop up that are giving Slavic folk dress vibes? I feel like this links in to the return of boho everyone is on about (and tbh I could not be less interested in the Chloe runway version, but a Slavic take on it?? That seems pretty cool to me). And this was driven home for me more when I saw nosferatu, and while all the costumes are amazing front to back, the costumes of the villagers in Transylvania and some of count orlocks hats are VIBESSSSSSSSSS. Also like a Slavic boxy fur hat maybe is the evolution of the Cawley studio shearling hat that has been so viral and now duped into obvlion? That’s my thought that’s bubbling lol

[@Marianne_C_O_Art]

Not sure if it's just me but I'm seeing a trend of...no trend. The folks around me of all ages are just wearing what they want. Mixing styles, wearing old favourites with newer pieces in colours that make them happy and in themes of comfort and nostalgia. I know I am and i know it's correlated with what I see going on worldwide. Is comfort-core a thing? Lol

[@lauramayer4896]

I love you too, and I am so happy for your 100K subscribers, but of course not surprised! Your charming, quirky cheerfulness is pretty irresistible. 2024 was definitely a mixed bag for me, skewing more toward 👎than 👍, but finding your channel in September was definitely a bright spot!❤

[@nerdsince9997]

This could just be me, but I’m hoping some trends next yr are more visible mending, anti-men makeup/styling, more chunky and bubble-like silver jewelry, full send on medieval armor sets and honestly spooky vibes all around. Idk if it’s bc I watched Nosferatu, but my style has been hardcore spooky lately and I just feel comfortable in that as the Horrors persist, and hope to see a rise in the spooky/emo/goth/witchy fashion!

[@WestCoastThrifter]

CONGRATS KATHLEEN well deserved, I love watching your videos!🥰🥰🥰

[@angelinanichols4282]

When I saw Taylor's dress at the LIB reunion I immediately thought of your video! Maybe she's a viewer. Random prediction: visible mending. I think we'll start to see a form of green washing where brands manufacture clothes to look like they've been hand-darned or patched.

[@carolcopley3639]

As always, so very happy to see your post. I’m looking forward to what happens in 2025.

[@chloelea9974]

Medieval, boho, flowy/oversized/shapeless outfits, especially dresses. Also “humble handmade” looking clothing, think little house on the prairie and simple outfits/practical patchwork.

[@madddoll8685]

Congrats on 100K!!! WoooHOOOO. Well deserved, love your channel so much! 2025: I predict masks coming back; protest-chic. Bedazzled and brimming with fury. Really dark eye makeup will make a come back, not necessarily in a grunge-y way...more in a "my body, my rage" type of way.

[@christinamann3640]

I agree with this! I was thinking of T-shirt graphics having a Bansky style of messages. Even secret messages inspired by the Underground Railroad, which might be a real thing to rescue certain people from places with punitive laws.

[@taviarenee793]

Patchwork type stuff for sure. A lot of monochromatic looks of all colors but idk why I'm feeling 💙 personally I'll be leaning into bringing back flowy loose oversized clothing again can't stand the tight Y2K surge going on as a plus sized girly but 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nefertitimontoya]

Reading the comments, here is my updated predictions: -medieval revival -"wearing it wrong" (as another commenter put it)/atypical layering/using what you have in unique ways -utilitarian embellishments (belts, harnesses, pockets, metal) -neutral colours (either pastel or dark) -structured or unique silhouettes -celestial themes (idk maybe a new piece of media will come out, we're hungry for a new symbol)

[@sarahpeecher4595]

for 2025, i'm thinking a lot of combining sport-wear or workwear (so there's still hope for boxing lol) with other recent trends (coquette, ballet, even knits & crochets?). i've seen some stuff like this on runways, especially ready to wear, but also people may be less likely to buy new things in coming years and will experiment more with combining what they already have from recent years in ways that juxtapose them and make them exciting and new again.

[@DirtyLittleRats]

I agree I think “buy nothing years” are gunna influence there to be a ton more reusing, I also think sewing among the youths will skyrocket, it’s such a freeing power

[@avakugler979]

i am really hoping we will see even more protest clothes. i know chnge has a ton of this, but i could see more brands, even designer brands taking to that with what is going on in the world currently.

[@DirtyLittleRats]

I would love to see more feminist t-shirts mixed with humor or animals and sparkles

[@sarbearr4]

I clicked so fast❤ thank you for sharing your slab of wood with me

[@KathleenIllustrated]

it's all yours bby

[@bottledutopia]

In response to the intro: vibes are good! we love your vibes.

[@harpwilk]

I know nothing of what’s trending but I, personally, would love to see the like “classic” styles+ exaggerated 80s silhouettes come back around. OH AND ALSO, iconography wise, candlesticks are gonna be huge

[@veerleroest2869]

Hi kathleen, i just want to say you are my favorite youtuber! Congrats with all your subscribers who see, just like me, what a sweet creative funny person you are! I love your videos ❤

[@woefulwatch]

Hey Kathleen, I think you should do an outfit (thrifted, of course) inspired by kashi 🐶 he’s such a sweet boy and I would love to see a video all about him 🥹

[@cassandralyris4918]

I'm gonna sit here and try to manifest: more sailor collars (there's many styles), flounce tops, bishop sleeves, kimono/renaissance sleeves, and bigger hair, maybe not 80's big, but no more flat ironing.

[@kittykatmeowers3392]

With American tariffs on anything coming in from China and thus Temu and fast fashion going up in price upto 40%, I think there will be a shock and awe peroid of jeans and t-shirts and total simplicity in the masses. The reliance on trends is going freak people out when they can't get their fix. I think visiting and raiding family members closets will be big.

[@DDoubleKK]

Congrats on 100k!! House tour? 👀

[@kirstinmlf]

Maybe this is just my social media and the people I follow, but I've been seeing a lot of knight inspired looks lately. I can't escape that photo of Zendaya as Joan of Arc at the met gala on pinterest.

[@SusannahPerri]

Thank you for this excellent video which also keeps me focused on the positive. ❤

[@nefertitimontoya]

This year I'm thinking some sort of functional evolution -- like mainstreamification of Nightcore, utility wear, athleisure but for specific sports. I think added belts, pockets, harnesses, and other details are ready for a comeup as a tiptoe out of minimalism. This kinda aligns with knightcore too. Also layering in unconventional ways -- tank tops on top of button ups, scarves on skirts, that sort of thing. I'm really hoping for more objects as clothes like waffle berets or egg bags or cloud sweaters. Like unique statement clothes that feel cartoonish and surreal I also hope we're going to see some vintage creep in, like 30s/40s. Businessy, refined, sustainable fabrics and timeless structured pieces

[@violetbyers6818]

I feel like as some people have touched on, being "anti trends" has been a trend and I'm sure it will continue. Maybe going off of that, obviously upcycling and repairing has always and will always be a thing but maybe we'll end up seeing more of that. With our ~horrible economy~ and more and more people trying to do no-buys and low-buys I imagine there will be more people working with what they have and refreshing items, even if its just fresh cut off shorts. So in that way I'm thinking rugged worn looks may be more prevalent. Hobo chic ? Is that bad? I think endearing. I'm going for hobo chic

[@izzysiedman5455]

As an evolution of the minimalism we started to see in 2024 I think we're gonna see more clothing with interesting structure--big shoulder, weird sleeves, inverse necklines, etc--but in mostly solid, classic colors. Also thinking the skinny scarf will be back for the year. Alternative to the wrestling boot, maybe a rainboot as a more frequent fashion item.

[@plowmanroomefamily1611]

Thank goodness for Kathleen! 🎉

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

Just what is needed today. Thanks!

[@julierosemodelproductions]

my 2025 trend prediction is subliminal and/or obviously loud political themes in our clothing (my fave tshirt atm has a graphic with a lady holding a sign: "girls just wanna have fun-damental rights")

[@catherineh8260]

I bought a lovely pair of metallic copper loafers in the autumn.

[@MLiesel]

YAY! New Kathleen Illustrated video! So excited!

[@jay-rene992]

Okay yr eye look during the sponsor-tutorial?! Makeup tutorials in general? Even though that's not your focus I feel like you could do some cool weird thingz

[@wrennox72]

Can't say I follow trends (though definitely subconsciously influenced by them, finally really enjoying bows and bag charms), but definitely interested in what trends say about the larger society that we live in and the collective psyche of our current world

[@elsathefool]

I have two trend predictions for this year. The first is that medieval/ renaissance fashion is going to keeping getting more popular especially in the realm of 1960s/70s fashion. A few specific ideas within this is chain mail, colorful tights, leather laced flats, Juliet caps, and bronze electroplated jewelry. My second prediction this year is the rise of "Little Guys" or "Creatures" in things like key chains, hats, patches, painted clothes, ect. We are already seeing it with the trend of Labubu and other blind boxes. Its been a trend in j-fashion and cosplay culture for awhile so I think it could make into into main culture fashion. Maybe from the music industry. Personally, I would be curious to see the combination of medieval and "creatures" into something fun and wacky.

[@DirtyLittleRats]

O my gosh!!! I would love to see more little guys around!!

[@dwan_herself]

Interestingly, I'm seeing some iterations of military coat liners in the same vein as the one you picked up in Japan. It's cold here in Houston so everyone is too bundled up to see a lot of style, per se. Lots of pastels, tho, like minty fresh colors (think Tobe Nwigwe). Barrel pants and utilitarian pants - lots of pockets. Practical, cozy, fuzzy. It'll be interesting to see what the trends end up being this year....

[@MelliaBoomBot]

woop ! 100k!

[@DirtyLittleRats]

I didn’t know u had the blue eyed stare (in a good way) they are beautiful!! The eyeliner highlights them so well!

[@paperboundprotagonist]

I recently watched an older video of yours where you promised a house tour when you hit 100K subscribers. 🤗

[@11orana]

My grandmother, who worked at a cotton mill in Texas, enjoyed watching Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling performances. I can see that style as a trend in 2025.They wear wrestling boots too.

[@ln_wri]

i think whimsigoth is going to remain big and i think we're going to see some different iterations of it--a lot of people have talked about the sort of whimsigoth-->medievalesque pipeline (coinciding nicely with the rise of chainmail) but i think we might also see some people start to shift towards some like, gothic heroine inspired looks with like long flowing hair, white nightgown-esque dresses etc. (which i think also coincides with the continued popularity of coquette) stemming from movies like nosferatu

[@kaseyashton7715]

Thank You! Clambers awkwardly onto the door. Bring on the apocalypse 😖

[@davinamcm6435]

Congrats 100k👑💐

[@Gaviotatube]

Medieval knight fashion was definitely not something I foresaw for fashion in 2024 but was my favorite trend. I’m going to make a crazy baseless prediction that plastic fashion (as in clear vinyl fabric) will have a moment in 2025.

[@CRVYGRL]

Ooo I can't wait to see what you got right and what's coming

[@katej3437]

Maybe it’s just that I work in mental health but I see a lot of comfort wear in our future-emotional support hoodies, fuzzy socks even when it’s too warm outside, that carrying your bed with you vibe. At least that’s my aspiration.

[@DrMossRadio]

My fashion prediction for the upcoming year is something thats a subversion on some sort of authoritative body's uniform. Im thinking a take on the military wear of the y2k years like with big chunky camo cargo pants or even a subversion of corporate wear kinda like how the band Green Day did it with neckties back then. I just really think the divisiveness we are already feeling is going to crop up in our fashion in SOME kind of way.. Ooh even like a cyberpunk dystopian tech wear situation is something I could really see happening (which Im kinda hoping for lol)

[@crowdedsubwaystation]

I feel like I actually saw a lot of fake body shirts this year such as Hesta's alien body t shirt. I definitely saw several people wearing fake body shirts, but they were probably thrifted.

[@dodgethis_]

New video!! 🥳I was going through your archives today, needed some company 😁

[@FriedM_egg]

I think the makeup more as art could have been if we had moved in a better direction, but we've been moving backwards haha 😅

[@Syzygy629]

Hear ye hear ye, I predict Frankenstein clothing like in South Korea where they take two shirts cut them in half and join them together to create a new shirt

[@christinamann3640]

That could be used as part of an artistic statement.

[@abbynisley7407]

lovely video!! cant believe you basically predicted oysters, mob wife, and brat summer 🤣💕 also... when are the next batch of thrift gremlin shirts coming? i want to get my hands on one!!

[@KristinMoran]

Green + Pink from Wicked has been all over the place. So maybe people went from Brat to Witch.

[@moonfairyalana]

In 2025, I feel like there will be EVEN more emphasis on the women-gaze! Thinking flowy skirts, printed flowers on tops/socks/scarves, bold lip colours and barely there skin makeup, monochromatic coloured outfits, and colours like light pink and butter yellow to spotlight. I've been noticing black nails making a comeback, so people becoming more comfortable with all black nails, eyeshadow, and lipstick! A very feminine approach reminiscent of the early 2000's pop culture we, Gen Z & Millennials, grew up with

[@AJ-cu4zj]

I'm waiting till there's no more snow on the ground then I'm breaking out the blue and yellow sailor dress I found for cheap at the end of the year, my sparkly fishnets, and my clamshell earrings and bracelet and really embrace my briny side. Maybe all at once, perhaps?

[@calicoGrotto]

pom poms are gonna come back this year for sure this time. surely if i keep saying it i will be right eventually. but fr i think they could be a logical successor to bows & roses even if it might take a few years to get there lol

[@christinamann3640]

I predict that pom poms will be a part of a larger childhood nostalgia trend in the second half of 2025

[@katef1384]

LOVE U

[@Burntplastics]

I think grunge is going to make a huge comeback and in various renditions incorporating knight aesthetics too. Red will also pop off and snails will be trendy along with swirl motifs ❤ ps proud of you and congrats on the milestone🎉

[@samsquantch42]

not really a prediction but I personally live in fear of the return of low rise jeans

[@nightcrawler7_]

I definitely see a move towards “modesty” for lack of a better term. Not necessarily modesty for modesty’s/religions sake, more so the type of maximalism that’s colorful tights, layered skirts, open, flowy silhouettes blouse buttoned to the TOP! Very much so goes with midevialcore and boho to me

[@aliciakelly925]

You are my slab of wood for sure!

[@mikelobrien]

I think we'll see more simple dressing, reversion back to the "Jeans and Tee" base layers and accessories will be casual shoes and eye-catching earrings with dainty chain and small charms necklaces. I hope the French tuck will be abandoned in 2025 and a less sloppy aesthetic will replace it. Nice quality leather belt perhaps?

[@jesspaul8120]

I totally think bugs will be a trend!! Bug jewelry, prints, key chains, maybe shoe accessories? I foresee many bugs

[@kaykerns2287]

Bug broaches

[@andreamarguerite]

i'm very smooth brain/no (trend) thoughts due to snow shoveling rn but: girrrrrl that magenta lighting 🔥

[@strawberrysultan]

I’m so glad this dropped during my study break 🤩

[@DirtyLittleRats]

Italian plumber shade 😂😂 I love that

[@wakefulwitch]

Ooooo jamming with that add break thicc eyeliner

[@Ferncovered]

I don;t know about anyone else but I'm deep in the Medieval Fantasy/Hobbitcore fashion world and I really don't see at least my little corner changing! I wonder if this revert back to fantasy will be a trend more mainstream this year as.. well.. the horrors make us have to stay whimsical!

[@kalka1l]

Thrifting is a bit like finding pieces of driftwood and using them to buoy our bodies & spirits. If we assemble a flotilla of thrift we can craft our own halcyon.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

how dare you share such a hopeful & powerful insight!!!!! (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) grab each other's raft, everyone!!!!

[@mastercobweb]

I think this year we're going to be looking back at protest movements of the past, not just for organising tactics but for style inspiration, whether that's black turtlenecks and leather trench coats or deconstructed punk items with a political message. I think retro protest tees like the Gay's The Word "Pits and Perverts" shirt or any of the Act Up designs will show up in styling. Maybe even some of those pink knitted cat ear hats from the last time will find their way out of the attic.

[@trashgod7095]

I would love love love an trompe l'oeil style thrift flip!

[@CYOTFS]

Absolute yes to you making a painted JPG dupe! 🔥🔥🔥
