The 2025 fashion scene is set to embrace nostalgia, reviving iconic styles like high-waisted bikinis and minimalist sneakers.
Fashion trends often revisit past aesthetics, and in 2025, nostalgia is taking center stage in contemporary styles, according to a report by HOLA! USA. The upcoming season is characterized by a range of iconic trends from previous eras, particularly highlighted by a return to vintage swimwear and refreshed silhouettes popularized in the early 2000s.
As summer approaches, high-waisted bikinis are making a notable comeback, reminiscent of a glamorous 1940s aesthetic. This style, popularized by Hollywood icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, and Rita Hayworth, is poised to be a summer staple. Kaia Gerber, the model-turned-actress, was recently photographed wearing a baby blue high-waisted bikini while filming the comedy series ‘Overcompensating,’ which features actors Connie Britton and Adam DiMarco from the acclaimed series ‘White Lotus.’ The bikini is complemented by wedge sandals, enhancing the silhouette’s flattering and elongating effect, along with providing additional coverage.
In addition to swimwear, the sneaker trend is evolving, with a noticeable shift from chunky designs to sleeker, minimalist styles. Kaia Gerber was spotted in Los Angeles sporting a denim-on-denim outfit, consisting of black pants, a white top, and a blue jacket. This casual look was completed with a gray scarf, a blue hat, and an updated sneaker design that is increasingly favored among celebrities.
The newer sneaker styles, including those from Voile Blanche’s new SS25 collection, the classic Sambas, and Onitsuka Tiger sneakers, embody a trend toward clean lines and subtlety. This reflects a broader shift within celebrity fashion towards a ‘minimalist luxury’ style, which emphasizes high-quality materials, neutral palettes, and designs that lack prominent logos or branding. This direction highlights sophistication through quality and timeless pieces, striving for an effortlessly chic appearance.
As these trends unfold, enthusiasts of fashion may find themselves drawn into a blend of past and present styles that offer a fresh yet familiar aesthetic in the year ahead.
