Fashion Trends Highlight Statement Socks, White Skirts

Fashion trends for 2025 show a resurgence in nostalgic and playful elements, with statement socks and white skirts taking center stage. Miuccia Prada has popularized socks as a unique accessory, while brands like Marni and Louis Vuitton are incorporating this trend in their latest collections. White skirts are being hailed as the versatile 'little black dress' of summer, adaptable for various styles with the right accessories. There is also a trend towards daring fashion choices, such as low-cut trousers reminiscent of McQueen's 'bumsters,' and layered skirts for a dramatic yet wearable look. Slip dresses are making a comeback, with designers like Ulla Johnson and Dries Van Noten offering styles suitable for both day and night. Households are spending about $1,945 annually on apparel, although this varies by lifestyle.
