TikTok-Favorite Fashion Micro-Trends We’re Taking Into 2025
Of all 2024's fleeting micro trends, these select few are staying in our 2025 wardrobes.
A whirlwind of fashion trends defined 2024. From TikTok-fueled obsessions to runway-inspired staples, minimalism had its moment, but this was the year of more is more. An endless amount of micro trends—boosted by plenty social media conversation and content—proved it. While some fizzled out as quickly as they arrived, a handful emerged as contenders for long-term style staples. From specific aesthetics to animal print, keep reading for the micro-trends from 2024 that we're bringing with us into 2025. Some trends are worth the commitment, and others belong in the archives.
The Office Siren
This year, a new character archetype emerged in fashion: the office siren. Think nerdy Bayonetta-inspired glasses (with zero prescription), a sleek tailored blazer, and a work-appropriate skirt that flirts with the boundaries of professionalism. Equal parts polished and subtly provocative, the office siren micro trend quickly gained traction, proving that office attire doesn’t have to be boring—or entirely demure. Even celebritie favorites fully embraced the office siren in 2024, with Bella Hadid being one of its biggest fans.
Part of its allure lies in its versatility. The office siren look transitions effortlessly from day to night, making it as practical as it is fashionable. As more professionals head back to in-person work environments in 2025, there’s a renewed interest in office-ready attire. The office siren blends the sharpness of traditional business wear with a fresh, modern edge.
Mob Wife
As the chill of early 2025 sets in, expect to see fashion go unapologetically extra. Think of the mob wife aesthetic that went viral on TikTok in early 2024. At its core, the mob wife aesthetic is oversized fur coats that double as blankets, statement heels, and glamorous, over-the-top hair, and makeup that exude confidence. This aesthetic strips back to the essentials of opulence and drama—perfect for turning heads on even the coldest days. Take it from maximalist queen Cardi B. Prepare to embrace this larger-than-life look—it’s bound to be the warmest and most stylish way to step into the new year.
Micro Shorts
Despite "micro" being in the name, the micro short is proving to be more than just a fleeting 2024 trend. Loved by fashion enthusiasts and luxury brands alike, this daring staple has cemented its place as a fan favorite. Perfect for balancing boldness with versatility, micro shorts can be styled for everything from casual outings to chic evening looks. From actors like Lily-Rose Depp to household-names like Jennifer Lopez, these have been everywhere. Pick your favorite pair—whether patterned, embellished, or leather—and strut into the new year with confidence (and, to stay warm, fleece-lined tights).
Sheer Dressing
Sheer dressing dominated 2024, and it’s clear this trend isn’t going anywhere in 2025. It’s more than just a fashion statement—it’s about reclaiming confidence in your body in a way that’s unapologetically sexy. From barely-there layers over lingerie to subtle sheer accents on dresses, there are endless ways to embrace the look. One celebrity who really embraced sheer dressing in 2024? Megan Fox, who sported a full naked dress and matching thong while pregnant. Whether you go bold or keep it understated, sheer dressing offers the perfect balance of allure and empowerment for 2025.
Leopard Print Everything
Leopard print had an incredible resurgence in 2024, in large thanks to the aforementioned mob wife aesthetic takeover. From accessories to tops and dresses, the bold pattern went viral across runways, social media, and everyday wardrobes. Leopard print has been a staple for decades, but 2024 saw a resurgence like never before. This versatile, statement-making print shows no signs of slowing down as we head into 2025 fashion trends—so don’t retire your favorite pieces. Prowl into 2025 with style.
