Fashion Forecast: February 2025

Hey Babes!

Welcome back to the blog! It's that time of the month again, and it's time for the Fashion Forecast. As we step into February, love is in the air- and so is a fresh wave of fashion and beauty trends. Whether you're gearing up for Valentine's Day or just looking to refresh your wardrobe, this month is all about blending nostalgic romance with edgy, modern twists. Here's everything that's hot for February:

1. Bows, Bows Everywhere

I foresee bows having a major moment. February will be an opportunity to accessorize with feminine accents. They are going to be everywhere: on handbags, hairstyles, shoes, even as pillows. I can definitely see people swapping their shoelaces with satin ribbon for a cute, girlish look. Oversized bows are going to make a big hit this month especially.

2. Burgundy, Mauve, and Pinkish hues

In honor of Valentine's Day, this month's color palette screams romance! These shades are festive, but versatile enough for everyday wear. Think burgundy velvet dresses, velvet turtlenecks, and soft pink knits. I think the rise of hyper-feminine pop (a la Sabrina Carpenter), is going to spark this trend. 

3. Motorcycle Jackets

It's big, it's black, and it's heavy. I'm talking, of course, about the moto jacket. Moto jackets are the ultimate layering piece this season. Whether oversized or cropped, they’re perfect for adding an edgy touch to feminine outfits. Customize yours with studs, pins, or patches to make it uniquely yours.

4. Your Boyfriend's Clothes, but "Girlyfied"

Who doesn't love a fun trend? Borrowing from the boys is nothing new, but this trend is all about adding a feminine touch to a masculine outfit. Take a blazer and add a chic skirt. Add pearl jewelry over a simple button up. Maybe a touch of pink here and there. 

5. Black Swan vs. White Swan (revamped)

I'm sensing a revamped version of these trending aesthetics. Balletcore is going to get a dramatic upgrade. Think delicate lace and pastels versus bold corsets and dark colors. Whether you lean into gothic romance or angelic elegance, this trend has potential to dominate February.

6. Flower Knows-Inspired Makeup

I'm not talking about the makeup itself, but rather the packaging. The whimsical, rococo-inspired style of Flower Knows will spark a new aesthetic. Soft gradients, pastel colors, and pearl details are making their way into both fashion and beauty. Think of dreamy outfits that look straight out of a fairytale.

7. Lingerie Meets Casual

Babydolls, chemises, and slip dresses. These romantic dresses are versatile and easy to style. Layer them over turtlenecks for warmth or pair with knee-high boots for a chic cold-weather look. Satin, lace, and sheer fabrics make these dresses feel extra special for February. (once again, a la Sabrina)

8. Cat-Eye Glasses

Retro cat-eye frames are back, but this time they’re bolder and more playful. Look for exaggerated shapes, colored lenses, or rhinestone embellishments to give your eyewear a trendy upgrade.

9. Berry "Stained" Makeup Looks

Inspired by the Sweet Apple Juice look, berry-stained lips and cheeks will be the go-to look this month. Tints and lip oils are going to be your best friends for achieving a natural "just-bitten" look. This is going to pair well with dewy skin and subtle looks. 

10. Mary Janes

Mary Janes are making a major comeback in all forms, from chunky platforms to dainty flats. Pair them with patterned tights, frilly socks, or a pleated mini skirt for a preppy, nostalgic look that feels fresh and fun.

11. Angelcore

This ethereal aesthetic is perfect for February’s romantic vibes. Think soft, flowing fabrics in white and pastel hues, delicate lace details, and heavenly accessories like pearl hair clips, feather accents, and dainty gold jewelry. Angelcore is all about creating a celestial, otherworldly look that’s both dreamy and serene.

This February, it’s all about blending romantic details with bold, playful twists. Whether you’re experimenting with colorful eyeliner or embracing retro Valentine’s vibes, there’s something for everyone to fall in love with this month. Which trend are you most excited to try?
