Depop forecasts young gens embracing a resurgence of timeless, adaptable fashion this year. In its 2025 Fashion Trends Report, the brand predicts that instead of simply chasing after trends, young people will focus on personal discovery and self-expression in their fashion choices this year. While they acknowledge that the fast-paced trend cycle is not going away, they see people adapting their approach to style more through clean neutrals in their base outfit. This shows a trend toward “fundamental dressing,” which focuses on buying durable and versatile clothing that strictly reflects one’s personal style, rather than quick trends. It also reflects young consumers’ continued thinking about sustainability and their desire for authentic, high-quality fashion. All within their budget, of course—which is why we know they appreciate shopping secondhand deals. (Depop newsroom)
