The 2024 fashion trends showed that accessories have the power to transform any look. Combining functionality and style, iconic pieces have emerged and, it seems, will continue to be popular in 2025. Below, we explore the most striking accessories and how to use them to update your wardrobe next year.

Utilitarian bags, maxi earrings and exaggerated necklaces on the rise

Practicality was the watchword in 2024, with utilitarian bags stealing the show. Backpacks, fanny packs and messenger bags with multiple compartments brought greater functionality, without sacrificing design. These models continue to be popular in 2025, now with bolder finishes, such as vibrant colors and experimental textures, including metallic leather and technological fabrics. For those looking for practicality in their daily lives, this trend is essential.

Oversized accessories, such as maxi earrings and necklaces, were a way to add personality to looks in 2024. In 2025, the trend remains strong, with a focus on sustainable materials, such as recycled resin and repurposed metals. These pieces, often in abstract or geometric formats, offer a dose of boldness, even in more minimalist productions.

Futuristic glasses and shoes with applications

Sunglasses have gone beyond their functional role and have become the protagonists of the look. In 2024, futuristic models, with colored lenses and architectural frames, dominated. This trend remains firm, with designers betting on even more creative formats, such as gradient lenses and translucent frames. In addition to protection, glasses remain an essential fashion item.

Shoes with applications, such as stones, embroidery and metallic elements, also add sophistication to looks in 2024. This trend promises to evolve in 2025, with designs that mix casual and glamorous. Glitter sneakers, decorated sandals and studded boots will continue to be clear choices for those who want a touch of personality.

These trends show that fashion is not just aesthetic, but also a form of expression and connection with the world around us, and 2025 promises to be even more full of authenticity and innovation for the accessories.
