2025 In’s and Out’s
Welcome to my very first podcast for Penelope Styling! I’m kicking off the year with one of my favourite fashion topics… TRENDS. But don’t get hot flushes thinking you’ll need to invest in a whole new wardrobe! These tips are to get your mind ticking about ways to give your wardrobe a little ‘refresh’ for the year, not an overhaul. My super power is converting new season catwalk shows and designer fashion into simple, relatable tips. First up let’s talk what’s out for 2025…OUTSBubble Skirts: Came in strong for Spring in cute dresses and skirts, but not all brands jumped on it as it’s harder to style. A micro-trend that’s already fading out!Crochet: So fab in dresses and matching sets - but works better in warmer months. If you own it, wear it, enjoy it! But if you haven’t bought it yet, hold off for new textures…Pastels: Lemon and butter shades came in for Spring like rays of sunshine in cottton and linen fabrics. These will be back with pastels for next Spring, but watch for the darker hues and heavier fabrics this Autumn!IN’sSheer and Lace: We saw so much sheer last year in tops, dresses and skirts - and it’s here to stay, with the intro of lace! Stick to darker shades, and add a blazer for outfit perfection.Suede: Is coming in hot for texture this Autumn Winter! I’d recommend a jacket, bag or shoes. And use a spray protector to keep it in best condition! Tap to shop »Mocha: Is Pantone’s colour for 2025 - from lighter shades of latte and almond, to rich dark choc tones. I’m loving this trend… choc is the new black!! Tap to shop »Burgundy: Another colour that is rich and delicious in suede, leather, knits and silks. Works beautifully back with all the dark shades of choc, navy, charcoal and black.Boho to Preppy: Totally opposite trends but both on the horizon! Boho style leans into hankerchief skirts and dresses back with boots, suede jackets, and lace details. Preppy is all about boat shoes, polo collars, wide stripes and classic jeans.SHOP THE LOOKScroll down for some of my top picks for some of these trends coming in … And make sure you subscribe to get more of my helpful tips for each texture, colour and theme as they roll in strong for the year!How pretty is this lace shirt! Buy it and wear it now with white, denim, and black. If I was going to buy one lace item… it would be a lace black dress. And this one by a well known Australian brand is currently on sale 30% off! LOVE…. Wear it now with shoulders out and strappy shoes, or layer it for cooler weather with an oversized black blazer and flats.Obsessed with this choc suede bomber jacket, it is SO luxe… I’m tipping this sells out soon! OH so luxe and versatile - a slouchy, relaxed suede bag. LOVE! Tick the burgundy colour, along with suede too! With these gorgeous dark red ballet flats, with mary-jane strap detail… This is a public episode.
