The next fashion trend that Zalando identified as part of the Trend Forecast 2025 is calledPlayful Proportions– and actually contains exactly what it promises. This year we have permission to play with proportions. The coat can be particularly long, the top ultra-short, the jeans ultra-wide. Different lengths and shapes give our outfits a casual touch, which we can easily take advantage of with the right styles.

We face 2025 with confidence and enthusiasm – and that is also reflected in our wardrobe.Sheer Confidencewill be seen as a hyped fashion trend in the coming year because there is simply no reason why we shouldn't present ourselves and our outfits as confidently as we and they deserve. So just break with convention when we feel like it. For example, who said men can't show skin? That we should always dress in a boring and reserved way? That's right: in 2025 no one will say that anymore.

2025 will be confident and 2025 will be powerful. As the Zalando Trend Forecast determined, it standsPower Dressingat the top of the list of the most important fashion trends this year. You can already see on the streets of New York, Paris and Milan how upscale street style is slowly becoming established. It's about loosely cut suits,and casual smart wear that appears as elegant as it is relaxed. This doesn't mean that you suddenly have to walk around in a tuxedo everywhere, but rather that you can use classic men's wardrobe and style it in a modern, confident way. Powerful, exactly.
5. Victorian Decor

The last street style that Zalando was able to identify as an upcoming fashion trend with its Trend Forecast 2025 takes us to another time.Victorian Decorplays with baroque and Victorian elements. This means, for example, narrow waists, corsets and sweeping cuts, which we now interpret in a contemporary and masculine way. And if you do it right - shop for the right items at Zalando - and combine them accordingly - for example with jeans, sneakers and cool accessories - you'll get a pretty casual street style that looks anything but old-fashioned. It's the mixture that counts.
