I don't know about you, but by the end of January, I'm ready to shop for the new trends for the current year. And if I can find affordable versions of the latest trends, I'm even more inclined to hit the "Place Order" button. Like many among us, some of the first retailers I visit when shopping for a new season's trends are Zara, Mango, and H&M, as they have a proven track record of dreaming up their versions of the latest trends with lightning speed.
So where to begin? Eight trends, in particular, are great early purchases, as you can feasibly start wearing them before the weather warms up. Keep scrolling to see them in person and shop the best versions of each trend from these three go-to retailers.
Ballet Pink
Soft ballet pink is quickly shaping up to be *the* It color of 2025. Order your pieces before they inevitably sell out.
