Suddenly, every stylish dresser is replacing their go-to winter trends with these unexpected comeback styles.

      What do prim pillbox hats, funnel-neck jackets, and librarian-style pencil skirts share? They are all significant trends making a resurgence for winter 2025. It seems this season is drawing inspiration from past styles and incorporating specific items and fashion techniques that harken back several years, or even as far back as the 1960s silhouettes mentioned. Although this notion might imply that the upcoming winter will be filled with outdated styles better left in fashion's graveyard of old shapes, the reality is quite the opposite. Due to the fast-paced nature of the trend cycle, everything that was once old is now new again. While you may occasionally hear a comment from someone reminiscing about when your outfit was trendy the first time around, the majority will remain unaware. In fact, many of these trends haven't been seen in decades, which means modern styling methods make these elements feel fresh and innovative.

      After all, what is innovation for its own sake when there’s a wealth of history to reference for inspiration? So, what exactly are the key trends re-emerging for the winter of 2025? Typically, cold-weather months lean towards a more conservative style, as the chilly temperatures necessitate bundling up in layers, so it’s no surprise that the most prominent returning trends pay tribute to the 1980s, the decade when this style philosophy was particularly notable. This manifests in power dressing returning with boxy jackets that extend out at the shoulders and taper at the waist, straight-legged trousers that sit high on the hips, and combinations of jeans and boots that feel like they’re straight from a Jilly Cooper novel. Very reminiscent of Saint Laurent. Without further ado, scroll down to explore and shop the trends making a comeback this winter.

      5 Fashion Trends Making a Return for Winter 2025

      1. Wall Street Suiting

      **Style Notes:**

      **Shop the Trend:**

      I love how Elsa Hosk has redefined layering with this look, combining a cropped suede jacket over a longer trench coat. This is definitely something I'll be keeping in mind for the colder days ahead.

      **THE FRANKIE SHOP**

      Bleecker Woven Trench Coat

      Kendall Jenner was recently seen in a similar coat in Paris, paired with her tailored The Row Canal loafers and stylish Almina Concept triangle scarf, which naturally makes me adore it.

      A polished shirt priced lower than an average meal in London is certainly enticing.

      **COS**

      Relaxed Twill Wide-Leg Trousers

      If you ask any fashion editor for tailored trouser recommendations, they'll likely point you towards this COS pair.

      2. Cropped Trench Coats

      **Style Notes:**

      Another notable trend returning from this decade is the cropped trench coat, particularly in a bomber jacket style like the one shown. While it may not be a classic aviator fit, the flowing and relaxed structure of this trend softens the typically formal and rigid nature of the garment. Previous versions might have been worn with items like a club stripe tie, but now it can be paired with everything from casual bottoms to long lace-trimmed tops.

      **H&M**

      Oversized Cotton Jacket

      Lifting your collar can enhance an outfit without needing additional accessories.

      **ASOS DESIGN**

      Cropped Cape Formal Coat in Olive

      This khaki-colored piece, just grazing the hip bone, is the perfect length for a lighter winter coat.

      **chl**

      Oversized Short Coat in Wool

      This designer coat from Chloé will give you the feeling of having just arrived from the EuroStar, transporting you straight to Paris.

      **REISS**

      Bodie Cropped Leather Jacket

      This leather option, featuring classic British storm flap details, has a distinctly London vibe.

      3. Slouchy Boots

      **Style Notes:**

      Without belaboring the point, it's evident that this comeback trend also draws influence from the 1980s, yet it now feels much more suitable for the Cotswolds than anything we've seen recently. Especially when paired with jeans and a preppy pinstripe blazer, slouchy boots have shed their early 2000s associations and now evoke images reminiscent of royal polo matches in Windsor. It feels incredibly Rivals-like, in the best way.

      These will continue to slouch beautifully over time.

      **Free People**

      Rudy Slouch Boots

      Ideal for those who admire Kate Moss's Y2K style.

      Dalby Leather Ankle Boots

      When torn between bohemian and rock chic, Isabel Marant always has a solution.

      **Balmain**

      Leather Wedge Ankle Boots

      The curved heels and wedges are two of the year’s top shoe trends, and this Balmain style merges them beautifully.

      4. Collarless Blazers
