I spent £25 on delivery to bag the perfect dress overnight for my birthday but people say I look like a praying mantis

Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend has shared the biggest trends from the high street.

The East/West Bag

Baguette bags have had a good run after returning from the 90s shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern fashion icons like Hailey Bieber. 

In 2025 the East/West bag, which is a similar but elongated shape with has long, thing straps that are easy to throw over your shoulders. 

They’ve been on runway models arms at nearly ever designers shows like Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta and are hitting the highstreet too. 

Powder pink

Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of the Barbie film in 2023 and didn’t appear last year, however for this year the more polished and expensive looking pale shade is taking over. 

Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise. From Prada to Erdem the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks worn head-to-toe or on its own. 

If the sugary shade is too girly for you then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. 

The shell jacket

The 80’s classic is back but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. 

We all know that for most of spring we’re likely to see rain and, let's face it, snow and your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule  jacket.

Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear with surges in ‘80s windbreakers’. 

Seen on the stylish streets of Copenhagen, to the Miu Miu catwalk - hurrah to mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair, you’re in fashion. 

The turn-up jeans

Whilst jeans shape remains the same, barrel jeans are still going to be seen everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different. 

This season transform your wide leg, baggy denims into turn ups. 

And for this look size doesn’t matter, whilst deep turn-ups pairs are a hit from jean trend-leaders, Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - as only as it's just one single fold.

Peep-toe shoe

Get your pedicures booked in sharpish as this season your toes are the main event. 

After a long hiatus the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold by brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear all with the tiny hole. 

From mules, to pumps and clogs, yes clogs will be around too, there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street, but they will have peep-toe. 

Sheer blouses

See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk but rarely filter into everyday life, until last season.

Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their SS25 catwalks and M&S even had sell out success with their black sheer pencil skirt from last season. 

Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
