Fashion's Done Being Quiet—Say Hello to Loud Luxury, 2025's Most Talked-About Trend

Say what you want about quiet luxury, but it was very, very chic in the beginning. Before the name took off and eliminated anything quiet about the minimalistic approach to shopping and dressing, there was a newness to it, and the people who lived by it (and had for decades) were doing an impressive job at displaying that loud, flashy outfits weren't the only way to display great personal style. You could dress in a hushed manner, and the real ones would know how impressive your ensemble was day after day.

Then it caught on, and suddenly, the only "in" way to dress was wearing a mix of cream, brown, gray, and black with hardly any variation in texture and very few prints, if any. Brands that had long lived in the quiet luxury space became widespread, losing the IYKYK appeal they once held. Runway collections began to blend together, and excitement for uniqueness and differentiation around the industry felt like a rarity.

Fortunately, recent months have hinted that an end to fashion being quiet is on the horizon. In fact, for a lot of people and brands, it's already here. On the spring/summer 2025 runways, brands such as Tory Burch, Schiaparelli, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, and Chanel put away their neutrals in favor of vibrant shades and bold prints. Anthony Vaccarello and Daniel Roseberry dove into opulence and grandeur for spring, playing with gold brocade and extravagant collars respectively. Matthieu Blazy got crafty with stringy headgear and shawls, while Jonathan Anderson played with mother-of-pearl for ready-to-wear. At Tory Burch, flame prints were done tastefully—as were feathers at Chanel. Finally, the runway felt fun again, spurring well-dressed people to get creative with their wardrobes and ditch their quiet luxury staples in favor of pieces with a little more spice.

Big furs, animal prints of all varieties, rich shades of blue, fuchsia, purple, orange, and red—these are just a few of the changes stylish people have made in the last few seasons as maximalist fashion items have gained favor around the industry. Personality pieces like pillbox hats, opera gloves, brooches, and ties have become the norm instead of simple hoop earrings and dainty tennis bracelets. Accessories, after all, are supposed to add excitement to an outfit and take it to new heights, and that's exactly what the fashion set's using them for in 2025.
