Spring is finally here – and with it not only magnolias and pastels, but also the inevitable fashion inventory. While certain trends are experiencing their renaissance, there are also those that are time to be put in the fashion archives – forever. And before you start feeling guilty about investing in the “it” piece two seasons ago, let me tell you: every fashion connoisseur has fallen into the trap at some point.
That's why we're here - with a list of ten fashionable pieces of clothing that are in fashion this season. spring/summer 2025 they simply have no place on the fashion scene anymore. But don't worry, we're not just going to deny it. We're also telling you what to replace them with to look modern, elegant and – most importantly – effortlessly chic.
“Out” and “in” fashion clothes for spring/summer 2025
1. Overly Ripped Jeans: When “Rebellion” Becomes Kitsch
While distressed denim offers a light, urban aesthetic, the era of over-worn denim—that is, ripped jeans that stretch from ankle to thigh—is officially over. Why? Because they quickly become a caricature of themselves. Instead, opt for jeans with subtle wear or knee detailing—a subtle approach that feels modern without being overly fussy.
Replace it with straight cut jeans with a light wash or tailored jeans that look structured but still comfortable. Add ballerinas or loafers and you're in Parisian chic.
2. Total transparency: Subtle hints are enough
The “sheer everything” trend may be glamorous on Instagram and the runways, but it’s more mysterious in real life. Completely sheer tulle ensembles require strategically chosen undergarments and a ton of confidence—which means they go beyond everyday functionality.
Replace it with a blouse with delicately sheer sleeves or a layered skirt that creates a mysterious silhouette. This way you stay on trend while maintaining sophistication. This is the kind of modern elegance that the French Riviera loves.
3. Utility Jackets: Functional Confusion
There's nothing wrong with pockets. But when there are more than cards in your wallet, and every seam screams "military surplus," it's time for a fashion makeover. Utility jackets look too heavy and quickly age the entire look.
Replace with A sleek trench coat in neutral tones or a lightly structured blazer with a soft shoulder line. A subtle layered look over silk blouses or thin knits is what you need to transition into spring.
4. Mini handbags: cute but impractical
A bag that holds exactly zero is now more of a fashion faux pas than a statement. We admired micro bags for a “moment,” but the modern woman has more to do than space in her bag.
Replace it for larger, structured “carry-it-all” bags – they look luxurious but are also practical. Even better? Leather models with minimalist hardware that complement any combination.
5. Neon Explosions: Lights Aren't Always Stylish
Neon colors have taken over the streets, but too much neon from head to toe is an instant ticket to fashion overkill. Instead, bet on colorful accessories.
Replace with Bright accessories – shoes, a bag or jewelry – that make a statement without overwhelming you. Or, if you dare, combine neon with beige – a winning combination.
6. Oversized jackets: a poor compromise between elegance and comfort
While baggy jackets have long been a symbol of relaxed style, there's no reason to dwell on the past. The 2025 season is all about a different story – the tailored jacket. It's about pieces that hug the body in all the right places, but still breathe with you.
Replace loose jackets with jackets with a structured waist, a slight A-line or wrap silhouettes in natural materials. These pieces accentuate the feminine silhouette without restricting movement – elegance that works all day (and night).
7. Cargo pants: too many pockets for too many worries
Cargo pants may be making a comeback, but they're no longer synonymous with utilitarian elegance. New cuts favor clean lines and minimalism.
Replace it with wide-leg, high-waisted trousers made from lightweight materials like linen or silk. They're comfortable yet structured - perfect for a city vibe or a spring dinner.
8. Stiletto heels: pain is no longer in fashion
Pain for beauty? No, thank you. 2025 is the year of comfort with elegance. High heels, which are unbearable after just an hour, have been replaced by more thoughtful designs.
Replace with block heels, platforms or elegant loafers – proof that you can look great even without sacrificing style.
9. Low-waisted pants: a trend that slipped
Yes, low-waisted jeans have made a comeback on the catwalks, but most stylists agree that this trend works better on Instagram nostalgia than in real life. Low-waisted jeans visually shorten the legs and rarely suit most body types.
Replace it with jeans or trousers with a mid-to-high waist, which elongates the silhouette, creates an elegant profile and allows for numerous combinations with blouses, shirts or tops. The key to a chic look is proportion – and a high waist gives it to you effortlessly.
10. Fluffy Wings: A Youth Drama That Gets Old Quickly
A young, wild and dramatic silhouette may work on the runway, but in real life, puffy shapes quickly create a disproportionate look.
Replace it with a midi skirt with subtle ruffles or a longer balloon skirt. Keep the volume, with chic control.
Fashion is a game, but also a mirror of the times. In 2025, elegance is associated with thoughtfulness, comfort and refined style. It's not about blindly following trends, but interpreting them through your own style. And sometimes that means saying goodbye to those pieces that were once a "must-have" but are now "better-not".
