What's 'OUT' & what's 'IN' for 2025?
2025 is officially here and this January we’re shaking it up. No big resolutions or motivational speeches—just a fresh vibe, a little optimism, and plenty of good energy. As well as diving into affirmations and goals, team L&J decided to have some fun and get a little quirky with it. We’re kicking off the year by making our own predictions for what’s going to be hot (and what’s totally out) in 2025.
Ready to see what we think will make waves this year? Let’s go!
OUT
Fashion hauls - Specifically those of the fast fashion type, let's kick this habit to the kerb, no more huge plastic bags full of cheap clothes that will get sent straight back anyway, let's buy thoughtfully and consciously and be a bit kinder to our planet in the process.
OTT food (and plastering it all over instagram) - Super duper loaded fries? Triple decker burgers? Deep fried everything? Don't get us wrong; we love a bit of excess but this year let's leave the unnecessary gluttony behind and focus on health and whole foods.
Running!! - Ok we're being melodramatic, running is great exercise but why is everyone doing marathons now? We're exhausted just hearing about it, can we remember there's so many other forms of exercise, too? Join a football team, go for a swim, enjoy a brisk walk with friends.
Doom scrolling - We've said it before and we'll say it again, but let's try and stick to it this year. Out with the doom scroll and in with books, writing, good movies and IRL conversations.
Lip filler - It had it's time (and we didn't hate it) but this year let's go au naturel, girlies.
Podcasts - Ok maybe this is a controversial one, there's nothing wrong with podcasts per say, they serve a purpose and we have our faves. But the market is SATURATED, everyone and their nan is starting a poddy so we want to focus more on consuming different kinds of content this year. Keep the podcasts that educate and inspire going, but ditch the trash.
Leopard print - It's forever fabulous and we stand by that but 2024 was leopard's year and maybe it's time for tiger to have it's moment in the limelight.
IN
Tiger print - See previous point.
Thrifting - From Vinted to Depop to the good old high street chazza shop, this year we're doing our best to shop second hand whenever we can, for quality, for our bank balance and for the planet.
Going to the movies - Hedonism is out, drinking is out, spending more then you earn on socialising is out. We want a slower pace of life this year so that means evenings at the movie theatre and time spent watching great films with friends instead of going to the pub.
Fresh faces - Goodbye heavy makeup, full coverage foundation and eye lashes that look like spiders legs. Hello tinted moisturiser, lip balm and quick 5 minute routines.
Checking in - Last year has been a tough one that at times has weighed heavily on everyone so this year we are making sure we check in on friends and loved ones. If someone goes quiet, drop them a text. Not heard from a friend in a while, give them a call. In 2025 let's make sure no one feels alone.
Statement pieces - This year we want to pick pieces that really stand out, grab a statement watch and build an outfit around it. Choose wisely, a true statement piece will go with every look and last a lifetime.
