If 2023-2024 was about quiet luxury, then 2025 just walked in wearing three chains, oversized sunglasses, and a belt buckle bigger than your future. Subtlety? Cute. But this year, it’s all about statement accessories that do the talking for you.
What’s Taking Over?
From the streets of Milan to the neon-lit corners of Tokyo, big, bold, and slightly chaotic accessories are the name of the game. Think chunky rings, layered chains, tinted 90s sunglasses, bejeweled belts, and of course, watches that don’t just tell time but demand attention.
And before you ask, no, this isn’t about throwing on random shiny things. It’s controlled chaos, a balance between personal expression and brave flexing.
Why Now?
Blame it on the rebellion against the “clean girl” aesthetic or the resurgence of Y2K-meets-cyberpunk energy, but fashion in 2025 is turning up the volume. High fashion runways are packed with stacked bangles, oversized ear cuffs, and wristwear that doubles as conversation starters. Streetwear? Following suit, layering industrial-inspired pieces with vintage throwbacks and futuristic elements like É-CLAT series bold and colourful design..
The Wrist Flex
Let’s be real, nothing pulls a fit together like the right fashionable timepiece. Watches aren’t just about checking the time (we all have phones for that), they’re the finishing touch, the unexpected twist, the piece that makes people take a second look. Even if it’s a NEON statement piece, a sleek monochrome design, or something that gives “I know what I’m doing” energy, your wristwear should be doing the most.
Final Take?
Minimalism had its moment. Now, it’s time to layer up, accessorize loud, and let your style say everything before you even open your mouth.
Welcome to the year of unapologetic accessorizing. Keep up.
