It seems like only yesterday the girlies were rocking purposefully enormous styles with nary a curve in sight—and that’s because it basically was. However, with the (slow) rise of skinny jeans, slim sneakers, and revival of the prep school aesthetic, it’s clear spring 2025 will feature a lot more structure and definition mixed in with more relaxed staples.
You might be thinking, just because Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber wore cinched blazers, doesn’t mean the boxy trend is over, and that’s true. Just as skinny jeans have made their way back into the discourse, barrel jeans have shot up in popularity in contrast. You’ve still got time.
If fit-and-flare suiting wasn’t already all over the spring-summer 2024 and 2025 runways, I’d say we have a long ways to go before the trend truly takes over. However, fashion and celebrity street style is typically phase two of the sartorial trickle-down system so elegantly exposed in The Devil Wears Prada, which means we, the consumer, are next.
Most importantly, these ’80s-inspired jackets just seem to look good with everything from baggy pants to a teeny-tiny bodysuit. Plus, as proven by Jenner, you don’t have to sacrifice the comfort of an oversized blazer for the more fitted look. Like her, you can opt for tailoring that creates the illusion of a fitted waist without having to wear anything too tight to the body.
And yes, of course you should keep wearing your boxy blazers if you like them. I personally think of trends as a guide to discovering the pieces that fit my personal style, not a map of what’s acceptable to wear, leaving other items to gather dust until they make their way back into circulation (I’m still cursing myself for losing track of my Y2K-era Juicy tracksuit). In fact, you don’t necessarily need to buy a whole new blazer to achieve this look. In the words of Glamour editor Sam Reed, “get out your giant safety pins, ladies and gents. We’re cinching up.”
