9 K-Pop Style Trends To Look Out For In 2025
The new year is coming in hot, so in the spirit of a fresh start, let’s talk trends! Here are some of the K-pop style trends that have been spotted towards the end of 2024 that might be popping off big-time in 2025. From makeup to fashion, let’s see how these predictions pan out!
1. Chokers
It’s hard to call chokers a trend when they’ve been an in-and-out classic for the last few years, but chokers are totally trending! With fresh new styles ranging from chunky pieces to dainty little strings of gold or pearls, innovative chokers are going to be a style staple in the coming year.
2. Fur outerwear
Particularly for the winter and early spring season, fur fashion items like jackets, vests, and even hats are the perfect way to add warmth and texture to a look. Another classic that’s been done over and over again, we’re bound to see some cool new switch-ups in the K-pop fashion world this year.
3. Nude lips
While glossy, cool-toned lip colors really had their moment in 2024, in 2025 we’re headed for a much more relaxed, laid-back look. Nude lips are a great way to keep the focus on the eyes, or to cheat a lip line that you want to expand a little without getting too crazy. It’s a big change from last year’s trends!
4. Warm brown hair
While the Pantone color of the year is cinnamon’s cooler-toned sister Mocha Mousse, warm hair colors continue to stay trendy going into 2025. On both male and female idols, we’re seeing a lot of red-leaning dye jobs that do a lot to warm up the skin tone and bring some life into the winter season.
5. Warm-toned makeup
Cool tones were very on-trend for 2024. Now, we’re seeing a shift back in the warm-toned direction, with bronzy blushes, rusty eyeshadow looks, and bright peachy lips to contrast last year’s pinks and purples. Variety is never a bad thing when it comes to style, so it’s fun to see makeup trends taking another turn!
6. Curls and waves
While straight, relaxed hair has been all the rage the last few years, high-maintenance hair looks are coming back big-time. Curly-haired folks rejoice—and put the straightener away! Big, bouncy curls and voluminous waves are going to be a major trend in 2025. It’s all about texture!
7. Statement shoes
Whether it’s mega-sized sneakers or the “wrong shoe” theory, shoes are going to be the statement accessory for 2025. Don’t be afraid to try adventurous new shapes and colors—it’s a great way to make any old outfit feel new again! Plus, shoes are a practical investment you’ll always need in a look.
8. Fancy updos
Again in contrast to the laid-back hairstyles of the past few years, super intricate and fancy updos are totally on-trend! Whether it’s a style that brings all the hair up off the neck or leaves some draping down, symmetrical styles that tie the hair up on both sides are particularly trendy coming into 2025.
9. Highlighter
For the last handful of years, highlighter has somewhat fallen out of fashion in favor of naturally dewy skin and blushed cheeks. Now, highlighter is making a big comeback! Statement shades like pearly white or pink are definitely going to have their moment this year. It’s all about the bling!
