In 2025, Vogue editors continue to like these nine "outdated" fashion trends.
Personal style endures forever, although fashion trends change over time. Something should not be retired just because it is not on the newest runway, especially if you adore it! The famous Alexander McQueen skull scarf, a mainstay of the late 2000s indie sleaze era, was just brought back to life by Timothy Calumet. It made us question why we should follow fashion trends while choosing our attire.
To find out which supposedly "outdated" fashion items Vogue editors still love, we polled them. These are the classic favorites people can not live without, from Ugg boots to skinny jeans.
1. Crocs
"They can never really go out because they were never really in style!" — Culture Writer Emma Specter
From paint-stained classics to jeweled collaborations, Crocs are a comfort-first need that many people can not live without.
2. Sneakers for Common Projects
"Even though white sneakers are not as popular as they once were, I will always have my Common Projects Bubal sneakers." — US Fashion News Director Mark Holgate
A simple, minimalist sneaker is always in trend, even if the craze wanes.
3. The Skull Scarf by Alexander McQueen
"After witnessing 'Savage Beauty' at the Met in 2011, I purchased mine. It nevertheless gives any ensemble the ideal gritty touch. — Senior Fashion & Style Writer Christian Allaire
Especially now that Calame is bringing it back, it is a stylish throwback that yet feels effortlessly cool.
4. Slim-fitting jeans
"I never imagined wearing skinny jeans again, but how about wearing them with a big blazer? They function remarkably well. José Criales-Unzueta, Editor of Fashion News
Because of the cyclical nature of fashion, thin jeans might be making a comeback.
5. Scholler PS1 Bags by Preens
"I finally found the PS1 bag of my dreams after years of searching. Whether it is "back" or not, it is still a classic. — Senior Fashion News Editor Laika Garcia-Furtado
A beloved vintage It-bag might still be the ideal contemporary accessory.
6. Low-Rise Jeans
"I am staying with them once I finally discovered that a lower-rise silhouette actually suited my figure better!" — Senior Market Editor Madeline Fass
Low-rise pants provide a new, relaxed fit, and high-waisted pants are not for everyone.
7. Ugg boots
"I finally realized the hoopla after putting on a pair of Uggs. What is not to enjoy about being warm in the winter and cool in the summer? — Senior Beauty & Wellness Editor Margaux Amoeba
Comfortable, warm, and yet a winter necessity for many.
8. 3.1 Ashly Bags by Phillip Lim
"I still use it—it is a terrific work bag—even though I considered buying it years ago!" — Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper
A well-made, fashionable bag that still works years later.
9. Canada Goose Puffers
"This coat has kept me warm during harsh winters, regardless of whether it is trendy or not!" — Senior Lifestyle Writer Elise Taylor
Function is more important than style when it comes to enduring extremely cold weather.
Concluding remarks
The best fashion items are those that make you feel wonderful, even though trends change. Wear your Ugg boots, McQueen scarves, and thin jeans with pride if you still have them. Personal style, after all, is about what you enjoy, not what is "in."
