I don't know about you, but by the end of January, I'm ready to shop for the new trends for the current year. And if I can find affordable versions of the latest trends, I'm even more inclined to hit the "Place Order" button. Like many among us, some of the first retailers I visit when shopping for a new season's trends are Zara, Mango, and H&M, as they have a proven track record of dreaming up their versions of the latest trends with lightning speed.
So where to begin? Eight trends, in particular, are great early purchases, as you can feasibly start wearing them before the weather warms up. Keep scrolling to see them in person and shop the best versions of each trend from these three go-to retailers.
Ballet Pink
Soft ballet pink is quickly shaping up to be *the* It color of 2025. Order your pieces before they inevitably sell out.

Skinny Pants
Like it or not, skinny pants are back. Here are some ways we'll be wearing the trend.

Leather Bomber Jackets
The leather-jacket trend of the season is undoubtedly leather bomber jackets, and these three retailers have some excellent options.
Shop the Trend
Patent-Leather Shoes
Yes, shiny patent-leather shoes are set to be bigger than ever this year. They're an easy way to dress up even your simplest outfits.
Shop the Trend
Cream-Colored Jeans
It's time to swap your blue jeans with a fresh cream-colored pair. Anouk Yve's styling is spot-on.
Shop the Trend
East-West Bags
East-West bags have become mainstream after being made famous by Prada and Alaïa. Zara, Mango, and H&M's versions are far more wallet-friendly.
Shop the Trend
Studs
Studded accessories, shoes, jackets, and more aren't brand new, but they're more popular than ever.

Collarless Jackets
As we transition into spring and shed our coats, collarless jackets are going to pick up where they left off.
