In 2025, bag charms are making a comeback, with more people embracing them for personal expression and exclusivity. WGSN runway data shows a 5.6% year-on-year increase in bag charms for Spring-Summer 2025, with brands like Stella McCartney, Fendi, and Versace showcasing them. For style inspiration, think of Dua Lipa and Lily Allen, who are known for adding charms to their Hermes Birkin bags. It’s all about making your accessories uniquely yours.

Noctourism combines nighttime adventures with travel, offering experiences like late-night museums, glowing beaches, and the northern lights. In 2025, solar activity will peak, making aurora displays more spectacular than in years. This growing trend ties into the travel industry’s core goal: helping people connect with the world in unique ways. Whether you’re chasing the aurora or exploring at night, it’s all about discovering something different under the stars.
In 2025, “calmcations” - holidays focused on relaxation - are still trending. With noise pollution, especially from traffic, being a major health concern in big cities, people are seeking peaceful escapes. Havila Voyages offers “quiet escapes” along Norway’s coast, complete with noise-monitoring stations and live comparisons to cities like New York and London. Unplugged provides tech-free cabins across the UK and Europe, encouraging guests to disconnect. Meanwhile, the new Majamaja retreat in Finland features off-grid cabins in the Helsinki archipelago, perfect for reconnecting with nature. It’s clear: today’s travel is all about escaping the digital world.
For 2025, designers took inspiration from the sea, bringing nautical styles to the runway, and we’ll see these looks hitting our closets soon. A classic navy and white Breton striped top or a cozy cream cable-knit sweater are simple ways to embrace the trend. Pair them with loose light-wash denim for a fresh take on the fisherman vibe. Come spring, add a bright-colored raincoat-yellow or red-into the mix. This sailor-inspired style is perfect for casual days, so keep it relaxed with sneakers and maybe a bucket hat to complete the look.

“I think the 90s are gonna make a comeback in 2025. Just imagine oversized jackets and bright neon colors - all that stuff is coming back. Fashion always goes in cycles, you know” -Acrobatic-West3645
Will ’90s icons like Oasis and Eminem shake up the travel scene like Taylor Swift did in 2024? Her Eras tour boosted global travel, and music tourism is becoming a bigger trend. Eminem and Oasis' comeback tours also tap into “nostalgia tourism.” Globetrender calls this trend “New Heydays,” with millennials now seeking experiences reminiscent of their childhood. We’re likely to see a rise in adult summer camps in the US, more Eurocamp holidays, and quirky retro pop-ups, like the 2024 Polly Pocket Airbnb. It’s a sign that people are looking for comfort and a break from the chaos of today.
Upgrade your jeans for 2025! Denim is a wardrobe staple, and this year is perfect for trying new styles. Wide-leg, barrel-leg, and baggy jeans are still going strong. If skirts are more your vibe, try a midi or maxi length for a fresh twist. And don’t shy away from denim-on-denim-because the Canadian Tuxedo is always in style.
Medical breakthroughs, healthier lifestyles, and “super-health” diets in the West will soon lead to a global celebration for the first person to reach 140 years old. But at the same time, life expectancy in regions like Asia, Africa, and the Middle East may decline. By 2015, warning signs were already showing that countries in these areas were adopting unhealthy Western habits, such as poor diets and sedentary lifestyles, which could contribute to the drop in life expectancy.
By 2025, eating became a whole new experience thanks to smart packaging. Tiny sensors built into the packaging would track your food intake, calories, and digestion, updating your health database instantly as you ate. Most packaging became “intelligent,” with bio-sensors added to everything. This opened up exciting possibilities, like real-time monitoring of how well pharmaceuticals are working, along with other innovative uses for smart packaging.

With the rise of digital life comes digital burnout, especially in dating. A 2024 Forbes Health survey shows 79% of Gen Z feels drained from online dating. The solution? A travel report from Globetrender and Amadeus highlights meeting new people in person as a top trend for 2025. Whether you’re after a holiday romance or just new friendships, it’s easier than ever to find trips that foster connection, with more group and solo travel options available. Companies like G Adventures and Flash Pack are offering solo travelers social adventure experiences to make it happen.
As Mediterranean destinations heat up with rising temperatures, more travelers are shifting from asking “where’s hot?” to “where’s not?” Climate change is playing a bigger role in travel choices. In 2024, Scott Dunn saw a 26% jump in bookings to Finland and Norway and expects even more visitors to head to northern Europe, where summer temperatures stay comfortably in the mid-20s. This shift reflects growing interest in cooler destinations as traditional holiday spots continue to face extreme heat.
With the help of small-chip technology, plants will be able to monitor themselves and send alerts when they need things like water or nutrients. This tech will boost innovation in agriculture, giving farmers real-time, predictive dashboards to track the health, growth, and maturity of vast croplands all at once. At the same time, most farm animals, like cattle, will have their own internet address and be part of a large connected monitoring system. This will make it easier to manage both crops and livestock more efficiently.
Thought leopard print was fading out? Think again! Animal prints are here to stay, as seen on the 2025 resort runways. Leopard will still be a favorite, but cow print, snakeskin, and tiger stripes are also making a statement. You can rock animal prints on anything - coats, boots, jeans, or accessories like bags and shoes. Whether you go bold with a full outfit or keep it subtle with accents, 2025 is all about embracing your wild side.
As bio-connectivity data floods the health grid, it will also be sent to personal health coaches or concierges, who will work closely with individual patients. These concierges, based in new mega-cities in Asia and Africa, will have up-to-date medical knowledge and assist patients in making informed health decisions. They’ll team up with the patient’s regular family doctor to guide them through both routine care and more complex health choices, offering support and motivation throughout the process.
