In the coming year, we can expect to see bag charms become one of the hottest accessories. According to women’s fashion magazine Bazaar, people have been searching for bag charms more frequently than last year, and the word “bag charm” has risen 65% in search popularity. I never thought bag charms would become as popular as they are, but I personally love their aesthetic. I think bag charms are a cost-efficient option that allows for greater self-expression with less cost. Especially because it can cost thousands of dollars to get a custom-made bag, I will definitely be purchasing more bag charms in 2025.

Animal print is set up to dominate the fashion game in 2025. Seeing celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Elle Fanning rock the animal print in 2025 celebrity events, such as the Golden Globes, made me want to follow suit. I’ve always loved the glamour trend on TikTok in 2024, but I think animal print will be taken to the next level in 2025, jumping off the screen and onto some of the biggest runways in the world. According to fashion blog Leivip, in September 2024 there were 500,000 searches for “leopard print” and leopard print jeans sell out in stores in only 11 days.

The instant noodle craze began in 2024 and is here to stay. Instant ramen has become such a comfort meal for me, and I love seeing what new ingredients I can add to change it up. Before 2025, influencers started eating at Japanese convenience stores, which have a grab-and-go system for instant noodles. This idea is now being considered at some of the 7-Eleven stores in the United States, making it more accessible for all. This would increase sales even more, eliminating the need to sit down to enjoy a yummy, hot meal.
