Influencers are making designer pieces "street-ready"

World-renowned fashion bloggers and influencers are pioneers of the latest trends and have brought a breath of fresh air and new inspiration to the fashion world in recent years. They attend fashion shows and take their followers behind the scenes. They share the latest trends on their accounts. Influencers have a huge impact on which looks and designs become popular among the masses.

Influencers and bloggers not only sit front row at fashion shows or are welcome guests at all major events, they are also the ones who bring designer looks to the streets and create cool street-style outfits with their help.

The latest street style trends

From cool oversized looks to coordinating knitwear sets, stylish streetwear is back this season. We'll show you how people masterfully pull these looks off and how, with a few key pieces, you can create stylish outfits that are suitable even for everyday wear.

Street Style 1: The Oversized Blazer as a Trendy Piece

When looking at the most striking street style outfits of 2025, it's impossible to ignore the oversized blazer. It's unlikely that any other item of clothing has been photographed so often this year. An oversized blazer with shoulder pads is versatile and looks stylish with any outfit. Whether you pair it with a sweatshirt, simple blue jeans, sneakers, white socks, and XXL sunglasses, or with a knit dress and boots, an oversized blazer will quickly create a modern street style.

Styling tip: A classic shirt also pairs well with an oversized blazer. Pair it with wide-leg trousers and sneakers. Pairing it with a romantic dress also creates a fun outfit. A blazer looks even more casual with jeans or comfortable joggers.

Street Style 2: Leather for a Flattering Outfit

Whether it's pants, a dress, or a coat, leather clothing is an absolute must-have this year. The durable material adds a special touch to any outfit. Paired with soft fabrics and delicate materials, you can create a beautiful fall look in a flash. The "leather on leather" trend is also creating particularly striking looks on the streets of fashion capitals this year.

Artful stylization of leather

A two-piece set consisting of a leather blazer and fitted leather pants is one of the most popular street style outfits among bloggers right now.

The leather coat is also one of this year's hottest pieces. Easy to style, it attracts attention when paired with a simple turtleneck and straight-leg jeans. A leather coat adds a grungy, trendy touch to any outfit.

If you're still looking for inspiration for a chic party outfit, here's a valuable tip: pair wide-leg leather pants with a chic bracelet. High-heeled boots and gold jewelry look especially great with them.

Street Style 3: Knitwear Outfits for a Cozy and Warm Look

For everyday street style, high-quality knitwear is essential. This cozy material is more in demand than ever this year. Regardless of the season, knitwear is always in style. Solid-color knitwear is especially popular. Light colors like white, beige, and light brown, as well as gray and black, are perfect for creating a variety of everyday outfits.

A cozy layered look

For a cozy layered knit look, pair wide-leg trousers with an oversized knit sweater in the same shade. A knit skirt, a matching sweater or cardigan, and an oversized shirt will also be on trend this winter.

Knitted dresses in everyday combinations

Knit dresses are versatile: midi-length knit dresses are especially beautiful. Calf-length dresses with high collars and slits are best paired with boots and a casual biker jacket or oversized blazer. This way, you can create a feminine yet cool street style look.

Street Style 4: Crop Tops for a Relaxed Look

While street style outfits currently trending are primarily characterized by loose and oversized fits, there's one fashion trend that contrasts with them: crop tops, which truly draw attention. The emphasis is on the midriff and hips.

Chic tops are a smart choice, especially for parties. Tops in bright colours, made of eye-catching materials like beading or sequins, or with trendy cutouts are sure to attract attention. Paired with wide-leg pants, they create a great street style look that's guaranteed to be memorable.

Street Style 5: Bralette

A bralette is a versatile piece of clothing that instantly elevates any look to a youthful, effortless style. It can be made of lace or sporty, functional fabric. This detail gained popularity thanks to a photo of Katie Holmes hailing a cab in New York's SoHo, wearing a bralette that perfectly complemented her outfit. Since then, the bralette has remained a constant trend, even becoming a key staple on the runway. And in 2025, the knitted bralette will become a must-have.

Street style straight from the catwalk

One of the most famous street style photographers, even before the word was coined, was Bill Cunningham, who for decades captured street style images for the New York Times, including, of course, attendees of New York Fashion Week. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour once half-jokingly stated that, in reality, all the fashion show attendees dressed only for Cunningham.

With Fashion Week offering a wealth of style inspiration, and interest in it having grown exponentially over the past decade, photographers now outnumber attendees waiting at the show entrance. Real-life style inspiration has become a business, with new heroes dressing for the perfect photo. New collections and trends come straight from the runway, but personal style advice, and thus new trends, can now be found primarily on the street.

Where can you find the most interesting street styles? Of course, still in the big fashion capitals New York, London, Milan, and Paris. But also at Fashion Weeks in Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Berlin, where you can discover not only new designers and brands but also the good style of the local crowd.
