9 'Outdated' Fashion Trends That Vogue Editors Still Adore in 2025

Back in January, Timothée Chalamet was spotted in New York City wearing a nostalgic fashion statement—an Alexander McQueen skull scarf. A signature piece from the late 2000s indie sleaze era, this edgy accessory was once a must-have for It-girls like Lindsay Lohan and Mary-Kate Olsen. While many consider it a relic of the past, Chalamet’s choice proves that fashion is cyclical—who says a trend ever really goes out of style? With the right styling, even the most overlooked pieces can feel fresh again.undefinedundefinedThis got us thinking: Does staying trendy even matter? While new silhouettes and fresh designs bring excitement, personal style should be about authenticity.

If you still love your McQueen scarf from over a decade ago, why not wear it in 2025? Inspired by this mindset, Vogue conducted a staff poll to find out which so-called “outdated” fashion items our editors refuse to part with. The results? Everything from Ugg boots (a Y2K staple) to skinny jeans made the list. Whether you love or loathe these styles isn’t the point—the real takeaway is that fashion should be about self-expression, not fleeting trends.undefinedundefinedSo, if you have a favorite piece that the fashion world has deemed passé, wear it with confidence. After all, embracing what you love is always in style.
