Rococo Revival
Rococo fashion is making a grand entrance into 2025. If you’ve been watching the trends as closely as we have, you might notice that the Rococo revival has a lot in common with coquette and balletcore. And you’re right! These previous trends explored the world of delicate and intentional feminine touches, and Rococo brings a touch of gold along for the ride.

This mani trend is all about your nails as art.
