8 International Fashion Trends That Are Hot on Etsy

For anyone who has been bitten by the travel bug but can’t just pick up and go because *life*, hope is on the horizon. According to Etsy’s latest trend roundup, international fashion is on the rise. If you can’t get to it, it can come to you. Brush off that #wanderlust hashtag, and get to shopping.

1. Block Print Indian Textiles: According to Etsy, searches for “Indian fabric” and “block print” have gone up 16 percent and 11 percent since last year, respectively. The Meera Collar Dress ($60) by Moira Designs features a modern take on the traditional form of printmaking and ships from New Delhi.

2. Unlabeled Israeli Leather Goods: A lot of sleek and hand-tooled leather goods are emerging from Israel. With everything from shoes to backpacks, we’re loving the affordable price points and the craftsmanship. A perfect example is this pair of yellow booties ($103) by ShantiShoeDesigns.

3. Sculptural Spanish Jewelry: Thanks to their storied artistic and architectural culture that includes the likes of Gaudí and Miró, it’s no surprise that sculptural jewelry is all the rage in Spain. Etsy shop BayaBayaBaya specializes in these baubles, like this natural stone and gold-plated choker ($47).

4. Modern Lithuanian Linen: Searches for “linen” have jumped 20 percent from last year alone. Specializing in jumpsuits and boxy silhouettes, the shop OFFON is a go-to for this trend. We’re diggin’ their Turquoise Kimono Jumpsuit ($146).

5. Sustainable Australian Fashion: Australia is spearheading the eco-fashion trend, and they’re not compromising style for it, either. This adorable cactus print tote ($20) by enyajAustralia is made with 100 percent cotton and makes the perfect shopping companion, so you can ditch paper and plastic for good.

6. Contemporary Kenyan Baubles: A lot of Kenyan makers are mixing the old and the new in their jewelry, and Etsy buyers are wild about it. This statement beaded necklace ($16) by NamelokHandcrafts is inspired by traditional South African Zulu culture.

7. Luxe Italian Jewels: The latest craze out of Italy is accessories that evoke Old World opulence, like these hand-embroidered sequined earrings ($79) by ClassArte. It’s maximalism at its most.

8. Wooly Weaves from Uruguay: Tapping into their abundant resource of sheep, Uruguayan Etsy shop owners are churning out some gorgeous weaves and knits. This Gray Ombré Pashmina Wrap ($190) by texurable is made with handwoven Merino wool.

I knew beauty trends were officially headed in a different direction when latte makeup dominated social media last year. Everything about it gave the appearance of soft features, making this millennial appreciate the ‘no makeup’ look more and more. And while I'm working on staying up-to-date on all the latest makeup trends, it also reminded me there are outdated trends that unintentionally age people...and definitelyneedto go.

Wanna look younger and more on-trend, too? From super metallic eyeshadow to contour that dominates your face, here are the 8 outdate makeup trends to leave in the early ‘90s to mid-2000s.

The 8 outdated makeup trends you need to stop ASAP!

1. Full Coverage Foundation

KoolShooters

There was a time where wearing full-coverage foundation was all the rage. From drugstore to high-end brands, it seems like they were consistently shoved in consumers’ faces to help us achieve a ‘full beat’ without sitting in a makeup artist’s chair. Also, those of us with dark spots or hyperpigmentation may have relied on them when we were in the thick of our skincare woes.

But these days, wearing too much foundation isn’t as popular as natural and skincare makeup are prioritized. If anything, more people are interested in wearing light-to-medium coverage foundation, skin tints, or tinted moisturizers.

2. Too Much Concealer

George Milton

It wasn’t until I watched this video by makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes that I realized some of us have been too heavy-handed with our concealers. There’s no reason we should be slapping products under the thinnest parts of our face, but we didn’t know any better!

Now that you know you can still get the desired effect with a minimal amount of concealer, don’t revert back to painting your under eyes!

3. 'Baking' Your Setting Powder

Chidi Young

Before you throw away your setting powders, step away from your makeup drawer and have a sit-down chat with me. There isn’t anything wrong with applying them to your face to help ‘set’ your foundation and concealer. However, spending over 10 minutes ‘baking’ your powder (AKA letting it sit untouched) doesn’t work for everyone.

It can lead to creased makeup which can derail your look, plus it’s a pain to correct when you’re halfway through your routine!

4. Overlining Lips

Kaboompics.com

I love a good lip liner, especially if it mirrors my favorite ‘90s makeup look. But, there’s such a thing as overdoing it. The key to lining your lips is following the natural flow of them. Going out of your way to draw above and under your lips’ lines comes off as comical and exaggerated. If anything, use a lip plumping gloss to help your lips look fuller.

5. Overtweezing Your Eyebrows

I don’t even have the words for this outdated makeup look besides wanting to say “no” 20 times in a row. But, I’ll bite and say why this shouldn’t be on your 2025 beauty moodboard.

Some people naturally have thinner eyebrows which is A-okay! However, purposely tweezing your eyebrows to smithereens is cringey. If you truly want to wear this look, here’s what you can do instead of tweezing:

  • Create a faux bleached look by applying a skin tone colored setting powder all over your brows.
  • Once they’ve ‘disappeared,’ take an eyebrow pencil or eyeliner to draw a thin line over them.

I’m…wondering what the ramifications of telling you how to do this will be, but only use go for this look if it’s a part of a themed party…like Halloween.

6. Exaggerated Highlighter On Cheeks

Milad Farhani

The shimmery look is in since it’s winter, but please don’t make it look like you dipped your cheeks into a vat of glitter. You can lightly dust highlighter onto your cheeks for a more natural glow that flows with the rest of your look. Otherwise you’ll look like a walking disco ball which could be the opposite of what you were going for.

7. Heavy Contour Or Bronzer

Laura Garcia

I know the ‘sculpted’ look is popular, but too much contour or bronzer can overpower the rest of your makeup and face. While it’s not impossible to fix if you do it by mistake, using the wrong shade of contour or bronzer may still peep through no matter how much you try to buff it out.

When in doubt, be gentle with your contour or bronzer application!

8. Incredibly Matte Makeup

Nataliia Yatsiuk

Matte makeup that didn’t budge was the ‘It Girl’ look for oily and combination skin girls! We thought it was the answer to our skin’s incessant need to hydrate our faces instead of actually using skincare products that focused on combatting that issue (psst…Vitamin C serums help!).

But now’s the time to break up with this look for good for one reason: dewy skin looks healthier.

While we have you here, learn about the outdated shoe trends you shouldn't be wearing in 2025 either.

Now that you're getting ready to transition your fall dresses to cozier winter options, you're likely going to need chic accessories to match. You don't need anything over-the-top though! We're thinking more along the lines of "when cutesy meets functional" here. And since you're likely buying gifts for everyone else, we don't want you to forget to buy yourself something nice before 2025 arrives! Luckily, Anthropologie has all the CUTEST accessories right now, from totally adorable bag charms to cheeky pairs of tights. Here are all our fave finds right now!

P.S. Some of these Anthropologie accessories can also work as cute stocking stuffers, if you really can't help but snag something for everyone else.

As much as I love the wholesome parts of the holidays (like decorating Christmas cookies and opening gifts in the morning), one of my absolute favorite parts about the end of the year is ringing in a new one. 2025 is on its way, baby, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already scheming up a New Year's party plan. The key to a good time is definitely having a great outfit – and these 12 Abercrombie & Fitch party dresses are actually perfect for the occasion. I’m talkin’ sequins, mesh, and even leopard print.

Get ready to stand out this season in these drop-dead gorgeous Abercrombie & Fitch party dresses!

Abercrombie & Fitch

Collared Zip-Up Midi Dress

The ruching along the front of this zip-up dress is super flattering, drawing eyes to your waistline. The high leg slit feels flirtatious as ever, which could be just the vibe you're needing for your New Year's plans.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Satin Slip Maxi Dress

Slip dresses are simply timeless and so easy to style. Lean more '90s with this foxy leopard print. I'd def wear it with some black boots and a black faux fur jacket for the drama (and more importantly, the warmth).

Abercrombie & Fitch

High-Neck Satin Sculpt Midi Dress

While the front of this sleek midi is more modest, the back features an open design that lets you show some more skin. It's definitely on the elegant side, so I'd advise wearing it to a fancy cocktail hour or more low-key NYE party this year.
