As we dive into March 2025, TikTok is embracing a more spontaneous and authentic energy. The trends this month are all about simplicity, personal expression, and capturing the moment without overthinking it. From easy-to-join dance challenges to meaningful storytelling and nostalgic aesthetics, here are the three biggest TikTok trends dominating feeds this month.
Late night energy
If you love dancing but aren’t into complex choreography, this trend is made for you. TikTok creators are freestyling to Civ’s ultra-catchy track “1 AM,” tapping into late-night energy and carefree vibes. It’s less about perfect moves and more about capturing a raw, authentic moment.
Think neon-lit streets, house parties, or solo dances in your room, anywhere you can channel that “out at 1 AM” aesthetic. Many creators are adding retro filters or grainy effects to enhance the moody, nostalgic vibe. The simplicity of the challenge makes it super accessible, and its casual feel is exactly why it’s blowing up.

Women’s Day
As International Women’s Day approaches, TikTok is lighting up with personal stories, educational content, and creative tributes celebrating women around the world. Creators are sharing heartfelt messages, highlighting the achievements of inspiring women in their lives, and raising awareness on important gender equity issues.

Retro filter vibe
Nostalgia is back on the rise (again), and TikTokers can’t get enough of it. The latest revival? Retro filters paired with “Love You So” by The King Khan & BBQ Show. This trend blends throwback aesthetics with wholesome, feel-good moments.
Creators are using vintage color tones, grainy overlays, and old-school transitions to craft videos that feel like they’re straight out of the early 2000s (or even the ’90s). Whether it’s a day at the park, a casual coffee moment, or an aesthetic room tour, this trend is all about slowing down and enjoying the simple things-with a retro twist.
