Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
The "new year, new me" adage never gets old, especially when applied to our closets, and in 2025, I'm looking to reinvent my wardrobe (yet again). As a bona fide Gen Z editor, I can't help but love a buzzy new trend taking over on social media. Piece by piece, I plan to work in some of the year's most popular pieces and aesthetics into my personal style. Currently, my daily rotation consists of crisp T-shirts, cozy knits, denim, and button-ups—all the great makings of a capsule wardrobe, but admittedly, they can become repetitive after a while. I've been inspired to spice things up with new textures, colors, and accessories, and lucky for me, these are all expected on this year's trend report.
2025's trend cycle won't be too far off from the past year's. Suede accessories will still be a hit, complemented by modern, less costumey boho aesthetics. Other trends staying strong are sporty, laid-back styles like track pants, baseball hats, chunky sneakers, and preppy polos. I might be biased working in an office and all, but my bets are on corporate core remaining in the spotlight, with oversize silhouettes and '80s-like charm giving the sometimes stuffy style a much-needed reset. See-through pieces will take on a more pared-back, safe-for-work vibe, and finally, cute charms will be the go-to way to dress up your bags, shoes, and accessories. Ahead, shop 30 on-trend items I'm adding to my mood board this year.
