The new year is nearly here, and I truly don't understand how 2025 went by so quickly. Like many of us, I've been taking a moment to reflect on the past 12 months—especially on my style evolution. 2025 was full of trial and error with my personal style, experimenting with silhouettes, playing with different colors, and figuring out what feels authentic to me rather than impulsive. One thing that's not changing as I head into 2026 is my appreciation for cozy staples that still look stylish and intentional. That feels particularly relevant during the quiet stretch between the holidays and New Year's Eve, when routines slow down, the days blur together, and comfort takes absolute priority.
Old Navy's cozy collection has been top of mind for exactly that reason: The pieces are incredibly comfortable and soft while remaining versatile, polished, and wearable beyond your home. And get this—every style comes in at $50 or less. Yeah, you heard me right. Ahead, I'm sharing the standout pieces I'll lean on through the final days of this year, and what I'll be styling in 2026.
Jeans
Jeans were probably my most-worn article of clothing in 2025, and I know for a fact that's not changing in the new year. They are just so versatile—you can wear them day to night and dress them up or down. These under-$50 styles are too good to pass up.
Sweaters
You can never have too many sweaters in the winter, and these picks are the kind of staples you'll want on hand as you ring in the new year. I especially love the mix of earthy neutrals and fun colors in Old Navy's lineup, making it easy to match whatever vibe the day calls for.
Sweatshirts and Pullovers
Sweatshirts and fleece pullovers are essential for both lounging and running errands, offering that blend of warmth and comfort we all gravitate towards this time of year. Old Navy's latest styles feel especially polished, with unique silhouettes that elevate even the most casual moments.
Sweatpants
Sweatpants are nonnegotiable this time of year (and honestly any time of year), especially with a matching top. I absolutely adore a coordinated lounge set, and that's exactly what you'll find me in until the new year.
