2025 is almost upon us, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was ready for it. This year has treated me well, but I'm ready to embrace the (almost) clean slate that comes with a brand new year. With this may bring a temptation to shop—I know this because I work at Who What Wear UK and we see our readers' fashion interest peak at the start of any new season, let alone a fresh year. However, I'm here to ward you off.
While you should absolutely treat yourself to something new should you fancy it, I firmly believe that, with a few small tweaks to your outfits, that you can basically create a more current-looking ensemble with pieces you already own but that tap into big spring/summer 2025 fashion trends.
Intrigued? I thought you might be. Below I've charted eight such outfits which utilise pieces I reckon many of us will have to hand in one way, shape or form. So, if you're keen to hit a small reset on your style, scroll on to see eight outfit trends that you can use to inform your 2025 looks without spending a penny. Of course, I've shopped out the core pieces should you want to invest in any—as I said, this is Who What Wear UK.
OUTFIT TRENDS 2025: 8 CHIC, CURRENT-LOOKING ENSEMBLES TO TRY
1. THE NEW LAYERING TRIO
Style Notes: Layering is crucial at the start of the year when it's typically very cold out, and right now, I'm seeing so many London women opting for the same combination. Take a roomy blazer, add a cardigan and layer both over a t-shirt, which you see just poking out from under your knit.

2. POWER PAIRING: CREAM AND BLACK
Style Notes: As far as colour combinations go, cream and black might not seem like the most groundbreaking, but I'd argue that pairing the dark hue with something less stark than bright white always has a more expensive-looking payoff.
