Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Fashion for the upcoming year is top of mind as I consider how I'm building out my 2025 outfits as well as how I'll be editing out of my wardrobe. I've already done a thorough closet clean-out to donate pieces that I haven't been wearing and feel inspired to incorporate new-in pieces from designers as well as some of the upcoming trends that I've been excited to start wearing. I dug into the biggest trends from the spring/summer 2025 runways and more about where fashion is headed. Plus, I consulted editors to see which items they are planning to invest in, and there are some clear common themes.
So what has landed on the short list of key buys for 2025? Ahead, I’m breaking down the pieces I'm eyeing and plan to wear, whether it's in NYC, to fashion month, or once warmer weather arrives in spring. While I will start by ordering just a few items, this will serve as a shopping list I'll return to as I make new purchases throughout the year.
