There's just one more sleep until Christmas Day, but beyond the mass of wrapping paper, twinkling lights and mounds of roast potatoes, I've been thinking about the arrival of the new year.

Many of us will enjoy a break between the festivities and the start of 2025, and this pause is the ideal time to take stock of our wardrobes too. With months of winter now behind us and more to come, the excitement of pulling together yet another layered outfit may have dwindled. But don't fret; the arrival of the new year sparks an opportunity to breathe fresh life into our ensembles. At least that's how I feel, so I've consulted the Who What Wear UK team to ask our editors what's on their 2025 wish lists. Trust me: you'll want to scroll on.

With January on the horizon, many of us may have already jotted down a list of resolutions for the new year, with opportunities to focus on ourselves, make time for mindfulness or finally find out what "sleep hygiene" is. It can feel like a time when everyone is making changes, but I've always stood by the belief that less is more, especially when there's a whole new year of possibilities ahead. This isn't the time to completely overhaul your collection and divert from the aesthetic you feel most comfortable with, but rather it's about leaning into what has served you the year before and letting that guide you—be it personally or in your shopping.

So, this isn't a list of pieces that require a whole new wardrobe of items to style, nor are these swiftly moving trends that will push you too far out of your comfort zone and which you'll rarely end up wearing. Below are smart additions that can elevate your existing polished pieces, fresh takes on our most-worn styles and accents of newness to make your foundations feel brand new. With my fellow editors in tow, you'll find fresh inspiration to suit various tastes, from those who opt for bolder ensembles to the most classic minimalists around.
