Sandy Koszarek is filled with styling and shopping ideas. This makes sense given that she worked for years as a VIP stylist at Nordstrom and currently offers fashion guidance across her popular Instagram feed and site, Stylish Sandy. We recently asked her for tips on the most fashionable basics, and next, we wanted to know more about the trends and items she'll wear more of in 2025 to look chic.
Below, you'll uncover Koszarek's list of six modern, elevated pieces that will bring a relevant spin to any look. These pieces will become Koszarek's tried and true staples this year.

Brown + Powder Pink
"I'll continue to wear shades of brown in the new year, but I'm also adding powder pink to my wardrobe for a subtle pop of color." — Koszarek
Cuffed Jeans
"I'm wearing cuffed jeans in the new year. They're trending, and the cuffed hem adds a touch of style, turning any outfit into that cool-girl look." — Koszarek
Tall Boots
"They're classic yet modern, and I love how they look with skirts, dresses, and slim-straight jeans for a classic equestrian style." — Koszarek
Turtlenecks
"Mock- and turtlenecks are wardrobe essentials I'll be wearing this season. They always feel timeless and chic, especially when layered under a leather jacket, blazer, or wool coat for a polished look." — Koszarek
Longline Coats
"Longline coats are my go-to outer layer to stay warm and look chic in the new year. They elevate all my outfits, from joggers to trousers." — Koszarek
White Jeans
"Another seasonal staple in my wardrobe is white jeans. They're not just for summer months—they bring a fresh, unexpected look to winter outfits and always look chic and stylish." — Koszarek
