After a long couple of years of nonstop talk about capsule wardrobes, neutrals, and minimalism, it's undeniable that the trend cycle is shifting. With the influx of bolder color trends (hello, emerald green), personality-driven accessories, and retro silhouettes, I'm dipping my toe in the new wave of trending maximalism in 2025—which isn't even as bold as you'd expect. Essentially, it involves infusing pops of personal flair through color and accessories to create a more well-rounded closet.

As a less-is-more person, I've found the easiest way to incorporate new trends and shades into my wardrobe is in the footwear department. A touch of color in the form of a heel, boot, or sneaker is a seamless way to spice up your everyday wardrobe without compromising your typical uniform. So, it only makes sense that I'd look to Charlotte Stone for the coolest on-trend new arrivals. The brand's newest collection of fun footwear features chic suede textures, pretty shades, and one-of-a-kind styles that will definitely garner a "Where did you get those?" from a stranger. Keep scrolling to see our favorites from Charlotte Stone's newest release.
