As we enter the new year, I—like a lot of people—am in the process of cleaning out my closet. I'm taking inventory of what I have and what I actually wear and removing the items I don't. I typically do this twice a year to declutter and ensure I'm only holding on to pieces I actually love, giving me a clean slate to build out my wardrobe for the season ahead. Going through my closet also brings me back to my personal style, which allows me to examine upcoming trends through that lens before making any purchases.
Since I'm feeling grounded in my personal style at the moment, I looked through the spring/summer 2025 runway shows to see which trends truly speak to me—Khaite's powder pink, Gucci's olive green, Saint Laurent's soft power suiting, and the romantic touches from Chloé have my full attention. With that in mind, I started browsing my favorite retailers and saving items I'm considering to build out my wardrobe for the year ahead. From powder-pink outerwear to relaxed tailoring and chic scarf details, the pieces I'm eyeing are a mix of new trends and timeless staples to round out my wardrobe. Below, I'm sharing the best shopping picks from Revolve, Zara, and Mango for 2025 (in my humble opinion).
