Does anyone else wish there was something like Spotify Wrapped for our wardrobes, showing us the outfits we wore most throughout the year? My "Wardrobe Wrapped" would no doubt highlight my reliance on hard-working outerwear, my obsession with knitwear, and the impressively high number of times I manage to wear the same pair of jeans in a week. But, with 2025 now in full swing, I'm setting a resolution to become more adventurous with my style over the next 12 months. Maybe by the time "Wardrobe Wrapped" becomes a thing, I'll finally have followed through on this promise—one I make to myself every year.
Perhaps more realistic is the ambition to mix some fresh trends in with fail-safe favourites. I like what I like, so it would make little sense to totally overhaul my style identity. Instead, I'm vowing to try out fresh combinations and think outside the sartorial box from time to time. For example, I'll still be wearing wide-leg jeans, but I might switch up my footwear for a silhouette outside of my comfort zone—believe it or not, I still haven't tested the Mary Jane trend, and I've been eager to see if chunky loafers suit me.
If you'd like to come on this journey with me, take a look at seven outfits I've bookmarked below. These stylish ensembles feel incredibly wearable, while incorporating emerging trends in a way that feels modern and up-to-date. And personally, that's everything I'm looking for in my 2025 outfits.
7 FRESH OUTFITS I'LL BE WEARING THROUGHOUT 2025:
1. Bubble Skirt + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: In the spirit of trying new things, I've decided to add a bubble skirt to my to-buy list. After all, it is set to be the skirt trend of 2025. Realistically, I know a short iteration will work best in my wardrobe, especially if I style it as I would an A-line mini, i.e. with knee-high boots and polished layers.
Shop the look:
The ultimate wear-with-everything coat.
This layering piece will come in handy year-round.
You could also easily dress this up for the evening.
This shape is timeless—you'll pull these boots out every winter.
2. Double Denim + Red Accents
Style Notes: Red is the colour trend that even minimalists love. Even a simple look is instantly lifted by well-placed pops of cherry, crimson or burgundy. As we transition into spring, I’ll be pairing red with true blue denim—a combination that feels both fresh and complementary.
Shop the look:
Relaxed but put-together.
A stunning work-to-weekend bag.
I'm into the subtle barrel leg.
The buckles are such a cool detail.
3. White Shirt + Lace Skirt
Style Notes: It seems skirts are having a moment, because lace designs are also cropping up everywhere as we near the new year. I like the idea of juxtaposing this sultry, feminine style with a roomy masculine-inspired shirt, as above.
Shop the look:
A forever staple.
Everyone will be wearing cuffs in 2025.
Come spring, you'll find even more ways to wear this.

4. Fitted Blazer + Wide-Leg Trousers
Style Notes: Oversized blazers are considered essential by the whole Who What Wear team, but fitted iterations have been grabbing my attention lately. More specifically, hourglass blazers with bold shoulders and cinched-in waists always look directional.
Shop the look:
Aligne always nails it when it comes to tailoring.
Statement sunnies are a must-have, even in winter.
These look like the perfect balance of smart and comfy.
Destined to become your most-reached-for bag.
5. Leopard Knit + Loose Jeans
Style Notes: One thing's for sure, I'll be carrying my obsession with animal print into 2025. I'm yet to jump on the leopard knitwear bandwagon, but the effortlessness of this outfit has convinced me to try it out.
Shop the look:
Layer over anything to add interest to your outfit.
Recently, I've been seeing headbands all over Instagram.

6. Plaid Skirt + Loafers
Style Notes: 2025 will see nineties-style plaid steal the spotlight. I’ll be embracing the grunge-inspired checks by teaming them with chunky loafers for a look that’s cool in an understated way.
Shop the look:
This will go with everything.
Acne is the best brand for grungy pieces.

7. White Dress + Cardigan + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: It may not be quite warm enough to wear this combo just yet, but it's one I already have saved ahead of spring time. Dawn proves that simple white dress with a classic cardigan over the top can look so elegant, and I love how she's kept accessories simple here, too.
Shop the look:
You could also style this with a blazer and boots.
This could easily pass for designer.
The perfect pair of Mary Jane.
