We are already half way into January, and I am basking in all of the new year glory. Last year treated me well, but I'm embracing the (almost) clean slate that comes with a brand new year.

OUTFIT TRENDS 2025: 8 CHIC, CURRENT-LOOKING ENSEMBLES TO TRY
1. THE NEW LAYERING TRIO
Style Notes: Layering is crucial at the start of the year as it's very cold out, and right now, I'm seeing so many London women opting for the same combination. Take a roomy blazer, add a cardigan and layer both over a t-shirt, which you see just poking out from under your knit.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This oversized blazer blends a chic silhouette with sustainable materials—perfect for work or weekend layering.
A timeless cardigan made from 100% wool, delivering cosy warmth with effortless style.
The ultimate white tee, crafted from soft cotton for a versatile wardrobe staple.
These high-rise jeans with a barrel-leg fit and frayed edges offer a contemporary take on denim.
Polished patent leather meets timeless ankle boot design, perfect for elevating any outfit.
2. POWER PAIRING: CREAM AND BLACK
Style Notes: As far as colour combinations go, cream and black might not seem like the most groundbreaking, but I'd argue that pairing the dark hue with something less stark than bright white always has a more expensive-looking payoff.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Stay warm and stylish in this chic white coat, a cold-weather essential.
Elegant gold-plated hoops that effortlessly elevate any outfit, day or night.
Good thing is you can take it into spring too.
Sophisticated yet functional, this structured leather bag is a go-to for everyday elegance.
Add drama to your wardrobe with these sleek stiletto-heeled knee boots.
3. DON'T FEAR A SKIRT OVER TROUSERS
Style Notes: Outfits where skirts and dresses were worn over trousers and jeans ruled the spring/summer 2025 runways. Full of Y2K style appeal, Gen Z are already adopting this look as their own.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This bottle-green bomber combines edgy details with a luxe leather-look finish.
A cool printed tee with vintage-inspired graphics, perfect for off-duty looks.
Timeless checks meet a flattering pleated silhouette in this versatile midi skirt.
Sustainable denim in a high-rise, straight-leg cut for effortless everyday wear.
A retro classic, these leather-and-suede sneakers bring timeless cool to any outfit.
4. REVEAL AND CONCEAL
Style Notes: Sheer textures are going to be a big trend in 2025, and the chicest way to wear it (in my opinion anyway) is with half your body remaining concealed. Be it by way of an A-line midi or wide led trousers. Of course you can always try the reverse too, by opting for a tulle skirt and wearing a shirt or cashmere knit up top.
SHOP THE LOOK:
A sleek and sheer cropped top that's perfect for layering or making a statement.
18ct gold-plated hoops with a unique dome design that adds instant polish.
Minimalist and comfortable, this seamless bra is perfect for layering under any outfit.
Make a statement with this croc-effect leather midi skirt—sleek and sophisticated.
Add a pop of colour with these patent leather slingbacks in a vibrant orange hue.
5. FORGO FRONT TUCKS
Style Notes: If you can, try to resist the temptation to tuck your tops into your bottoms. While this does tend to look chic, leaving your knitwear or shirts untucked is a quick way to completely change the mood of an outfit.
SHOP THE LOOK:
A relaxed yet polished option for work-to-weekend dressing.
Vintage-inspired sunglasses with chic oval frames to complete your look.
A bold red leather clutch with clean lines and modern appeal.
Stay warm and stylish with this cable-knit skirt.
Understated and versatile, these stretch suede boots offer a sleek silhouette.
6. UNBUTTON YOUR SHIRTS
Style Notes: Another trend I'm keen to emulate from the 2025 runways is that of the unbuttoned shirt. From Bottega Veneta to Michael Kors, models were sent out with their buttons left undone on their shirts, which presents a fresh way to do sultry style. It might be one to bookmark for when temperatures heat up, but it's this sort of questioning of the status quo that will ensure your looks feel current this year.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Timeless tailoring meets cosy warmth in this versatile double coat.
A wardrobe essential.
This structured leather bag adds modern sophistication to any outfit.
Tailored with comfort in mind, these wool trousers feature an elastic waistband for ease.
Sleek and versatile, these pointed leather ankle boots are a wardrobe essential.
7. EMBRACE POWDER PINK
Style Notes: Light pink tones are set to reign as the biggest colour trend of the season. Having ebbed and flowed in popularity over the years, many of us will have something suitably toned in our wardrobes to start wearing. Use the hue to breathe a new lease of life into more muted or neutral colours, like this pretty pink and grey pairing.
SHOP THE LOOK:
A soft, relaxed-fit sweater that's super chic for casual days.
A tailored wool blazer with a double-breasted silhouette for a forever classic style.
A sleek, minimalist leather belt to cinch your waist in style.
Tailored yet relaxed, these wool trousers are ideal for work or weekends.
Glossed leather loafers with a timeless silhouette for polished everyday wear.
8. ADD A NECK SCARF
Style Notes: The accessory du jour right now has to be the triangle scarf—if you don't already own one, trust me, this is a small investment that will help you unlock some very sleek outfits.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This weather-resistant car coat is a stylish and practical layering piece.
Crafted from supple suede, this jacket offers style with functional details.
This cosy knit shawl adds texture and warmth to your outfit.
Relaxed-fit denim with a high-rise waist for a laid-back, retro-inspired look.
