12 Special Under-$200 Finds That Feel Very 2025


The spring/summer 2025 collections will slowly begin trickling into stores over the next few weeks. The trend cycle can be fickle, and so it’s always best to view new arrivals through the filter of your own personal style—if you don’t do sportswear, the shell jacket trend won’t be for you, so don’t force it. If you wear neutrals, swerve the pink that is about to dominate new-in sections.
However, subtle tweaks or one or two careful purchases can bring a freshness to your existing wardrobe, and below I’ve shared 12 new buys that feel very 2025. There’s a sweater in the color of spring (a soft powder pink), a skirt that taps into the sheer tulle moment, and a pair of sneakers that I’ve added to my own personal shopping list. Keep scrolling for my 2025 edit of pieces that are all under $200.
"Soft power" is one of the key moods for 2025, which is all about relaxed tailoring.
