Refined Elegance Is My 2025 Style Goal, and I'll Be Starting With These 30 Buys
As I'm settling into 2025, I've realized that my style has notably pivoted over the past year toward a more elegant and refined look. I'm increasingly gravitating toward streamlined tailoring, polished handbags, and sophisticated flats over anything too trendy, and I know I'm not the only one who's doing so. The spring/summer 2025 runways overwhelmingly showcased a refined and grown-up mood, whether it was the collarless coats at Toteme or the beautiful draping and A-line skirts at the recent Jacquemus show. Since my ultimate goal when getting dressed right now is to look as elegant as possible, I'm on the hunt for pieces that will become my 2025 staples.
That means I've narrowed my shopping energies in on pieces that have that elegant and retro feel but are ultimately the kinds of wearable pieces I'll want to reach for on the daily. Up ahead, you'll discover everything from a pair of satin Zara flats to workout black cigarette trousers to my dream Jil Sander bag, and so much more. I don't know about you, but I plan on starting the year strong, and these finds are nothing short of epic, IMHO.
I nearly ordered a similar $900 pair from The Row but thankfully spotted this pair from G.H. Bass with the same vibe. All my loafers are from this brand, and the quality is truly top-notch.
