I'm a Shopping Expert—18 Classic High-Street Buys That Will Carry You Right Into 2025

With 2025 just around the corner, my wardrobe prep is in full swing, and if there's one thing I've learnt, it's that classic, understated layers are my year-round essentials. My style leans towards the minimal and timeless, focusing on pieces that layer well—think tailored outerwear, cosy knits and versatile separates that feel as chic as they are functional. Whilst knitwear is always at the front of my mind, I'm finding there's so much more to lean on to build out a capsule wardrobe at this time of year. Layering season brings an abundance of beautiful textures and thoughtfully designed pieces that make getting dressed a real joy, and I'm embracing it all. So, when I turned to Free People to hunt down those key pieces for the season, and year, ahead, I found just what I was looking for.

Known for mastering the balance of bohemian charm and practical design, Free People has become my go-to for winter staples that feel both elevated and effortless. A coat I picked up last year became my winter uniform; it kept me cosy and stylish from pub lunches to festive dinners without ever feeling overdone. And the brand's new-in collection doesn't disappoint either—it's full of items that fit perfectly into my streamlined wardrobe whilst adding a bit of Free People's signature warmth and character. Each piece feels carefully curated for real life; perfect for everything on my calendar this winter and well into 2025.

After discussing 2025 capsule wardrobe essentials with my fellowBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK editors, it's clear we're all drawn to a few standout Free People pieces this season. From a double-breasted tweed coat for really cold days to elegant knitted dresses that make outfit planning a breeze, these are pieces we're all coveting. I've spent a good chunk of my morning sifting through Wholesale Replica Bag offerings to pick out my top pieces so you don't have to.

Below, you'll find an edit brimming with cosy, versatile and seriously chic pieces to consider adding to your 2025 wardrobe.
