I'm Refining My Wardrobe—36 Staples I'm Eyeing for 2025
As I've written about before, one of my 2024 New Year's resolutions was to be more strategic with my shopping choices. I decided to focus on investing in timeless wardrobe staples that I'll keep in my closet for years rather than chasing every passing trend that bubbled up. This strategy served me well in 2024, so I decided to lean in even further for 2025—meaning I'm refining my wardrobe to include only polished items.
I plan to only add sophisticated pieces to my closet this year, focusing on quality fabrics and timeless silhouettes. Since elegance has commanded the fashion world over the past few seasons, there are plenty of chic options out there right now worth investing in. Think suede loafers, cashmere sweaters, and tailored coats. After hours of scrolling, I've landed on 36 staples I'm considering for the year ahead. Below, I'm highlighting the polished wardrobe staples I'm eyeing for 2025, from classic watches to satin pumps.
Barn jackets are still going strong, and I love this iteration from Everlane.
Leather gloves are always glamorous, but the extra-long ones are even better.
Everyone needs a great black cashmere sweater in their closet.
Even jeans and a tee look expensive when paired with these.
