Jen Andrews-Cater’s Instagram feed, @jenknowsbestblog, is filled with inspiring styling content. She has self-described "minimal style" and gravitates toward that pared-down yet elevated, chic aesthetic. One quick scroll through the feed, and you’ll notice a range of staples, including beautiful tailoring silhouettes, versatile shoe styles, and gorgeous bags. On that note, there are actually a few items Andrews-Cater isn’t as into right now and won’t be wearing much of this spring in favor of other selects.
Keep scrolling to check out the list of fashion pieces she won’t be reaching for. (Of course, this is all based on personal preference, and you should always wear what you love.) In addition, you’ll uncover the selects—complete with many of her specific shopping picks—that she loves and you’ll see more of on her Instagram feed throughout 2025.
Wearing: Bowler/East-West Bags
Won't Be Wearing as Much: Crossbody Bags
"For handbags, I’m not currently into shoulder or crossbody bags despite their convenience. I love the look, sophistication, and polish a bowler or east-west bag silhouette gives to a look. And with so many designers and brands, acknowledging both of these bag trend silhouettes, you can find one at virtually any price point." — Andrews-Cater
Wearing: Cinched-In Blazers
Won't Be Wearing as Much: Super-Oversize Blazers
"I’ve really been craving an hourglass or cinched-waist blazer/coat and moving away from super-oversize blazer silhouettes. I won’t be getting rid of them, just giving them a little pause." — Andrews-Cater
Wearing: Soft Colors
Won't Be Wearing as Much: Neutral-Only Color Palettes
"Come spring, I won’t be wearing such serious neutral color palettes all of the time (grays, blacks, beiges). Instead, I’ll be incorporating some soft colors into my neutral minimal outfits. Think soft pink, pale yellow, and baby blue. Mix that in with some transparent fabrics, and it’s a double win." — Andrews-Cater
Wearing: Sleek Mules/Slippers
Won't Be Wearing as Much: Chunky Mules
"I’ll be putting away my chunkier mule flats and swapping them out for sleeker, more feminine alternatives in fun fabrics like pony hair and satin! And with a pop of color!" — Andrews-Cater
Wearing: Straight- and Wide-Leg Denim
Won't Be Wearing as Much: Skinny Jeans
"Word on the street is that skinny jeans are making a comeback, but not for this girl. Instead, you can still find me wearing straight- and wide-leg denim. To me, no one does it better when it comes to denim than Khaite. (I also really love Agolde denim.)" — Andrews-Cater
