Here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing
, we're big believers in high-low dressing. What we mean by that is spending money on our wardrobes wisely—investing in quality, luxury buys where it counts and bolstering our everyday wardrobes with more affordable winners. We can see the benefits of owning a beautiful designer handbag or show-stopping dress that has longevity and versatility, but we also know that COS does the best white shirts in the business.
Of course, we appreciate that it is a luxury in itself to be in a position to spend on new season clothes at all, let alone save up for or splurge on designer buys. But if you are in a position to invest in your wardrobe, generally we know that buying fewer, better quality items is a key factor in having an overall more responsible approach to fashion. Interspersing even just one or two key luxury buys into your wardrobe can not only mean cherishing those pieces more and for longer, but can also really elevate those more affordable buys too.
Where and what we all choose to spend our money on will obviously differ depending on each individual's lifestyle and personal taste—someone may enjoy wearing Valentino's bold pink platforms every day, and someone else may get more wear out of Saint Laurent's minimalist loafers. In general, though, atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing
, when we're browsing the new season luxury drops, we do tend to lean towards recommending those more wearable, classic items—those that don't play into trends or "It" buys so that you can be more confident you'll want to wear them for longer.
Once you've decided you'd like to invest in some key luxury buys, it can be difficult to know which items are truly worth the splurge. So, on the cusp of the new autumn season, we've done the 'hard' work for you, firstly dissecting the catwalks to pinpoint the overarching themes that will no doubt run through the most popular designer buys of the year. As it turns out, luxury in 2025 is all about those more wearable pieces anyway, with so many designers focused on what "real" women will want to be dressing in. Think pared-back tailoring, soft textures and a relaxed simplicity that makes for comfortable wear, as well as practical bags big enough to cart around everything needed for a busy lifestyle. All with elevated detailing, of course.
Luxury in autumn 2025 is set to be focused around a rich colour palette of jewel tones, pops of red and, of course, plenty of chocolate brown. Sumptuous suede and furry textures will sit alongside soft silk and cashmere layers. Understandably, elevated outerwear is the main focus with maxi lengths, heritage fabrics and tailored features at the forefront. It's not a million miles away from the ubiquitous quiet luxury aesthetic, but there's also a clear progression away from polished neutrals alone.
We took to the new-in sections of our favourite luxury retailers and scrolled through everything (someone has to do it) to round up the best new season designer buys that it would be wise to invest in now. So, whether you're looking to buy something special, or simply use this list as inspiration for finding similar, more affordable items for a 2025 wardrobe refresh, keep scrolling to see our edit now...
