This year, I’m looking to Madewell, COS, and J.Crew for my simple yet chic wardrobe staples—items that can easily move between spur-of-the-moment dinners with friends, Zoom calls, and what do you know, preschool tours. I started with broad ideas like clean lines, dark neutrals, well-tailored jeans, and chic outerwear. As I spent more time with my Pinterest wish list for 2025, I got more specific, narrowing down exactly what will fill some holes in my closet as well as some pretty new trend pieces that will bring new life and a bit of joy.
Stylish flats are a must—I spied some ballet flats on Madewell's site that are sure to sell out. Animal print is a trend that's just now seeping into my consciousness, which means I must have J.Crew's leopard-print pleated skirt, not to mention the zebra-print heels. I’ve also been on the hunt for a new bag, all of which I'm sharing with you just below.
Pale pink is set to be the It color this year.
I have no idea how I was sleeping on Madewell's ballet flats for so long—these are really good!
These pants actually give me butterflies.
I adore this coat and the way it's styled here.
This color combo is 10/10.
Well, hello there.
I love the look of a simple red tee with vintage jeans.
Dark indigo jeans are trending for 2025, but they're also classic.
Act fast—this is sure to sell out.
New in at J.Crew.
The epitome of simple yet chic.
The belt that will both tie your outfit together and add that somethin' somethin'.
I'm lacking long-sleeve T-shirts, and I really like the loose fit of this one.
I was unfamiliar with Agmes before this collaboration, but it's definitely on my radar now.
I'm loving a crisp black T-shirt with faded black jeans lately.
I've neglected to get new pajamas for far too long and keep coming back to this tab on my computer.
The styling!
I'm gravitating toward washed black denim for 2025.
Red socks and loafers is my new favorite combination.
Animal prints are having a moment right now.
This sweater keeps selling out—catch it if you can!
Such a pretty everyday necklace.
Everything about these pants is perfect.
Just trying to fulfill my gray quota.
Your statement-sweater need has been fulfilled.
How fun that these earrings are different shapes.
I could live in slouchy sweaters like this if it got cold enough on the West Coast.
Classic.
This button-up needs a place in my closet.
Does it get any better than this pleated skirt?
