The Closet Edit: What’s In, What’s Iconic, and What’s Making a Comeback (Spoiler: It’s You)

I’ll say it loud for the girlies in the back scrolling TikTok at brunch—your wardrobe isn’t complete until it’s part functional, part fabulous, and 100% you. This season’s style report? A little timeless, a little trendy, and a whole lot of effortlessly cool.

Let’s break it down like a well-structured blazer and dive into what your closet actually needs in 2025.

The LBD: Still That Girl

The Little Black Dress didn’t come to play—it came to stay. Whether you’re channeling old-Hollywood Audrey or New York-minimalist-meets-Berghain-blackout, the LBD remains the chicest power move in your closet. Wear it with knee-high boots and a leather trench by day, swap for strappy heels and a lip that says “I ghosted him first” by night.

Pro tip? Add a red bag or chunky silver earrings for a dopamine boost that screams “main character.”

Denim, But Make It Personal

Skinny jeans? Retired. Ultra-baggy cargos? Possibly reapplying for their job. But good denim? Forever. The vibe this season is clean, confident, and curated. Think straight-leg jeans in rich, raw indigo or faded vintage blues that whisper “I thrifted this in Paris” (even if it was Zara).

Try a denim-on-denim moment (yes, Canadian tuxedos are hot again) with a cropped jacket and ballet flats. Or go wild and pair wide-leg jeans with a baby tee and barely-there heels for that model-off-duty effect—even if you’re just grabbing iced matcha and a minor existential crisis.

Big Accessories Energy

The girls are done being subtle. Statement accessories are the espresso shot of your outfit—essential, a little bold, and dangerously effective. We’re talking sculptural earrings, chunky metal chokers, retro sunnies that could double as armor, and bags that may or may not fit your phone, but definitely fit your vibe.

Because in 2025, quiet luxury is great—but loud accessories are the real mic drop.

Loungewear, Reimagined

You know that "just ran into my ex but I look unbothered" outfit? That’s the new loungewear blueprint. Elevated sets in buttery soft fabrics, oversized button-downs that double as dresses, and matching knits you can wear to Whole Foods and a rooftop party.

The rule: If it feels like pajamas but looks like a street-style snap, you’re doing it right. Bonus points for adding a slicked bun and glossy lips—because we’re relaxed, not resigned.

Fashion With a Conscience

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the dress code for the future. From brands using deadstock and plant-based dyes to labels owned by people you actually want to support, it’s all about mindful shopping with maximal impact.

Look for timeless cuts in quality fabrics you won’t Marie Kondo in six months. Choose clothes with a backstory. Ask where your pieces came from—and then tell everyone when they compliment you at brunch. (Because they will.)

The Bottom Line? You Are the Trend

Fashion is no longer about “must-haves” or “rules.” It’s about moments. And how you choose to live in them.

So wear the blazer with sneakers. Throw a vintage trench over your slip dress. Mix silver and gold, clash prints, go full monochrome or full glitterbomb. Just do it your way.

Because in the end, style isn’t about fitting in—it’s about standing out without even trying.

Consider this your permission slip to shop smarter, style louder, and step into your soft, confident, hyper-curated main character energy. Now go make the sidewalk your runway—and don’t forget to reapply your gloss.
