As a fashion editor, forecasting trends isn’t just part of my job—it’s practically a sport. The thrill of spotting what’s next months ahead keeps me glued to runway shows, press previews and street style moments. But as much as I love tracking what’s on the horizon, there’s an art to finding the pieces that feel both forward-thinking and timeless. It’s not about chasing every microtrend, but rather curating a wardrobe that grows and evolves with your style. With 2025 knocking on the door, my sights are set on identifying the trends that will define the new year; the styles I’ll want to live in for the next 12 months and beyond.
When it comes to trend-spotting, NET-A-PORTER is my North Star. It’s the shopping destination that perfectly balances avant-garde pieces with enduring classics, making it a go-to for my wardrobe refreshes. I’ve lost count of the number of timeless finds I’ve sourced from the luxury retailer’s impeccably curated edit. One standout? Toteme’s striped turtleneck jumper—it was everywhere when it launched a few years ago, but it remains a staple I rely on every winter. NET-A-PORTER’s ability to seamlessly merge the season’s biggest trends with investment-worthy essentials is why it’s one of my first stops when prepping for the year ahead. With a new wave of trends debuting on the site, I’ve already bookmarked a handful of pieces for my calendar of events and day-to-day life in 2025.
For the coming year, I’m looking to mindfully expand my wardrobe with a mix of bold trends and versatile staples. Slouchy denim is topping my list—perfect for the off-duty but polished looks I love—and I can’t wait to embrace the ongoing animal-print renaissance in fun, unexpected ways. Leather basics are another focus; they’re ideal for grounding trendier pieces whilst still feeling elevated. Of course, footwear is just as important, and I’m leaning into retro trainers for casual days and silver flats for evening elegance. NET-A-PORTER’s new-in section is brimming with pieces that fit the brief, and I can already picture how these styles will integrate into my rotation.
Below, I’ve rounded up my favourite picks to kick off 2025 in style.

1. Slouchy Denim
Style Notes: Slouchy denim has been a go-to silhouette for a few seasons, but in 2025, the trend is getting a refresh. While 2024 was all about exaggerated proportions and ultra-relaxed fits, next year brings a slightly more tailored edge to the look. Think structured wide-legs with intentional details like darted waists or raw hems, making them feel just a bit more refined. These updated styles are perfect for those wanting the comfort of slouchy fits without sacrificing a polished aesthetic—ideal for balancing casual and elevated looks.
