5 Items I'm Buying to Make My Basic Outfits Look Very 2025

My daily outfits are generally made up of a mix of elevated basics that I mix and match together, and often style with one very of-the-moment seasonal piece. When it comes to what I'll be shopping for this year, I've looked at the spring/summer 2025 runways and made a list of some of the more wearable styles that I can incorporate into my everyday outfits and very clearly feel on-trend.

Below, I'm sharing some of the specific pieces I'm planning on buying right now to make my basic outfits look very 2025. From sporty jackets to romantic sheer skirts and cool retro sneakers, take a look below at the pieces worth investing in for the year ahead.

Sporty Jackets

Windbreakers, anoraks, soft shells, and zip-ups are set to dominate in 2025, thanks to a whole host of designers from Miu Miu to Gucci showcasing jackets with a sporty sensibility on the runways. Opt for luxe fits and fabrics and style with everything from feminine dresses to chic tailoring for a cool, contrasting look.

Sheer Fabrics

Romantic, soft, sheer, and flowing chiffon and tulle fabrics dominated the runways via skirts, blouses, dresses, and pants in ethereal shades. I'll be giving my outfits a soft filter in 2025 by pairing a sheer skirt with an oversize sweater, or an ethereal blouse with relaxed tailored trousers. These are looks that feel equally sensual and sophisticated.
