5 Simple, Anti-Trend Outfits Everyone Will Wear This Winter
1. Wool Coat + Tailored Trousers + Loafers
Style Notes: Cinch-waist jackets may be a major look in 2025, but that doesn't mean you have to buy a new topper to get the look. As seen here, you can use a tonal belt to nip the jacket in and create that flattering fit. Since the jacket is the outfit, style influencer Neelam kept the rest of her outfit simple, opting for tailored pants, sleek clogs, and a leather bowling bag.
