00:00If you want to stay ahead of fashion in 2025 and 2026, this video is your style compass.
00:07I'll walk you through the most important fashion trends and the key items that will shape the way
00:13we dress this year and next. But before we dive into the runway reports and viral pieces,
00:21I want to share something important, something no one really talks about.
00:25Trends come and go. And while we all want to look current, being current doesn't always mean being trendy.
00:34Why? Because the system wants us to constantly buy more. It thrives on our need to feel stylish,
00:41new and accepted. I'm not here to judge. I'm here to help you see clearly. Buy what you love,
00:48wear what feels right and don't get caught in the trap of chasing every micro trend.
00:56So now, with a clear mind and a grounded heart, let's look at the trends worth knowing.
01:05And how to make them your own.
01:09The return of polished elegance. Tweed is having a moment and I couldn't be more thrilled.
01:16Designers like Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton have taken inspiration from society's most elegant ladies,
01:25giving us a modern twist on timeless sophistication.
01:30Picture classic gold button cardigans paired with unexpected pieces, like leather skirts or distressed jeans.
01:37Chanel stayed true to its signature ladylike aesthetic. While Gucci went bolder, with vibrant colors and
01:46exaggerated textures, Celine even dropped a collection that felt like Chanel's playful cousin, mixing classic
01:53silhouettes with a hint of irony. This trend is all about effortless class. If you're looking for one
01:59piece to invest in, a tweed jacket or an A-line dress is your go-to. It's polished, versatile and oh so chic.
02:08Easy asymmetry. Perfectly imperfect. Asymmetry is one of the most approachable yet artistic trends of the year.
02:18This is all about pieces that feel effortlessly unique.
02:21Skirts with uneven hems, tops with one shoulder or dresses with draping that feels almost accidental.
02:39Designers like Alaia and Bottega Veneta are leading this movement, creating asymmetrical skirts that seem
02:47perfectly thrown on but are meticulously designed.
02:52Tory Burch has taken it further with dresses featuring subtle tilts and shifts in structure that add visual intrigue without feeling overdone.
03:04What I love most about this trend is how easy it is to incorporate. You don't need an entirely new wardrobe.
03:11Just a single asymmetric piece can transform your look.
03:16Pair an asymmetrical skirt with a fitted top for a chic contrast. The 80s are back and they're as bold as ever,
03:27but this time with a modern twist. Think dynasty inspired power shoulders, dramatic polka dots and layers of
03:35tulle that feel fresh rather than retro. Designers like Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Bottega Veneta
03:44are bringing confidence to the runway, pairing exaggerated silhouettes with sleek separates.
03:50Picture a sharp-shouldered blazer styled with slim fit trousers or a polka dot midi dress with
03:56statement heels for a playful touch. This trend is all about owning your look and channeling that
04:05unapologetic energy from the 80s. Ready to step into your power?
04:19This year tailored shorts are stepping up. They're structured, polished and actually wearable.
04:25Pair them with a crisp blouse or a relaxed knit and you've got an outfit that's both stylish and
04:33appropriate for various occasions. Do I really still care about trends?
04:39Honestly, I asked myself the same thing. I'm not dressing for approval. I'm dressing for joy,
04:46confidence and identity. But here's what I've learned. When you style just one trend your own way,
04:52people notice it's not about looking trendy. It's about looking engaged, looking present,
05:01looking like you're still in the game. The word boho might bring back memories of tiered skirts
05:08and chaotic layering. But this season's boho it's focused, purposeful, grown up.
05:15When I first saw a tan suede jacket this year, I didn't expect it to look so special paired with
05:23wide leg jeans and a lace trim blouse. It does look timeless. The texture, the soft structure,
05:30it adds soul to the outfit without overpowering it. Here's the hack. Skip the froth and fluff.
05:38Go for one boho inspired item like a suede bag or a cream blouse with a subtle detail and ground it
05:46in clean lines. Trust me, it doesn't look like a costume. It looks curated. It's all about combining
05:53edgy and free-spirited vibes with chunky leather handbags, flowy skirts, moto boots and just the right
06:01amount of fringe. This trend isn't just about fashion. It's a lifestyle that's bold, effortless and a
06:07little rebellious. The sea is calling and designers are answering. Nautical inspired fashion is making
06:15waves in 2025 with sailor collars, breton stripes and even netted fabrics. Chanel is leaning into the
06:25timeless charm of sailor aesthetics, while Alaia is reimagining fisherman inspired designs with edgy
06:33netted dresses. For a more wearable take, pair a striped sweater with wide leg trousers or add a
06:41sailor collared blouse to your rotation. Whether you're near the coast or just dreaming of it,
06:48this trend will bring a breath of fresh air to your wardrobe.
06:51The secret here? Details. Don't wear anything faded or loose. Everything needs intention. Clean lines,
07:00contrast trim and accessories that finish the story. Prep school fashion has always had a timeless appeal,
07:08but this year it's about bending the rules. Forget the polish perfection of pleated skirts and
07:15buttoned up shirts. 2025's preppy look is undone, playful and experimental. Designers like Prada and
07:25Bottega Veneta are taking classic staples and giving them unexpected twists. For example, traditional
07:32shirting has been reimagined into oversized dresses with asymmetric hems and pleated trousers now come with
07:38built-in belts or layers that mimic skirts. Even blazers are being styled with collars turned up
07:46and layered over relaxed fits. What's exciting about this trend is how accessible it is.
07:53You can take pieces you already own, a classic striped shirt or a cardigan and mix them in unconventional
08:01ways. Try pairing an untucked oxford shirt with slouchy trousers and loafers or wear your favorite blazer
08:10with a pleated mini skirt for a fresh take on prep. This is about embracing imperfections while still
08:16looking effortlessly chic. Mini dresses are fun but let's face it they're not the most practical option.
08:24In colder weather they leave you shivering even with tights. Mid-axi dresses however are perfect for
08:32any season. They're long enough to keep you warm but still versatile enough for layering. Whether it's
08:39a cozy knit for winter or a silky slip dress for spring, the mid-axi dress is a wardrobe hero. Plus this
08:47is a perfect investment piece as you can wear and style them in countless ways.
08:53Let's talk about wide leg pants. They're flattering, sophisticated and make you look like you tried
09:11even if you didn't. Pair them with a fitted top or an oversized sweater and you're ready for anything.
09:18You'll feel the difference the moment you try them.
09:32Chunky sweaters might seem like the coziest option but here's the truth. They're bulky and often
09:52uncomfortable when you're layering. This year I'm turning to fine knit layers. They're lightweight,
09:58stackable and let you control your comfort level throughout the day. Whether it's a fitted cashmere
10:05sweater or a sleek turtleneck. Fine knits will keep you cozy without the bulk. Be sure to check out my
10:13video on knitwear trends. There are a lot of great insights on knits you won't want to miss.
10:19This year comfort meets style with sleek slingbacks. They're elegant enough for the office and sturdy
10:31enough for a day on the go. If you're tired of teetering this is the shoe for you. Enter the loafer.
10:41It's polished, practical and endlessly versatile. Whether you're wearing jeans, tailored trousers or even skirts,
10:50loafers elevate every outfit.
11:01As much as I love a good crossbody bag,
11:19they just don't cut it when you need to carry more than your essentials. This year it's all about
11:26oversized totes. They're practical, stylish and perfect for busy days. Think glossy leather or structured
11:36shapes that add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Once you make the switch you'll wonder how
11:42you managed without one.
11:56Excessive accessorization. If you thought last year's accessories were fun, wait until you see 2025.
12:05Bag charms, layered jewelry and even sneaker charms are stealing the spotlight. Coach is leading the
12:14charge with playful faux stickers on their bags while Moschino and Miu Miu have embraced chaotic
12:22layering. Think chunky necklaces, oversized hair bows and studs everywhere. Even Saint Laurent joined the fun
12:30proving that maximalism can still look sleek and polished. If you're not ready to dive in head first,
12:37start small. Add a single charm to your bag or layer two necklaces you wouldn't normally pair.
12:45Accessories this year are all about personal expression, so don't hold back. Everyone's chasing trends
12:52right now, but here's the thing. The women who actually look the most stylish this year,
12:59they're wearing fewer things better. In fact, I'd argue that minimalism is quietly becoming the most
13:08powerful style statement this year. And no one's really talking about it. Let's talk about why the
13:15most stylish women are going back to the basics and why it's not boring at all. Yes, minimalism in neutrals
13:24is the one trend you need to pay attention to right now. And I mean it. And guess what? We are in the
13:32middle of a minimalist neutral style renaissance. I know, I know, fashion magazines and editors love to
13:40shove in as many trends as possible each season. And while the industry has pushed maximal consumption
13:47for years encouraging us to buy more and chase endless micro trends, the reality is completely
13:54different. We don't actually dress in trend overload outfits every day.
13:59Instead, we choose wearable timeless pieces. Yes, with fresh updates, but still grounded in
14:07classics that never die. And after analyzing the spring summer collections, it's clear. Minimalist,
14:14neutral fashion isn't just surviving, it's dominating. Designers are embracing clean silhouettes,
14:21quality craftsmanship, and timeless colors. We are witnessing a return to intentional dressing over
14:28excess. Structured blazers, tailored trousers, slip dresses, and well-fitted basics never go out of
14:36style. Think clean lines and classic shapes that flatter different body types.
14:43The power of neutral minimalism lies in its simplicity. Shades of white, beige, taupe,
14:50gray, black, and muted earth tones create a refined and timeless foundation. But it's not just about
14:58wearing neutrals, it's about how they're combined. Tonal dressing allows for effortless mixing and
15:06matching, making every outfit look intentional and polished. By stripping away excess color, the focus
15:13shifts to silhouette, texture, and craftsmanship, proving that minimalism isn't
15:20about limitation, but about making every detail count. High quality fabrics define this aesthetic,
15:27elevating even the simplest pieces. Cashmere, silk, linen, wool, and organic cotton aren't just luxurious,
15:35they add texture and depth to an otherwise understated look. When the focus is on craftsmanship and feel,
15:42every piece becomes more than just clothing, it's an experience. Layering isn't just practical, it's an
15:50art. It adds dimension, movement, and adaptability, making neutral fashion feel anything but flat.
15:57A structured leather bag, delicate gold or silver jewelry, sleek sunglasses, or timeless loafers. Each piece serves a
16:07purpose, enhancing the outfit rather than overpowering it. Accessories in neutral minimalism aren't about
16:15excess, they're about refinement. Make sure to subscribe, because in part 2 I'll share even more
16:23unexpected trends and timeless ideas to elevate your style into 2026 and beyond.
