Writer-Loved After-Christmas Trending Fashion

Btfbm Bow Button-Down Cardigan Sweater

The coquette aesthetic took 2024 by storm, and my closet looks all the cuter for it. You can incorporate the must-have trend into your wardrobe with elegant pieces like this cardigan sweater that has bow button closures all down the front. Wear the top this winter by throwing it over a long-sleeve shirt or under a trench coat for an added layer of warmth.

Dream Pairs Platform Loafers

In case you didn’t notice, the ‘90s are back in a major way. My favorite trend that resurfaced from the grunge-esque era are platform shoes like these Dream Pairs loafers. The slip-on shoes are made with sleek faux leather and have a padded insole that feels comfortable while walking. Its lug sole provides some traction and gives you an added bit of height, adding to the overall stylish look. 

Levi’s 94 Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans

Speaking of the ‘90s, oversized clothing made a massive comeback, and it’ll continue to be on trend well into 2025. I like to include the loose-fitting style in my wardrobe in a variety of ways, like say, with these Levi’s wide-leg jeans. The baggy pants are designed with a high waistband, straight legs, and a relaxed fit that offers plenty of breathing room. Pro tip: Size up for an even more comfortable feel.

Gap Icon Denim Jacket

Denim is a timeless, versatile fabric that’s ideal for designing pants, vests, and of course, jackets. But why wear the pieces alone when you can style ‘em together? One of my favorite ways to wear it is as a Canadian tuxedo. Grab your favorite jeans and this Gap denim jacket for the ultimate all-American look. The classic jacket is designed with a collar, button-down closure, and long sleeves with adjustable cuffs. I like to wear it over a plain white T-shirt for a classic look. 

Franco Sarto Racer Slingback Pumps

Très chic! I can’t get enough of these French-inspired Franco Sarto slingback pumps that have a round toe, open back, and mini block heel that look sophisticated, no matter how you style them. I like to wear mine with a dress and tights for dinner or with a blouse and trousers for the office. Take your pick from 23 colors, including black leather, putty cream, and champagne satin.

Madewell The Sculptural-Buckle Shoulder Bag

Micro bags and mini purses were the accessory of the season, and I expect more of the same in 2025 (but with a little more room to spare). This Madewell shoulder bag is the perfect blend of a spacious tote and compact handbag with its roomy interior that has enough space to carry your lip balm, wallet and headphones. Plus, it has an adjustable shoulder strap to loosen or tighten as needed. 

Bianstore Quilted Puffer Jacket

I’ve been wearing quilted puffers for years, and I’ve seen several others do the same in 2024 with jackets like this one. The versatile piece is designed with a lightweight puffer material that keeps you warm without weighing you down. You can wear it to various occasions like on hikes, for travel days, and at brunch with friends. 

PrettyGarden High-Waisted Wide-Leg Trousers

Burgundy is this season’s “it” color, and I believe that’ll remain true until spring. Take part in the trend by investing in a capsule wardrobe piece like these palazzo pants that come in a deep red hue. The trousers are ideal for office days and semi-formal events thanks to its high waist, pleated fabric, and wide legs.
