Trend 1: Cherry-coded picks

Much like how we love burgundy pieces for the fall and winter, deep-cherry is one of the on-trend colors for the new year. Showcase the color in your accessories and wardrobe pieces, from dresses to shoes and beyond!

Trend 2: Textured jackets

It's no secret that blazers are a year-round wardrobe staple. This year, we're loving a textured style, like these velvet blazers from H&M and J.Crew, to add a little extra something to your look.

Buccio reminded us not to shy away from pastels for the winter, like her J.Crew lilac pick. "This is such a demure way to add some brightness to that dreary winter season," she said.

If you're not ready to commit, you can rent a statement piece from Nuuly, like this Avec Les Filles melon-colored option.

Trend 3: Castle-core

Style these "Castle-core," baroque-inspired pieces for a feminine look this new year. Think corsets, opulence and floral dresses with vintage details.

Trend 4: Fisherman-chic

Buccio thinks this fisherman-chic will take off for 2025 because "it's an accessible trend that's also comfortable, it's chic [and] there's a tad of that winter nautical look that's refreshing too."

Accomplish the look with cable-knit waters, fisherman sandals, Fair Isle patterns and rugged boots.

Trend 5: Denim accessories

We'll forever love a denim-on-denim ensemble, and now we're incorporating denim accessories into our wardrobes, too. Opt for everything from a denim satchel to a denim crossbody bag and beyond.
