Oh, if you could see 2010 me and my 32 Facebook albums with hundreds of “going out tops.” Here’s what I wish I knew sooner:
1. Trends Die Fast
That “must-have” trending on TikTok? Cringe in six months. Stick to relaxed jeans, a tailored blazer, and timeless loafers.
2. Logos = Loud. Luxe = Quiet.
If it screams designer, it’s trying too hard. Opt for clean lines, neutral tones, and rich textures.
3. Oversized is Chic—Until It Swallows You
One loose piece at a time: baggy jeans or an oversized blazer. Not both, unless drowning is the goal.
4. Be Wary of Cheap Accessories
An $8 Amazon bag looks great online, most likely tragic in real life. Go for structured leather and real gold jewelry (Mejuri, Pavoi, Polène).
5. Sneakers Are the New Flats
Sambas, Onitsuka Tigers, and New Balance 550s > Blister-inducing heels. Wear them with tailored trousers or midi skirts.
6. Red is 2025’s Power Move
Ballet flats, a bag, or nails—this year’s hottest outfit hack is a pop of red.
7. Buy for Your Real Life
No, you don’t need five sequin dresses “just in case.” Invest in wearable-today items.
TLDR:
If it pinches, rides up, or makes you miserable—you’re wearing the wrong thing. Smart, timeless, comfortable = the 2025 style formula.
