As fashion editors, we are constantly reporting on latest trends in the fashion world, but how often do we highlight the trends we’re actually excited about? Not as much as we would like.
With the arrival of the New Year, I decided now was the time to utilize our amazing team – from the vibrant streets of NYC to the stunning landscapes of North Carolina and beyond. I wanted to highlight which styles and aesthetics they are most looking forward to adopting in 2025.
While I anticipated some overlap, given that editors’ picks for who wears what are generally similar, I was pleased to see a pleasant diversity of enthusiasm for different trends.
If we say so ourselves, you won’t regret investing in any of our top picks for 2025. So, without further ado, keep scrolling to find out (and shop) the editor-approved trends that have us excited for the new year.

“The S/S 25 runways of Khaite, Tory Burch and Miu Miu confirmed that peep toes are going to be a thing in 2025. It’s been a while since we’ve seen this trend, so this feels especially refreshing So far, I’m seeing mostly peep-toe pumps on the market, but it will be interesting to see what other shoe types brands utilize the peep-toe trend in the coming seasons.” – Alison Pair

“The vibrant and fiery red trend of 2024 was eye-catching, but I’m ready to embrace a softer palette this year. I’m excited about the mesmerizing powder pink color Which made headlines for Spring/Summer 2025. This delicate and romantic shade has graced the collections of renowned designers like Miu Miu, Alaïa and Khaite, making it a true standout. What I love most about powder pink is its versatility – it’s perfect for a head-to-toe eye-catching look without being overwhelming to the senses. Plus, it matches beautifully with other colors like grey, lavender, black and white, creating endless mix and match possibilities. I can’t wait to see how this dreamy color will transform my wardrobe.” -Nikki Chwat

“Sculpt pumps have become somewhat of an addiction for me. Once I had my first pair, I couldn’t get enough. Even though I don’t have room for any more shoes in my closet, I still have a few of my favorite designers. I enjoy looking at some of the pairs that have hit the market recently, it seems like every brand is trending at the moment and the best part is that they are easy to wear, if you want your shoe collection to be a work of art. How do you do it? Are.” -Sierra May
