There’s something so refreshing about an anti-trend piece. In a world where fashion seems to move faster than ever, I love finding items that feel timeless and immune to the constant churn. These are the pieces that work across seasons, fit seamlessly into your existing wardrobe, and never make you feel like you’re trying too hard. They’re the MVPs of my closet and, I suspect, of yours too.

As we look ahead to 2025, I can already tell which styles will stand the test of time. From minimalistic tailoring to refined staples like leather jackets and perfectly slouchy trousers, these are the items that keep popping up on my radar. Whether you’re building a capsule wardrobe or simply looking for something that won’t feel dated in a year, these picks are the ultimate investment.

1. Bootcut Jeans

Not too skinny, not too baggy—bootcut jeans have a perfectly timeless flared cut. They’re back, but this time around, they’re less about boho vibes and more about polished ease. Style them with tailored blazers, structured knits, and a hint of quiet luxury.

The smallest details make the biggest impact. Heirloom-worthy rings, vintage earrings, delicate lockets, and gilded touches that feel steeped in nostalgia—they’re all things that will easily elevate your outfit.

4. Classic Loafers

Classic loafers are the definition of timeless cool, and they effortlessly bridge the gap between polished and laid-back, no matter what they’re paired with. I’m thinking we should add cool socks to the ensemble.

Oversize sunglasses are the easiest way to channel instant glamour. Whether shielding you from the sun or just the world, they add an air of mystery that never goes out of style. A cool, mysterious pair will instantly elevate any outfit.

A floor-sweeping coat is the ultimate main-character move—dramatic in length but effortless in attitude. Whether thrown over jeans or draped over eveningwear, it adds instant polish with a side of mystery.

Pretty flats are the quiet luxury shoes that keep proving their staying power. Flats are redefining everyday elegance, swapping out practicality for a touch of romance with delicate details and modern shapes. Whether paired with relaxed denim or a sharp knee-length skirt, they add an effortless charm that feels both nostalgic and new.

9. Pencil Skirts

Pencil skirts are stepping back into the spotlight with a fresh, unfussy attitude—less corporate, more cool. Since everyone loves maxi skirts, I’m calling this an unexpected staple in the anti-trend category.
