The Who What Wear Winter Shopping List—36 Buys Our Editors Are Ordering This Season "With 2025 upon us, we’re in shopping mode for the upcoming year. Major trends from the S/S 25 runways are trickling into both retailers and the wardrobes of fashion insiders—including a shift toward opulent maximalism and soft romance and the rise of modern heirloom pieces and more considered purchases that are intended to be high-quality and long-lasting. So how is that translating to what fashion people are adding to their carts? Interested in getting a preview of the exact pieces Who What Wear fashion editors will be wearing in 2025, I asked our team to share the items they will order this winter and favorites already sitting in their closets. Their picks include everything from investment-worthy outerwear and bags to directional finds that tap into the biggest trends of the season. Editors are also taking this as a moment to reflect on any shifts in their personal style and how that will impact their shopping picks for the year ahead. Here is the Who What Wear winter shopping list, put together by our editors."   "Rumor has it that the loud luxury fashion aesthetic is making its way into the spotlight, but I'm not going to give in to the trend. This winter, I'm committed to a minimalist capsule wardrobe that focuses on classic yet semi-modern, reliable pieces I can wear repeatedly and never tire of. This means opting for a high-V-neck sweater that is simple yet impactful, tailored trousers I can dress up and down, and a cinched wool coat that is polished and practical."   SHOP THE LOOK: Margiela Pleated Front Pant - $178.00 Sizes: XS - XL Color: Grey Shop Rue Sophie’s Pants collection.
