From Suede to Leopard Print, 2025's Most Dominant Skirt Trends Are Here SHOP GRAY SKIRTS: Image from Who What Wear "With a new year comes the desire for a whole new wardrobe. Trust me, I know the feeling. But also trust me that giving away everything in your closet only to buy a whole heap of new items you'll probably donate again next January is not the answer. Revamping your sartorial rotation calls for strategy, and I have a few that I like to employ every year around this same time. My favorite: Getting out of your jeans, trousers, and leggings comfort zone and investing in a few cool, 2025 skirt trends that can make your wardrobe appear wholly different than it was in 2024 without all the hassle of selling off its entire contents to make room for a fresh fashion fleet. Skirts are powerful like that. I'd know—at this point, they're practically all I wear. Fortunately for anyone who's ready to follow my lead, this year's skirt trends are already set to be some of the best—like ever. On the S/S 25 runways, designers got creative in the skirting department, introducing interesting textures, patterns, and silhouettes, all capable of turning what would have been a (sorry) boring T-shirt and jeans or trousers look into an ensemble worth showing off again and again.

Here’s Everything to Style with Winter Dresses "Getting dressed in a cold-weather outfit to face ice-cold temperatures can be challenging. Multiple layers of clothing are often involved: Jeans shimmied over thermal pants or T-shirts and long-sleeve base layers shoved under sweaters. There's so much involved that you might need to pause and catch your breath after assembling your outfit. But there’s a more straightforward, streamlined solution to getting dressed for the elements. I’m talking about the best winter dresses that practically style themselves. Style a great dress with the latest boot trends and a warm jacket or coat, and you will have a foolproof blueprint for a capsule wardrobe collection. I’ve handpicked various street-style-inspired winter dress outfits, from casual knit styles that you can pair with teddy coats and sneakers to upscale satin dresses that look great with sleek blazers and heels.   Late-Night Look For your next evening outing, take a figure-hugging dress for a spin. Complete the look with a floor-sweeping cream coat and a pair of slingback heels, and this getup will become your new going-out outfit."   SHOP THE LOOK: Gaultier Tailored Wool Coat - $398.00 Sizes: XXS - XL Color: Creme / Bordeaux Explore the Jackets & Coats collection here.  Read full article -  Marie Claire

The "Ultra-High Net Worth" Top That Chic People Are Wearing in NYC and Copenhagen "Capes! Funnel necks! Built-in scarves! The fall/winter 2024 season has brought an explosion of new ideas on what kind of neckline we should be wearing, and there was one common theme that tied all of these trends together: The higher the neck, the better. Whether that means swaddling in a cape, wrapping yourself up in a scarf top, or styling yourself in something with a funnel neck, this season is proving that the number one way to achieve a luxurious—and, dare we say, expensive-looking—effect lies in your neckline silhouette. Right now, it seems everyone is reaching for a high-neckline top, and there's no denying how much of a rich vibe the style adds.   Like every fashion person right now, we're in search of all the ways we can maximize how refined and sophisticated our outfits look, and reaching for one of these tops just might be the easiest way to achieve it. When it comes to specific styles defining the trend, funnel-neck blouse and roll-neck style are leading the pack as the most in-demand pieces. In addition to funnel-neck styles, blouses with heavy draping as well as scarf tops are quickly emerging as It buys. It's safe to say these high-neckline tops are officially the most elegant trend of winter 2024. See how they're styled on and off the runway and shop our editors' picks."

Despite this, recreating Amanda’s outfits is even simpler than popping down to the high street retailer. Simply shop with these cardinal rules: close-hugging knits, polished bottoms and neutral tones. “The whole palette is very simple. There’s not a lot of prints. It’s very subtle. It’s beautiful to look at against the background,” Stewart says. Without further ado, GRAZIA guides you through the pieces designed to channel your inner Amanda."
