2025 is almost upon us, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was ready for it. This year has treated me well, but I’m ready to embrace the (almost) clean slate that comes with a brand new year. With this may bring a temptation to shop—I know this because I work at Who What Wear UK and we see our readers’ fashion interest peak at the start of any new season, let alone a fresh year. However, I’m here to ward you off.
While you should absolutely treat yourself to something new should you fancy it, I firmly believe that, with a few small tweaks to your outfits, that you can basically create a more current-looking ensemble with pieces you already own but that tap into big spring/summer 2025 fashion trends.
Intrigued? I thought you might be. Below I’ve charted eight such outfits which utilise pieces I reckon many of us will have to hand in one way, shape or form. So, if you’re keen to hit a small reset on your style, scroll on to see eight outfit trends that you can use to inform your 2025 looks without spending a penny. Of course, I’ve shopped out the core pieces should you want to invest in any—as I said, this is Who What Wear UK.
