From The Designer Collab You’ll Love To The Perfect £45 Knit, Here’s The Best Of The New-In Sections

I really cannot stress enough the significance of a truly brilliant blazer in any wardrobe. This oversized fit from Acne is perfect – it won't overwhelm you but has all the right proportions – and will look great over a ribbed knit and jeans or slung over your favourite midi to smarten it up. If you really want to welcome 2025 with open arms, however, I'd suggest pairing with the matching trousers, for one of the most stylish iterations of the suit you'll find this season.

I'm not a jeans girl by nature but even I feel excited by the prospect of COS's new denim. While technically a straight leg fit, this pair is slouchy, too, giving you extra comfort without sacrificing on style. This is the easy (and chic) way to try a low-rise, which is one noughties trend that just won't quit at the moment.

Already, 2025 is awash with buzzy fashion collabs and the latest iteration of On's partnership with Loewe is leading that charge. This time, there's a fresh new design available in various colour combos, although some are selling faster than others. The moral of the story? Get these while you still can.

With its contrast stitching, this cardigan has luxe vibes with a very affordable £35 price tag. Wear with wide leg trousers for work, or try over a crisp white shirt and Mango's leggings (below) finished with Gucci's new pumps.

Comfort and style don't have to be mutually exclusive, which is possibly why Claudia Winkleman's outfits on The Traitors have proved so popular. One of the mainstays of her wardrobe is a great pair of leggings, of which this Mango pair is a great example. A kind of legging/trouser hybrid, these will look especially chic with loafers or pumps, oversized shirts and your favourite knit (see also: Acne's blazer, above).

ICYMI, Gucci's Horsebit pumps are already the ballet flat du jour, having been spotted on the likes of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Alexa Chung. The latest iteration to arrive is this dark green suede pair, which will require much less maintenance than Gucci's pink satin style. Wear with Mango's leggings and many layers now but then, come spring, try with cropped denim and a simple white T-shirt.

The longer version of this coat sold out in almost no time at all, so it stands to reason that this down-filled jacket will follow in its footsteps. Available in blue, olive green, black or natural, it will go over everything and still look good. Plus, it's about the warmest thing you could wear outside, short of removing your duvet from your bed and taking it with you.

If you're yet to find that perfect dress which suits both day and night, consider your search over for now. It's long length, knitted finish and long sleeves make it suitable for working weekdays (for those without a strict dress code), particularly when paired with knee-high boots and a long wool coat. For evening, the off-shoulder neckline and fitted bodice give it just the right amount of sex appeal – switch boots for pointed kitten heels.

You would have to have been living off-grid not to notice the ubiquity of suede bags at present. In fact, there are so many that we really are spoilt for choice, making it difficult to select just one style in which to invest. Thank goodness, then, for Arket's flat, slouchy style, which ticks all my boxes of having enough space for everything I need without being so big it's a burden to carry. Plus, the shape is one of the chicest I've seen yet.

Buttercup shades are big news at the moment, which happily brings a whispering of spring to January. This jumper will pair perfectly with jeans or high-waisted trousers but it will also make for the ideal ensemble when matched with Damson Madder's kilt skirt (below) and Prada's new leather loafers.

Kilts are enjoying something of a renaissance of late and this Damson Madder style is an easy way to wear one. Pair with a fluffy knit and loafers or try with sheer tights, pointed pumps and a translucent top for a more sensual take on the trend.

If classic loafers are too preppy for your tastes, consider Russell&Bromley's clompier take on the traditional shoe. Available in black leather or brown suede (a trending finish at the moment), these are comfortable enough to wear all day and night.

It's never too early to invest in a brilliant trench coat, which is exactly what this is. Layer over chunky knits and fleece jackets now, which can all be removed come spring, leaving you with the perfect outer layer. It has a contrasting checked lining and an extra wide belt, which both help to elevate this classic style.

You've probably seen striped polos around recently (they were prevalent in JW Anderson's latest collection for Uniqlo, for example) but ALIGNE has gone one step further and created the striped polo dress. Layer over lightweight rollnecks with long boots and consider this your problem-solving outfit which you can throw on in the morning without much thought, safe in the knowledge you look super-chic.
