Classic Style Is My Go-To, Yet I'm Still Purchasing These 7 Trendy Pieces

      As a fashion editor (or maybe because I am one), I tend to be quite selective when it comes to trends. I even think my standards have become higher over the years (my stuffed closet has a part in that). While my wardrobe leans towards more classic styles lately, I still find it hard to resist picking up a few trendy pieces at the beginning of each season. Honestly, there are numerous appealing options for spring 2025, so I've made a selection for practical reasons (and to share with you, of course). Below, I’ve compiled a list of trendy trends that will entice even those of us who prefer a classic look. Sometimes, I feel a bit uninspired, and indulging in trendy items occasionally brings excitement, which is my motivation at the moment. So, keep scrolling to explore some contemporary shopping that will add a fun touch to your classic outfits and fit the season.
