The 30 Key Items That Will Shape Winter 2025 Fashion

      While I dread the thought of walking home from the subway at 6 p.m. in the biting cold and pitch-black darkness, I do look forward to the array of cold-weather clothing, footwear, and accessories that come with reduced daylight and the inevitability of slush in New York City. Winter is on its way, folks, and it’s high time we acknowledge it. By that, I mean we should start determining what to purchase for the upcoming season. Luckily, there’s an abundance of must-have items that are warm, cozy, and very stylish, ensuring you can remain chic regardless of the often inaccurate readings from your weather app. For winter 2025, the standout items include Prada Fair Isle sweaters and $80 dark-wash jeans, with plenty of options in between to complete your wardrobe. Consider furry stoles, coats endorsed by Jennifer Lawrence, and the new Uggs that stars like Kaia Gerber and Bella Hadid are already wearing consistently. (I have them too, and I can affirm they’re totally regret-proof.) And that’s just the beginning. For your comprehensive guide to winter 2025 shopping, keep reading. You won't want to miss this seasonal treat.

      **Adidas x Wales Bonner**

      **Karintha Satin Sneakers**

      Whenever Grace Wales Bonner unveils a new pair of Adidas sneakers, excitement ensues. Her collaborations consistently sell out, and this new satin style is no exception. Both the blue and black versions are nearly sold out at Adidas, but Moda Operandi still has sizes available. Hurry!

      **Almada Label**

      **Deja Doublé Coat**

      Who wouldn’t want to snag Jennifer Lawrence's favorite coat for fall and winter? This is the Deja Doublé Coat, which the actress wore around New York City, showcasing its East Coast winter readiness.

      **Prada**

      **Wool and Cashmere Cardigan**

      A Fair Isle sweater for winter? Groundbreaking. However, the fit and color palette of this Prada cardigan are particularly trendy right now, likely encouraging other brands to adopt this cold-weather pattern as the season approaches.

      **Gap**

      **High Rise '90s Loose Jeans**

      When Hailey Bieber, who can pull off jeans from virtually any brand, starts wearing her Gap jeans repeatedly, you know they’re a win. She’s been sporting the low-rise variant of this $80 pair, but this newer high-rise option is set to dominate this winter.

      **MANGO**

      **Patent Leather Flat Shoes**

      If you’ve spent as much time as I have regretting not purchasing Chanel's sold-out patent-leather moccasins from last winter, you’re in luck. A similar pair has just arrived at Mango, perfect for this holiday season. Imagine pairing them with fun socks or tights with a miniskirt or dress for festive occasions. I can already hear the compliments.

      **ZARA**

      **100% Leather Long Gloves**

      A pair of genuine leather gloves is a winter necessity. They not only provide warmth but also elevate any outfit with elegance. Extra points if you find an elbow-length pair in burgundy that’s under $150. Oh wait, I just did.

      This dress has already sold out once in navy blue—make sure this winter-white version doesn’t follow the same path before you grab it in your size. It’s a great investment, suitable for year-round wear, with tights and boots in winter or kitten-heel mules in spring.

      **Alexandre de Paris**

      **Hair Comb**

      Following The Row's recent show, all anyone can discuss are the updos featuring French hair combs like this one from Alexandre de Paris. Want to keep your hair stylishly away from the wind? This is the solution, backed by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's endorsement.

      **The Row**

      **Alger Geometric Shoulder Bag in Leather**

      Speaking of The Row, the brand's new Alger shoulder bag is fast becoming a popular alternative to the Margaux. Kendall Jenner has been seen with hers for weeks, and Elsa Hosk was recently spotted with one too. It’s currently sold out on the brand's website, but don’t worry. We found it available elsewhere.

      **Helsa**

      **The Schoolhouse Jacket in Suede**

      With her Alger bag, Elsa Hosk stylishly wore this trending green suede jacket from Helsa. Green jackets have steadily gained popularity, with versions from Burberry and Prada appearing on the streets of Paris and the runways of Milan.

      **ZARA**

      **Zw Collection Combination Skirt**

      The double-layer skirt trend is making its way into winter, and unlike the summer and fall iterations, you can acquire this one for an affordable $90. Zara just released this chic black-and-white style, truly too good to miss.

      **Jimmy Fairly**

      **Elvie Sunglasses**

      Fancy the sunglasses every It girl in Paris and New York is wearing right now? The Elvie from French eyewear brand Jimmy Fairly is the
