1. Burgundy
Last year we saw that red was the perfect pop of color to add to any outfit and that's not going anywhere - it's just getting an upgrade and this year’s must-have hue is a rich burgundy! Think of a nice bottle of red wine or the perfect winter lip color. There is no need for a complete revamp of your closet, to incorporate burgundy sustainability, look for vintage finds like wool coats, leather handbags or even a stand-out pair of boots. It can even be as simple as burgundy tights or nail polish for an easy pop.

2. Animal print
Yes, animal print is back again, and WE’RE HERE FOR IT! It’s a neutral after all, which makes it really easy to style seamlessly into any wardrobe. Whether you are going full glam with a leopard print coat or keeping it subtle with accessories, this trend has staying power. For those hesitant to go bold, start small with a printed belt or a vintage silk scarf. Shopping secondhand or borrowing from a friend’s closet ensures staying stylish and sustainable.

3. Bag Charms
Your bags deserve a little love, too! 2025 is all about accessorizing with bag charms, and this trend is perfect for a DIY moment. Repurpose old jewelry, clip on a vintage keychain, or tie a silk scarf around the handle of your favourite tote. If you really want to make your bag uniquely you, custom-making an Italian Charm Keychain to hook on it is the perfect addition!
