Want to infuse your wardrobe with winter fashion trends for 2024 but don’t want anything that will be irrelevant by spring? Here are some versatile wardrobe essentials that will totally revamp your wardrobe while doubling as transitional winter to spring fashion in 2025.
Bottega Veneta has been totally owning the luxury handbag scene the past few seasons, and there’s no doubt this season’s dominating woven “it” bag is inspired straight from their ready-to-wear collection. In case a $4,000 handbag isn’t in this year’s budget, you can still get a taste of the trend with affordable alternatives to luxury woven bags. I just got this burgundy Commense bag through our affiliate partnership, and I have to say it’s really elevated my styling for the past week since its arrival. Army green, burgundy and red accessories are the pop colors trending for the season, or opt for brown or black if you’re investing in a real leather bag that you can wear season after season.

Speaking of color trends, brown is the new black deemed this season’s color breakout trend by Harpar’s BAZZAR, and a great transitional winter to spring fashion hue. Think of all your favorite black essentials, and then hit swipe to convert them into a rich chocolate brown. That’s your target. Blazers, jackets, knit dresses, and boots–if you have some key silhouettes you rotate in your wardrobe often, mix up your go-to grab and try reaching for the browns instead of all blacks. Let’s be honest, your wardrobe could use the mix up.

Pants and trouser trends move a little slower than some of the more fast fashion items. Rise and cut are the two big things to consider when keeping your trousers up to date. This season, wide leg continues to dominate fall trends with a ton of wide leg outfit inspo to choose from… and doesn’t appear to be slowing down into spring. Free People does some great barrel jeans if you’re into the oversized, boho look. I’ve also recently picked up some wide leg denim from Gap, Adidas, and Commense in the past few weeks that have been key essentials all season.

Looking for something more feminine? The lace maxi skirt is an “it” item of the season that pairs with anything from oversized graphic tees to sophisticated blazers and evening wear. If you want to invest in something really special, Anne Fontaine slays feminine occasion wear and has a really beautiful assortment of intricate and opulent lace maxi skirts and pants that are right on point. Not sure how much you’d wear them? I was actually surprised how often I rotated this versatile trend into my wardrobe already this season (pretty much every week since last spring), and the lightweight nature of these pieces will take you all the way through summer’s end.

The poplin skirt trend inspired fuses ballet and street style that you can easily transition from fall to spring. Layer a full gathered dress or skirt with a blazer or chunky knit sweater now. Then wear a dress solo in the spring or pair your skirt with tees for two really different, but very chic looks that can take you from office to evening wear.
