Anyone else planning their A/W 2025 wardrobe?

Ket

I am so satisfied with how my spring/summer wardrobe turned out, that I'm curious to see if and how my autumn/winter wardrobe will turn out for next year.

This year I used a mix of Pinterest and intuition to put together my S/S 2025 closet. It was surprisingly wonderful! This is the first time I've done such a thing. It allowed me to:

make more conscious purchases
assess and plan better for wardrobe "holes"
shop sales and resale sites
budget better
try new styles and ideas

--all while wearing clothing styles I've loved or eyed for the last couple years. With the exception of a couple items (ruffled skirt, I'm pining for you), I got almost everything on my list. Still had some flops but relatively small compared to my wins. Waiting to see what and how much of my wardrobe will be worn this summer.

So... can this work again for my autumn/winter wardrobe? I am a bit nervous or hesitant to trust this process will work twice. But I'm also curious to try again. I'm not quite in the mood for autumn/winter clothing, especially after waking up to 3-5 inches of snow this morning. And yet, I have been slowly exploring my needs and wants for next autumn/winter. I'm rather excited! Will hopefully post more about it down the road. (Feels too early to be talking about it in detail? :} ) It involves a lot of 1970s, Outlander, and modern luxe trends. Could be very interesting or it could be a mess. TBD.

Anyone else exploring autumn/winter 2025 already? I know some of our fellow Fabbers in the Southern Hempishere are probably entering their autumn season.

I'm not heavily focusing on autumn/winter yet. I only have two items on my list so far:

Olive green pants-to replace a pair that were retired at the end of last season
Lilac top for fuchsia blazer-not sure this is a fall item, but it's the only other item on my shopping list after my recent WIW post with a graphic tee and my fuchsia blazer

I won't really start thinking about autumn/winter until closer to NAS. I use NAS as the time to start my autumn/winter shopping. We have a long summer season, so my focus will be on hot weather clothing for a while.

Absolutely not! When I dream of outfits, I dream of wearing my shorts and sleeveless tops! Mostly I’m dreaming of my garden - which is just waking up.

Nope not planning ahead, or maybe Yup feeding my subconscious with the runway images from the recent fashion month. I don't have shopping lists per se, but I do form shop my closet lists of what I am in the mood to wear and they are surely informed by any Fall content I might see.

A bit early for me. Though it certainly is fun to look at runway collections and Hope some styles trickle down to my price point!

Yes, because I'm in the Southern Hemisphere!

I imagine I have almost the opposite problem to you. Summer (and high Summer at that) is my dominant season. Whenever there is even the sniff of colder temps, I am so ready to throw on coats, scarves, boots and hats because I am so over Summer, but the reality is - I don't need too much.

The inspiration for my Fall/Winter update was my favourite summer outfit - the leopard print skirt and top, as soon as I saw the long velvet coat I wanted it to get more wear from the leopard skirt and top. The shearling loafers are from a local boutique and are as comfy as slippers and a fun everyday winter shoe. The printed dress is cotton, an easy item to wear throughout the year, sandals in Spring, boots and loafers in Fall/Winter and works well with a denim jacket or the velvet coat. The scarf and bag are souvenirs from a trip to Japan in January and fit seamlessly into my wardrobe. Not shown is a pair of wide-leg dark denim jeans, which are lightweight and are already a wardrobe workhorse.

All of the items I have bought have not been planned, being items I found from local retail (or on holiday). When I bought them, I thought about how they would work in my wardrobe and whether they would make me feel fab when wearing them.
