#1: COLOR DRENCH YOUR LOOKS
Unlike color blocking (wearing bold, contrasting colors together), color drenching in fashion refers to stacking several tones of one color in the same outfit. The effect? A more casual but refined finish compared to color blocking – think a burgundy dress and oxblood heels, or layering shades of beige and cream to give dimension.

#4: CHOOSE STATEMENT JEWELRY
Bold jewelry is going to be big for 2025. Get ahead by layering your pieces and opt for heavier shapes – think bangles, hoop earrings and chunky chains – in rich gold tones that complement the palette and create a striking contrast with the softness of the fabrics.
