At the end of every year, it’s natural to look back and reflect. And this year, as always, it’s clear what a wonderful community of stylish, funny, and smart women we have. The most-loved pieces of the year only further highlight this. From crisp-button downs to slouchy cool pants, shop our best of 2025 edit now.
If there’s one thing the ITG woman loves, it’s an updated classic. And what’s more classic than the perfect button down? You loved Brochu Walker’s Everyday Shirt in the blue stripe and the brand’s Kate shirt in white with dramatic puff sleeves. In fact, you really loved blue and white for tops! Quince’s shrunken cashmere cable knit sweater and their iconic $50 crewneck were favorites as well.
This year, denim was at the top of everyone’s lists. Maybe because there was such a distinct look: dark-wash, wide leg, almost formal. Banana Republic’s wide-leg Icon jean, Zara’s high-waisted collection pair, and J.Crew’s sightly slimmer dark wash pair defined the new denim look. And, as always, Frank and Eileen’s slouchy but still chic khaki Westport pants made it to the top of the list.
One of the biggest difference this year? The rise of the leather jacket. Last year was all about the barn coat, but this year the Cool Girl staple was the most popular coat on the block. AllSaints’s sleek, biker-inspired jacket and Quince’s minimalist, cropped jacket added some edge to our everyday uniforms. Blazers, as always, were a popular item, whether it was Banana Republic’s sharp, slim cut blazer or Veronica Beard’s double-breasted iconic Dickey jacket.
When it came to shoes, the chocolate brown trend really showed up. You loved Steve Madden’s western-inspired Dusty ankle boot in dark brown, as well as Veronica Beard’s glamorous croc-embossed slingback heel.
