Nostalgic Fashion Essentials: Chloé Clogs, Printed Items, Phantom Totes - Top Purchases Still Coveted by Original Style Icons

In the world of fashion, where innovation and change are the norm, Sierra Mayhew stands out as a beacon of timeless style. As a fashion editor with a decade of industry experience, Mayhew has made her mark by blending luxury and accessible fashion, decoding runway trends, and curating must-have shopping lists.

This autumn, Mayhew shares her insights into the five newest trend articles gracing the catwalks. From strong shoulders and colorful patterns, as highlighted in maxima magazine, to the resurgence of bucket hats in various materials, such as cord, leather, and denim, there's a trend for every fashion enthusiast.

Miu Miu and Marine Serre are set to make a statement with their balaclavas, while Americana aesthetics inspire a revival of western and cowboy hats. On the footwear front, the New Balance 990v6 and Reebok Zig Kinetica II are poised to make a splash.

One item expected to take over this fall is the Celine Luggage Tote. Not just an item, but a status symbol, conversation starter, and investment that pays off season after season.

The Balenciaga City Bag, an emblem of 2000s cool-girl fashion, is now an Eastside It-girl must-have. Its grungy, worn-in leather will always be cool and fits surprisingly well. Interestingly, Anne Hathaway can be spotted carrying a vintage Coach messenger bag on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Chemena Kamali, who took the helm at Chloé, has brought back nostalgic pieces, including the iconic Chloé clogs that made their first splash in the early 2000s. The new iteration of these clogs features a worn-in feel, sometimes including doodles and sketches on the heel.

Burberry's print, once an emblem of the brand, is making a comeback. This season, it's predicted to be bigger than ever, gracing not only clothing but also accessories and even bikinis in Southern Europe.

Sites like The RealReal are becoming treasure troves of archival pieces, while the brands themselves release updated versions of these items. Mayhew's motto about fashion is "What goes around always comes around."

Gen Z fashion girls are borrowing their mothers' old Coach bags to show off the brand's classic styles. This editor's viral social content translates editorial expertise into engaging fashion for a new generation.

Remember, fashion isn't just about the latest trends; it's about investing in pieces that will stand the test of time. So, as you navigate the autumn 2025 trends, remember to keep an eye out for those timeless pieces that will become your wardrobe staples.
