Although we are coming very close to the date, if you are still looking for some last-minute things to put on your Christmas list, the perfect option is clothes, because who doesn’t need more clothes? Here are some of what I think are going to be popular asks for Christmas 2025.
1. Garage Sweat Sets
Garage sweat sets are some of the bests out there. They are the perfect thing to keep you warm for the rest of the winter. On days where you feel lazy and don’t know what to wear, you can throw on a sweat set and instantly feel more put together, while also staying comfortable. The Garage sets are particularly good because of the wonderful range of colors they have, and they are all cute. Some of my favorites are Midnight Blue, Teal Tease, and the Sour Cherry Burgundy. On top of that, you could get neutral colors and mix and match them if you really wanted to, but I think the fun colors are more, well, fun.
2.Hoka Sneakers
Every time I talk to someone who owns these sneakers, they say that Hokas are the best thing to ever happen to them. If you like to go for walks or run, these are good options. They are also good at work because of how comfy they are. Someone even said they stopped having foot pain completely after buying Hokas to walk around in. I have no way to confirm that, but I believe her because of all the good credit these shoes have. These also come in a lot of cute colors, but I love the classic white that you could wear with anything.
3.Uggs
These are classic Christmas gifts. Perfect for winter. While all my other friends are complaining about how cold their feet are, mine stay nice and warm in the cold. There are also many different styles so you can pick your favorite. Be careful because these defiantly sell out around Christmas time. If you want more info, go read my article on Uggs vs Birkenstocks.
4.Scarves
I don’t have a specific brand for you, but these are coming back in style. If you look on Pinterest, you’ll probably see girls putting together city outfits, and they never fail to have a warm, thick scarf, added to their outfit. I’m going to be honest; I’ve tried wearing a scarf in the city, and I didn’t really feel like it did anything in terms of keeping me warm. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but they are very cute and are an easy layer to add to an outfit.
5.Parke Hoodies
In my opinion, these are very overpriced. However, when I see someone wear one, I still get jealous of how cute they look. It’s interesting seeing this sweatshirt get popular because of its unique mock neck. You don’t see a lot of those anymore so it’s nice and refreshing watching more people wear them. This is another piece that you can throw on when you’re feeling lazy in the morning and still look nice.
6.Knee-high boots
Everyone is wearing knee knee-high boots again and I love it! They look so cute in the winter with a short skirt or dress and some tights on underneath. These are another popular wear in NYC. Ask for a comfortable pair, and you will never be lacking a nice outfit to wear to dinner, parties, or shows.
7.Matching Pajama sets
Should we count pajamas on a clothes list? Maybe not. Am I going to? Yes, because you deserve a cute matching set to wear to bed. There are a lot of different pajama sets you can get; some are more expensive than others, but my favorites are the Victoria Secret ones. All the colors are cute, but the best color way is the classic pink and white stripes. I did see a pair online at one point that had wings on the back, now I cannot find them. Let me know if you see them because I am in love with them.
8.Gap Sweatshirts
I need to stop talking about sweat sets, but I am seeing so many people walking around in the bright pink Gap hoodies and I had to add it to this list. I really do like when it’s paired with the matching pink sweatpants, even though it’s such a bright color. It’s somehow neon without being too overpowering so it brings just the right amount of attention to your outfit. After exploring online, I did see a lot more colors and styles so if you don’t like the crazy pink, but like the fit of the hoodie, then there are other options to choose from.
9.Aerie snap pull over
You may think you don’t know what this is but look it up, you definitely do. So many girls have been wearing it lately. While it’s not my favorite thing on this list, they look super cute and comfy in it. If you are a fan of Aerie and like a comfy but cute basic style this is a perfect thing to add.
10.Socks
We all need more socks, right? Or is that just me.
