Sharing 3 of 2025’s Hottest Trends + A New Video Featuring The Biggest Red Flags When Dating Over 50

First on my list of 2025’s hottest trends is east-west handbags! You may be wondering what that term means, which it basically means a handbag with a long, thin strap in the middle that gives it a sculptural silhouette. The name comes from the bag’s appearance, which looks like it’s stretched from east to west and are a modern take on the classic baguette bag. Cathy and I are both wearing a sleek black leather option from Staud with a streamlined silhouette and spacious interior.

If the handbag above is too heavy of an initial investment into this trend, no worries! I found an affordable alternative from Mango with the same silhouette and strap placement for a fraction of the price. The biggest differences are the material and the under $70 price point, which is an amazing value IMO! Whichever option speaks to you, you’ll be right on trend with either of these stylish handbags.

Next on my list of 2025’s hottest trends is grey denim! This is one denim wash we are seeing literally everywhere this year, and both Cathy and I are here for it! If you want to be on the cutting edge and look fabulous while doing it then I suggest this loose-fit high-rise 90’s silhouette. The looser fit is crazy comfortable and the faded gray wash is great for any time of year. I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.

No.3 on my list of 2025’s hottest trends is the infamous bomber jacket. This ivory option from Evereve is excellent for spring and has a very decent price point. We love the ribbing along the cuffs and neckline and the perfectly relaxed fit. We’re both wearing an XS and we find it fits true to size.
