Check out my top favorite Gap finds for completing your most stylish winter outfits!

Gap

The Extra Heavyweight Hoodie That Hoodies

I own this hoodie in the butter yellow colorway, and I was instantly impressed by the quality. Its 'extra heavyweight' promise holds true – the material is thick and durable, but has just the right amount of slouch to it so it's not overly structured. The lack of traditional hoodie strings makes it feel upscale, which is perfect for any cozy winter 'fit.

Gap

Organic Cotton Poplin Barrel Sleeve Cropped Shirt

This cotton poplin shirt reminds me so much of something DÔEN would sell, but while the famed brand's tops near $200 a pop, this Gap version is only $47. Plus, you can take an extra 30% off with code 'GREAT'. Score!

Gap

Mesh Midi Dress

Though it's sheer, this meshy midi dress makes the perfect addition atop some cozy winter layers. Holiday gathering season is upon us, and this pick will def get the party started.

Gap

Cropped Pointelle Cardigan

The button-up design on this lightweight cardi means you can play with multiple ways to wear it. The hem hits at just the right spot to pair with mid- or low-rise jeans.

Gap

Strapless Denim Jumpsuit

This easy one-and-done jumpsuit is sooo flattering. It snugly hugs the torso before falling into a wide-leg silhouette that'll wear super well with your go-to winter boots. Layered up with a cardigan or not, you'll be making a style statement wherever you go.

Gap

High Rise Barrel Jeans

Barrel jeans are one of the hottest jean shapes of 2024 – rock the trend with this style that's shoppable in 8 different washes!

Gap

BiStretch Strapless Vest

Your new office BFF, now in the shape of a sleek strapless vest. Pair it with a blazer and you're set up for immediate success!

Gap

Oversized Mixed Cable-Knit Sweater

Cable knit is timeless, so you can wear this cozy pick year after year. After year. Seriously – the soft, slouchy cotton will hold up tremendously well.

Gap

High Rise Braided '70s Flare Jeans

I love that these wide-leg jeans have some '70s flair but still feel up-to-date for today's fashion trends. They'd look absolutely stunning (they def do the booty some favors) on a night out!

Gap

Leopard Denim Chore Jacket

Hello, leopard print! If your winter outfits are craving a little extra oomph, this patterned piece is sure to do the trick.

We've been loving all the cute winter outfits we've seen this year and can't wait to see how others express their personal style in 2025. We're sure some people will continue going for the 'quiet luxury' look while others may prefer to re-vamp the mob wife trend. Whatever works for you is A-okay with us — except if you plan to wear outdated shoe trends.

There are just some pieces of fashion that should remain in the land of nostalgia instead of forcing them to be trendy again — and we know just what they are.

Find out which outdated shoe trends to stay away from in 2025

There aren't any rules stopping you from wearing these shoes, but they may raise an eyebrow or two. This is one of those times where we're not pretending we'll listen without judging.

1. Wedge Styles

José Martin Segura Benites

As popular as these shoes were, it’s time to officially retire them. They have a way of reverting an outfit back to the early to mid-2000s and we’d love to not be reminded of our nights spent walking on sticky floors in a dark, sweaty club.

2. Shoes Without Heels

Jeffrey Campbell

We still can’t believe this was once a coveted trend, but we’re not afraid to admit we bought into it. Though we haven’t seen anyone wear heelless shoes in a while, we sincerely pray no one thinks about revamping them in 2025. They deserve to remain a nostalgic piece of fashion we hardly ever talk about.

3. Excessively Chunky Heels

Fashion Nova

There’s a chunky heel and then there’s something that looks like a walking cinder block. In a perfect world, we’d abolish the latter so they never see the light of day again. But, we know someone is still making heels that can cause serious damage if someone steps the wrong way so we’ll say this: try not to bring them into 2025.

4. Sequin + Glitter Shoes

Amazon

These were once one of the ultimate party girl shoes, but nothing says outdated quite like all-over sequin shoes. It doesn’t matter if it’s your birthday or not, wearing them is a style faux pas in 2025. The only time they’d be acceptable is if you’re going to an 80s-themed party.

5. Patent Leather Boots

José Martin Segura Benites

It almost pains us to say this but patent boots are officially on the outdated list. They were once considered the ‘cool girl’ shoe to wear. Now they unfortunately scream, “I’m stuck in my late teens to early twenties and I’m not ready to let go.”

6. Dominatrix Style Boots

Fashion Nova

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wearing knee or thigh high boots. However, we’d love to see less of the dominatrix style. Unless you’re headed to fashion week and are working with a stylist to convey a certain look, please skip this outdated trend in 2025. We'd hate to see you appear on someone's 'worst-dressed' list.

Break out your wallets because I have the best sweaters you should be wearing this fall and winter! If I sound overly confident it's because I genuinely love to shop and have every knit style you can think of in my closet. From cardigans to the dreaded — but stylish! — turtleneck options, I could become a sweater connoisseur.

Since I'm not willing to give up my day job for that title just yet, here's the best no-fail trends that look good on everyone. Plus I added a few shoppable options for anyone who doesn't have time to find the best picks for each trend.

Cozy Sweater Trends For All Body Types

1. Cable Knit

Jasmine Williams

I know it's fall when I start seeing cable knit sweaters appear online and in-store. I sound like a broken record, but they're a classic staple that everyone should have in their closets because they're:

  • Unisex
  • Cozy
  • Flattering

You can always go for the oversized When Harry Met Sally look, or you can opt for a sleeker fit. The choice is always yours, but here's a little inspo if you're not sure which cable knit sweaters to get:

Amazon

Oversized Cable Knit Sweater

The burgundy trend is alive and practically running fall — hence this beautiful cable knit sweater. Aside from the color, it falls in line with the oversized option I was talking about. This makes it a versatile piece that be styled with a mini pleated skirt, a cute satin number, or even leather leggings.

MANGO

MANGO Braided Sweater

Bypass the color and opt for a cream sweater that's really going to give you that late '80s, early '90s fall style appeal. Since it's neutral, you'll be able to wear underneath a gorgeous burgundy or hunter green coat without compromising the detailed braided pattern on it.

GAP

Mixed Cable-Knit Sweater

Do we hear Mariah Carey trilling beautifully in her "All I Want For Christmas" song or is this sweater deceiving us? How about this: two things can be true at once. And, you get to look cute while putting up holiday decorations because I know you've been looking for a red sweater.

2. Cardigan

Cora Pursley

We're in our grandma eras because we love wearing cardigans, right? I'd argue and say that's not true, but some of us don't mind the foxy grandma style we've adopted.

Cardigans are always going to be top-tier because you can wear them on the days it's cool in the morning and warm in the afternoons. The thickness of their fabric will determine how much you're able to layer with it, but it's not hard to pick the perfect one based on the weather.

Don't believe me? Look at these picks!

Target

Cozy Knit Button-Down Cardigan

Sometimes all a girl really needs is a cute cardigan that she can wear as many times as her heart desires. Lucky for you, I saw this adorable one while looking for table lamps on Target...clears throat.

Amazon

Cable Knit Embroidered Cardigan

Cardigans don't have to be boring, especially when your style isn't! This one's specifically for anyone who lives a colorful life and likes for their outfits to follow suit.

BloomChic

Reindeer And Snow Cardigan

I promise I'm not rushing Christmas, but look at this cardigan! It has cute little reindeer and snowflakes all over it! How could I ignore someone's chance at having the greatest holiday sweater? Clearly I couldn't because you're probably looking at this and smiling too.

3. Striped Sweater

Cora Pursley

If you want that naturally preppy fall look, a striped sweater is your best option. It's one of the easiest pieces to style because it serves as the main focal point of an outfit. Here's a few Thanksgiving outfit ideas that you can pull off wearing this trend:

  • Lightweight trench coat, striped sweater, straight-leg jeans, Mary Jane flats
  • Leather jacket, striped sweater, satin skirt, New Balance sneakers
  • Oversized striped sweater, bootcut jeans, and ankle boots
Here are a few picks to get you started:

Amazon

Crewneck Striped Sweater

The fun thing about striped sweaters is that they come in a variety of sizes. The thicker lines create a new dimension that works great for the oversized look IMO. You can take this sweater and wear it over a unitard, or you tuck the front into a pair of skinny jeans.

Target

Crewneck Pullover Sweater

This pullover sweater has 'from the office to happy hour' vibes and I really like that. It's a great universal piece that isn't confined to one environment or event...AKA you need a striped sweater that's as adaptable as you are.

GAP

Shrunken Roll Neck Sweater

Again, this is strictly for my girls who love the color pink. At my core, I can't stay away from this color so I don't try anymore. Though it's vibrant, this sweater still feels preppy enough to be worn to your work or your company's country club gathering.

4. V-Neck

Katrin Bolovtsova

Show me a v-neck sweater that doesn't love all body types so I can have a word with it, please. I like this universal style because sometimes you want a different neckline outside of the usual 'crew' option some sweaters have.

J.Crew

Relaxed V-Neck Sweater

Look, grey isn't boring. I thought it was, but it has great potential if you're willing to work with it. Like cream or black, this sweater can be used as a neutral component of your outfit. Think black military coat and knee high boots. Bubblegum pink wool outerwear and silver shoes. Do you see where I'm going with this?

Target

V-neck Pullover Sweater

You can always err on the side of caution and go for a taupe v-neck sweater that doesn't cause a lot of commotion. I love how this almost seems like it could've been a cropped top, but instead sits right at the waist. This makes it easier to pair with bootcut jeans.

Quince

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Oversized V-Neck Sweater

When it comes to sweaters, who doesn't want a little cashmere in their closet? Unfortunately cashmere can be prohibitively expensive, BUT Quince has great — and quality — options at a much lower price point. I love this oversized look for those chilly days when you just wanna bundle up into something comfortable, but stylish.

5. Turtleneck Sweater

Jasmine Williams

I have a love/hate relationship with turtleneck sweaters that stem from childhood. For the oddest reason, I used to think they were choking me and would give my mom the meanest side eye each time she'd make me wear one. However, I willingly wear them as an adult. Do I appreciate the snug feeling around my neck? No, but they look amazing when paired with leather pants or skirts.

Here are some of my faves right now!

ModCloth

Woodstock Wanderer Sweater

Taps microphone...The best time to wear a striped sweater really is all the time! Spongebob may have ignored his fry cook duties to sing this line, but he didn't lie. Striped sweaters are gifts that keep giving because they seem festive no matter their colorways! However, this particular sweater has Christmas stitched into every seam and we love it!

BloomChic

Bloomchic Turtleneck Cable Knit Sweater

Can't stand the idea of a turtleneck sweater hugging your neck like it's obsessed with you? Here's a sweater that doesn't feel so restrictive!

H&M

Mock Turtleneck Sweater

Here's another neck-friendly sweater that's as cute as it's breathable. It's like the faux version of what we're used to because no one wants to yank at their neckline every five minutes.

Target

Turtleneck Tunic Pullover Sweater

But if you've embraced the dark side of turtlenecks, this pullover sweater won't make you gasp every time you take a breath. I'm serious, you'll love wearing it...I think.

You won’t be able to find the latest and greatest Trader Joe’s product on the bakery table or in the frozens aisle – instead, make a beeline to their beauty section.

That’s right – Trader Joe’s has a beauty section that hosts everything from toothpaste to hair oil. Whether you’re an avid Trader Joe’s beauty shopper or tend to glaze over their personal care goodies in favor of their epic desserts, you’re definitely going to be excited about this brand-new find.

To make things even more exciting, the find in question is an utter dupe of one of Summer Fridays’ most famous lip products.

@traderjoesobsessed / Summer Fridays

Behold the Trader Joe’s Lip Butter Balm Duo! Trader Joe’s fan account @traderjoesobsessed recently surfaced the amazing lip care find on their Instagram page, and I, too, am obsessed.

The duo consists of a Vanilla Mint flavor and a Brown Sugar flavor, both of which are packaged in tubes that look super similar to the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms.

Each squeezable tube is also fitted with a clear applicator tip with almost the exact same divot.

@traderjoesobsessed

While a single tube of the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm goes for $24, the Trader Joe’s Lip Butter Balm Duo is shoppable for just $7. Shoppers are saying it makes a great stocking stuffer for the holiday season!

“Yes I’m obsessed!!!” one commenter wrote.

“Here for the packaging 😍,” another said.

“I love these! (And Summer Fridays!),” someone else commented.

Sephora

Some Trader Joe’s beauty fans did note that the TJ’s Lip Butter Balms boast a few differences from the famed Summer Fridays ones. A few shoppers highlighted the fact that the TJ’s balms aren’t as thick in consistency and don’t have a tint to them.

Nevertheless, several Trader Joe’s fans say that the formula of the new Lip Butter Balm Duo is “not sticky at all.”

One shopper said that it “makes my lips look so juicy.”

“These do actually hydrate/heal lips,” someone else noted.

Another said it “definitely leaves a nice glow and smells so good.”

Disney's new Snow White live-actionmovie is no stranger to controversy — or very, very passionate fan responses. The movie (which stars Rachel Zegler and is set to premiere in theaters March 21, 2025) is an updated take on the classic 1937 film, and it's those very updates that people have a lot of opinions on. And when the official Snow White trailer dropped on December 3, hundreds of thousands of people disliked the video...and they didn't hold back in the comments.

Here's what the internet is saying about the Snow White trailer. (Spoiler alert: it's not good).

The 'Snow White' trailer has more dislikes than likes on YouTube.

Like any Disney movie, Snow White 2025 created an internet frenzy in its first five days on YouTube: the trailer already has 5.7 million views! But even though it has 28K likes, according to people in the comments, there are reportedly over 700Kdislikes (which you can see if you have a browser extension). "At this point, the monetization of this video is gonna earn Disney more revenue than the movie itself will," one YouTube user says in the comments.

"She doesn’t need the poisoned apple. She’s toxic enough by herself," another comment says, while a third reads, "I want the queen to win in this version."

Now, while YouTube comments can be fairly harmless (if incredibly rude and annoying), some people have taken it WAY too far. An insane since-deleted tweet from a user named Lee read, "Someone should kill you," to which Rachel responded, "fun fact i will be dying eight times a week on broadway this fall!!!!!" she says referencing her stint in Romeo and Juliet with Kit Connor. "get your tickets, lee! also @fbi."

Disney's 'Snow White' live-action movie isn't the remake to get backlash.

Now, backlash to Snow White isn't necessarily a surprise (even when it's VERY unwarranted) given how upset people were over Halle Bailey as Ariel in The Little Mermaid (even though it was a PERFECT casting choice!!) and rumors that Avantika Vandanapu would star as Rapunzel in a live-action Tangled (which, hello, would be another incredible casting choice).

Both of these women dealt with horrible, racist reactions, but like IRL Disney Princesses, chose to respond with strength and love. “Seeing the world’s reaction to it was definitely a shock," Halle told Edition. "But seeing all the babies’ reactions, all the brown and Black young girls, really tore me up emotionally."

THAT's what Disney movies are about; leaving the theater feeling more empowered and encouraged than you were before is why Disney princesses are so inspiring. I'm actually so excited to see Rachel Zegler as Snow White, not just because I've always been fascinated by the artistic challenge of adapting scenes and costumes into a totally different context, but also because how how Rachel will bring life to a role that literally only has 29 minutes and 19 seconds of screentime in the original movie.

In short: people are just haters and I think the Snow White trailer looks amazing! Check it out in theaters March 21.
