Winter 2025 Trends with Mae Threads: Fresh Twists on Cold-Weather Style

Winter dressing doesn’t have to mean reaching for the same dark neutrals on repeat. This season’s biggest trends invite warmth, whimsy, and individuality — all while keeping comfort at the core. From cozy browns to cheerful reds and unexpected color pairings, Mae Threads has pieces that let you embrace each trend effortlessly.

1. Pops of Red

Red is having a major moment this winter, bringing energy to neutral outfits. Pairing a vivid red with soft knits or muted prints keeps it wearable while still making a statement.

Mae Picks:

• The Dete Washed Short Sleeve + Pleated Pant Set in Red for a bold monochrome look that still feels relaxed.
• The Faye Short Sleeved Button-Up Cardigan in Red layered over denim or a pleated midi skirt.
• The Eden Dress in Red looks dressy but feels so comfy with its elasticized bodice and flowy silhouette. Wear under a cream sweater to tame the fiery red. 

Style tip: Try red accessories — a beret, clutch, or shoes — if you prefer a smaller pop of color.

2. Monochrome Brown Outfits

Head-to-toe brown is officially chic again, especially when you play with texture and tone. Think warm mochas, soft tans, and deep chocolate hues.

Mae Picks:

• The Tamsin Long Sleeve Striped Blouse and Ruffle Edge Pant in Cream + Brown for a tonal pairing that feels rich but effortless.
• The Rudy Button-Down Cardigan in Chocolate over paired with corduroy or wool trousers.

Style tip: Finish with gold jewelry or a statement belt to break up the neutrals.

3. Modern Bohemian

The boho look is evolving into something cleaner and more intentional — think flowy silhouettes, vintage-inspired prints, and earthy color stories, but styled with modern simplicity.

Mae Picks:

• The Blaise Leopard Dress for a subtly wild, romantic twist.
• The Dennis Patterned Midi Dress in Sunset for that effortless, artsy feel.
• The Ansel Dress in Taupe + Brown Plaid layered under a long cardigan for colder days.
  

Style tip: Keep accessories minimal — a structured boot or sleek hoop earrings modernize the look.

4. Ultra-Layered Preppy

Preppy style gets a maximalist refresh this winter with crisp collars, knits-on-knits, and tailored layering.

Mae Picks:

• The Antalya Pleated Collar Blouse in Ivory Floral layered under The Faye Short Sleeved Button-Up Cardigan in Yellow.
• The Rudy Button-Down Cardigan in Cobalt for a collegiate-inspired pop of color.
• The Norea Lounge Set in Pool Blue with loafers for a polished twist.

Style tip: Mix different weights — like a fitted tee under a chunky knit — for dimension and warmth.

5. Sequins (Day or Night)

Shimmer is stepping out of the party scene and into everyday wear this winter. Whether you’re heading to brunch or a holiday soirée, sequins bring that celebratory sparkle we all need during the colder months.

Mae Picks:

• Tone down the sparkle for daytime by layering The Madonna Sequin Fringe Dress with a cozy knit cardigan, black tights, and suede ankle boots, then finish with a structured crossbody and a soft neutral scarf.
• Make The Glitzy Sequin Party Dress daytime-ready with a long wool coat, tall suede boots, and a crossbody bag in a warm neutral tone.

Style tip: Pick neutrals or colors that are relatively monochrome to keep the look lowkey during the day. After dark, swap out your boots for heels and statement earrings for full-on star power.

6. Offbeat Color Pairings

Move over, navy and gray — this season is about unexpected combinations: lilac with mustard, pistachio with coral, or sky blue with chocolate.

Mae Picks:

• The Beck Floral Denim Jumpsuit with The Faye Cardigan in Yellow for a cheerful mix.
• The Cleo Belted Pant in Striped Multi—pair with The York Tee in Pistachio or The Gael Ribbed Tee in Black for contrast.
• The Dete Washed Set in Red paired with tan or dusty rose for an editorial-inspired palette.

Style tip: Anchor your look with one neutral to keep playful colors grounded.

7. Demure 1950s Revival

Modesty is trending in a polished, vintage-inspired way—think structured silhouettes, soft blouses, and ladylike details like bows and pleats.

Mae Picks:

• The Katarine Floral Embroidered Dress in Cream + Mocha for timeless femininity.
• The Fienna Ruffle Blouse in Yellow paired with a midi skirt or wide-leg trouser.
• The Lizeth Button-Up Floral Midi Skirt with a tucked-in tee or knit cardigan buttoned up all the way. 

Style tip: Define your waist with a belt and finish with ballet flats or Mary Janes.

8. Animal Prints

Leopard and zebra are the new winter neutrals—effortlessly bold yet endlessly versatile.

Mae Picks:

• The Blaise Leopard Dress 
• For something bolder, look for a printed coat or accessories to mix with solid Mae basics.
  

Style tip: Keep the rest of your outfit simple — neutral tees or knits let the print shine.
