2025 Must-Haves: Top Fashion & Beauty Essentials You Can’t Live Without

Whether you are passionate about fashion or beauty these are some 2025 essentials you must have at your fingertips. This past year I have found the top brands and products that I have found to be my go-to favorites. 

First and foremost, everyone needs Abercrombie’s Curve Love Jeans. These jeans are stretchy, comfortable and match perfectly with any outfit. My favorite quality about these jeans is that they are perfect for work or a night out (depending on the style). Additionally, everyone needs to pair their jeans with a comfortable tank top. I just discovered Princess Polly’s Soft Fit tank tops. These square necklines and mid-length tank tops are perfect for casual everyday wear. They are buttery soft and you may never want to take them off. Lastly, Aerie’s Real Me High Waisted Crossover Flare Leggings are my absolute favorite leggings to put on. They hug my waist perfectly, creating a flattering but comfortable sinch on my waist. 

Moving on, I will now share my favorite makeup brands and products. A product that is essential to every makeup collection is the foundation, and for this, I would agree with the rest of TikTok and choose Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter Foundation. It is truly flawless. While on the pricier side, I would say it's well worth it. Additionally, with every foundation, comes highlighter and blush. While there are many different forms of blush, my favorite is the cream blush. Some may disagree with my choice but I find this to be the most vibrant and long-lasting. With that said, I highly recommend Milk’s cream blush in whatever shade fits you best! Lastly, my all-time favorite highlighter would have to be Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter, specifically in the shade of champagne gold. Not only is it shimmery and long-lasting, but it also has a positive message behind the brand. Did you know Rare Beauty donates 100% of its proceeds on Mental Health Awareness Day? Just another reason you need this highlighter.

Additionally, while lip gloss may be considered a makeup product, I believe it to be an everyday

essential. For this reason, I recommend Fenty Beauty's lip glosses. They provide the perfect amount of shine and have all different styles of products ranging from their Heat Collection to Cream Glosses. Each one provides a different look, each perfect for a different occasion. Overall, these are the must-have essentials of 2025!
