Each year, certain fashion pieces stand out above the rest — not just on runways or in the pages of magazines, but in real-life wardrobes. Upon reflection, it's easy to spot those luxury buys that defined years gone by – in 2011, the Isabel Marant Bekett wedge sneaker had a spot on every fashion insiders' feet; fast-forward a few years, and Gucci's logo belt took the top spot as the must-have piece.

While it's easy to recognise those pieces that seem to crop up again and again with the benefit of hindsight, now, Sourcewhere has put real-time figures to the luxury buys we're coveting above all else in 2025, with its first-ever annual trend report. The platform, which tracks real-time sourcing requests across the secondary market, has uncovered exactly what shoppers are trying to find. Has your recent purchase made the list? Below, the most popular luxury fashion pieces of the year, according to Sourcewhere.

1. The Row Jolene Jacket

Tailored, but not stiff, and in the perfect shade of cornflower blue, The Row's Jolene Jacket is instantly recognisable. It's also the perfect example of how fashion in 2025 is favouring versatility and wearability – it's the kind of jacket that works no matter what's on the agenda, on weekends or weekdays. More sizes coming soon on Net-A-Porter.

2. The Row Peggy Bag

The Peggy is another entry in The Row’s growing canon of ‘IYKYK’ bags. Its subtle shape and simple leatherwork reflect the wider move away from logo-driven It-bags in favour of investment pieces that hold their value — and their allure — demurely.

3. Miu Miu Fleece Jacket

Basically anything by Miu Miu has cropped up as the uniform for cool girls in recent years, and this fleece is proof. Cosy without being too casual, and just a little bit preppy, it speaks to fashion that's comfortable, cool but, above all, doesn't try too hard.

4. The Row Terrasse Bag

Another lesson is understated luxury, once again by The Row.  With its soft structure and sculptural design, this bag expertly straddles the line between practicality and art object. It doesn’t scream for attention, but never fails to turn heads anyway.

5. The Row Dune Sandals

Yes, these sandals are rubber and cotton. No, that hasn't stopped them from being perpetually sold out. Flat and functional, the Dune Sandals take notes from Danish fashion girls, and are once again about effortless confidence. Perhaps not the height of chic to the untrained eye, they're what you wear when you're not trying to be seen, but still want to be looked at.

6. Cartier Mini Tank Watch

Timeless in the truest sense. The Mini Tank isn’t just a timepiece — it’s a signal of enduring style. As flashy smartwatches and oversized accessories fall out of favour, this petite classic is a reminder that subtlety always wins in the end.

7. Miu Miu Woven Boat Shoes

Our love affair with boat shoes is well documented, and this pair by Miu Miu is no exception. As with so many other pieces – polo shirts, board shorts, cardigans – Miu Miu has taken a traditionally preppy staple and made it fashion. Paired with slouchy socks or a mini skirt, these boat shoes are proof that practical can still be directional.

8. Chanel 25 Bag

A favourite of Dua Lipa's, and apparently the rest of the world, too. A reinterpretation of a house icon, the Chanel 25 Bag combines vintage proportions with modern appeal.

9. Chanel Raffia Ballet Flats

Ballet flats crept out of the 2010s and into our current-day wardrobes a few seasons ago, but in 2025, they underwent another shift, this time toward summer-friendly materials. These lightweight raffia ballet flats hit the sweet spot between coastal and city chic, have been spotted on feet from Paris to Positano.

10. Phoebe Philo Clog Loafers

Phoebe’s long-awaited return has delivered pieces that feel both new and familiar. These clog loafers — which seem to straddle both genders in shape – are smart, strange, and destined to be endlessly copied.

11. The Row Barn Tote

Another beauty by the Olsen twins, the Barn Tote is oversized and unbranded. As a result, it not only fits everything you need, but fits with everything in your wardrobe.

12. Chanel Slingback Loafers

Not quite a flat, not quite a heel, Chanel’s slingback loafers land somewhere in between. They nod to the house’s heritage styles – ballet flats, loafers, and slingbacks – while feeling future-thinking.

13. Chanel Denim Ballet Flats

Ballet flats have made a full return, and Chanel’s denim version taps into both nostalgia and modernity. Crafted from denim, they're as wearable as your favourite pair of jeans, while also feeling a little Y2K.

14. The Row Mira Clutch

Understated yet sculptural, the Mira Clutch continues The Row’s stronghold on accessories that feel considered. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t announce itself, but when you know, you know.
