Happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend. If you’re back to work today, may the force be with you! My kids are all off this week, and we’re actually taking a quick trip for New Year’s, so we’re still very much in holiday mode around here.

I thought I’d keep our year-end wrap-ups going, and today’s post is all about your favorites from the past year.

2025 Best Selling Products

These are the top 20 pieces you loved most in 2025, based on total orders. Many of these showed up again and again in my weekly Top Ten lists, becoming clear community favorites week after week. Most are personal favorites of mine as well. Together, they’re a mix of everyday essentials and a few surprise standouts—a snapshot of what actually worked in real life in 2025.

#1. Universal Thread Striped Cushioned 3-Pack Mid-Crew Socks
The dark horse of the year is this 3-pack of soft, cushy socks from Target! I’m not much of a sock person, so when I was trying to figure out what to wear with my Birkenstock clogs, I asked a friend who loves socks for recommendations, and she pointed me to these. Judging by how many of you bought them, I think we’re all glad she did. They’re soft and comfortable without being bulky, and I love the stripes for a subtle pop of pattern.

#2. Athleta Brooklyn Heights High-Rise Cargo Pant
These are my go-to warm-weather travel pants. I discovered them last spring, and they quickly became a JLS community MVP. They’re lightweight, breathable, and super comfortable, with a flattering fit and handy cargo pockets — perfect for stashing a room key or your phone. Fit tip: True to size, but if you’re between sizes, I recommend sizing down.

#3. Quince Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans
The viral $50 jeans that come in five washes and four inseam lengths! They have a ’90s-inspired vintage look with just the right amount of stretch, a high-rise waist, and a relaxed leg for an easy, laid-back vibe. For reference, I’m wearing a size 30 with the 30″ inseam in Atlantic Blue.

#4. Wild Fable Crewneck Heritage Cable Cardigan
This $30 cable-knit cardigan is such a good budget buy from Target. It has an easy, relaxed fit with a chunky cable-knit pattern, and there’s no wool, which makes it a great option for anyone with sensitivities. It works just as well buttoned up like a pullover as it does worn open over a tee or blouse.

#5. Quince Mongolian Cashmere Oversized Crewneck Sweater
One of my favorite sweaters this fall, and a great value cashmere option that comes in lots of color choices. I love the relaxed, easy fit, and the contrast trim at the neckline makes it feel a little more special than a basic crew.

#6. MOTHER Lil’ Kick It High-Waist Straight-Leg Jeans
A newer denim find, and one I’ve been reaching for over and over since I got them. These are the perfect relaxed, full-length straight-leg jeans for a modern silhouette. They have great stretch with just the right amount of structure. They’re also available in a 32″ inseam, which is great for taller ladies (or average-height ladies who want to wear them with heels). You can see all of the MOTHER Kick It styles at Nordstrom.

#7. LOFT Heathered Ribbed Wedge Sweater
This was a fun little transitional sweater I loved in the late summer/early fall, and I guess you all did too! It’s soft and cozy, comes in a really versatile color, and has a flattering fit. Amazingly, it’s still in stock.

#8. Blondo Cammie Waterproof Bootie
I wore these boots all over Iceland, Scotland, and London last fall, and they held up beautifully while still looking great with all my jeans. A modern spin on the lug-sole Chelsea boot, these are fully waterproof and feature an easy inside zip plus a contrasting neoprene panel at the back.

also wearing: J.Crew cashmere cardigan (S) // MOTHER Dazzler (30)

#9. Paul Green Hadley Platform Sneaker
Another travel favorite, these classic white leather sneakers are incredibly soft and luxe, with excellent arch support and plenty of cushioning. Comfortable right out of the box, with no break-in time needed, and I love the easy slip-on style. They work with everything from jeans and shorts to casual dresses. Definitely a splurge, but the quality and comfort make them worth it.

#10. Caslon Raglan Sleeve Wool & Cashmere Sweater
This classic winter sweater has clean lines and flattering raglan sleeves, and it comes in a range of colors. Inventory is a bit limited at the moment, but it’s a really nice, timeless piece if you’re able to find your size.

#11. LOFT Striped Shoulder Button Wedge Sweater
This was a really nice classic striped sweater for spring, and it ended up being one of the most popular LOFT finds of the year. It’s still available in a few sizes, so I wanted to include it here.

also wearing: faux suede bomber (S) // Dolce Vita Faint Waterproof Suede Boots (8.5)

#12. AG Brinley Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans (more sizes at AG Jeans)
These relaxed-fit straight-leg jeans are made from super-soft stretch denim in a well-worn, vintage-inspired wash, with lightly distressed edges that give them a lived-in look. Fit tip: Size down if you’re between sizes; I have the 29.

#13. Cloth + Stone Flap Pocket Zipper Shacket
This modern shacket, with its sleek zip front and flap pockets, was one of my favorite fall purchases for layering over tees and tanks with casual looks. It’s now on a really good sale and still available in a few sizes.

#14. Caslon Cotton Stretch Twill Swing Jacket
A soft, stretchy twill swing jacket that’s just right for in-between seasons or mild winters, this one was a top seller during the #NSale. Sizes and colors are picked over, but it’s on sale again if you can find your size. Fit tip: Size down; it runs big. I wear the small.

#15. adidas Handball Spezial Sneaker
My favorite fashion sneakers for fall and winter. In this earthy brown suede, they add a sporty, laid-back vibe to casual, street-style looks, and they also come in a few other color options.

#16. Steve Madden Verdict Sneaker (more sizes at DSW)
Similar to the adidas Spezial but with an easy slip-on style and a more moderate price point, these low-profile mesh sneakers are lightweight and breathable. They come in a bunch of great colorways and are an easy everyday option for casual looks.

#17. Dolce Vita Faint H2O Waterproof Chelsea Boot
These Western-inspired Chelsea boots have been a go-to this fall, and I love that they’re made from waterproof suede, which keeps you chic and dry even on rainy days.

#18. Gap Factory 5″ Mid-Rise Soft Denim Shorts
A great classic pair of jean shorts with a versatile 5″ inseam and a medium indigo wash with just the right amount of whiskering and fading. These were my go-to last summer, and I’ll be pulling them out again as soon as the weather warms up.

also wearing: PAIGE Syrie Top (M)

#19. Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Original Lip Kit (similar HERE)
The best-selling #NSale beauty exclusive this year sold out, so I linked a similar option. It creates such a pretty, versatile nude lip that works for everyday or dressed-up looks.

also wearing: Michael Stars Nara Mock Neck (M) // Veronica Beard Lada Booties (8.5) // old LOFT crop trench // Clare V. Moyen Messenger

#20. MOTHER The Weekend Flare Hem Jeans in Teaming Up
It feels rather appropriate to wrap up this list with one of my all-time favorite pairs of jeans. These have one of the most flattering flare silhouettes, and this version features a clean hem and a versatile dark wash with just a hint of distressing for that effortless, lived-in look. This exact pair is sold out, so I linked a similar option. You seriously can’t go wrong with these.

And that’s a wrap! As always, I’d love to hear if you have any favorites from this list—or if there’s something you’re surprised to see (or not see!) this year.
