The Fall 2025 Trends Everyone's Buzzing About — and How You Can (Actually) Wear Them
Let's get ready, because crisp weather and cozy evenings are right around the corner.
Every fall, I tell myself I’m not buying into trends this year. I imagine myself living in a pieces that would make Gwyneth proud. Simple and classic.
Then I blink, and I’m manically Googling “square-toe suede boots with fringe” at 2 a.m. So here we are.
Fall 2025 is shaping up to be a season of texture, structure and confident nostalgia. There is plenty to get excited about as we begin to layer up.
Here are the trends you’ll start seeing everywhere:
Outerwear is taking the lead, with oversized coats, faux furs and longline puffers making a big impact. Tailoring is also back in the spotlight with sculpted blazers, exaggerated shoulders and cinched waists.
My take: I think if you invest in anything this season, it should be an incredible coat or jacket. It makes a statement, and you’ll look current no matter what you’re wearing underneath.
Layered, academia-inspired/country chic looks with uniform vibes, collared shirts and plaid or checkered patterns are giving major back-to-school energy (or back to fall wine tasting and pumpkin picking). Think classic Ralph Lauren magazine ads.
My take: I love this look because it never truly goes out of style, so don’t be afraid to pick up some preppy pieces you’ll have forever.
Color is loud again with pistachio greens, lipstick reds, electric blues and grape purples overshadowing autumn neutrals. Major names like Tom Ford and Saint Laurent led the charge in bold hues.
My take: If you’re like me and love the quieter tones of quiet luxury, try colorful tights or scarves before diving into head-to-toe ensembles. And don’t worry, chocolate brown and charcoal grey are still prevalent!
Bohemian vibes are in with embroidered jackets, fringe bags, scarf-belts and relaxed maxi skirts.
My take: I like this in moderation — you don’t need to look like you’re off to Coachella. Incorporate subtle lace details and sheer fabrics to help you achieve that romantic vibe without going too far.
This season is about texture, texture, texture, like faux fur, velvet, mohair, satin and shearling. The key is layering contrasting textures, like pairing soft with structured or shiny with matte.
My take: This trend is quietly luxe and oddly satisfying. Textures = emotional support clothes.
And finally: Puss in Boots, but make it chic. This fall, footwear is dramatic with pirate styles, slouchy suede, white 70’s heels and square‑toes dominating the shoe department.
My take: I’m all for this trend. I love a slouchy boot and happily rocked them back in the Y2K era (where style really peaked…) Slouchy, unstructured bags will be a perfect match for them.
So, What Will I Be Wearing?
Not all of it. Definitely not all at once.
But what I am doing is using these trends as a starting off point with my closet and investing in a few pieces that will compliment what I already have. I look forward to playing with texture, revisiting color and probably indulging in a new pair of suede boots.
Whether you lean minimal or maximal, Fall 2025 is all about balancing contrast. Soft with structured, modern with vintage. Start experimenting with color, texture and structure and you’ll step into the season with style.
Not ready for Fall!
