Fall is here, and 2025 is serving up some seriously chic fashion trends that will reset your wardrobe for the new season.
Think effortless layers, luxe textures, and a splash of drama that makes even a coffee run feel runway-ready.
As a stylist, I’ve already been spotting what’s hot in the stores, and I’m breaking it all down for you so you can head into the season looking polished and modern without overthinking your wardrobe.
Here are the fall fashion trends you’ll be seeing everywhere in 2025:
1. Luxe Leather Layers
Leather is no longer just for jackets. This fall, you’ll see leather dresses, skirts, shorts, tailored pants, and even sleeveles leather vests you can layer over knits.
The vibe is sleek, confident, and a little bold.
2. Soft Suede
Suede is the fabric of the season, from rich camel colors to fringe slouchy handbags.
Suede instantly adds warmth and texture to your fall looks, and it’s the perfect alternative to leather when you want something softer and more relaxed.
3. Polished Oversized Blazers
The power blazer is back and bigger than ever.
Worn belted over dresses, paired with straight-leg jeans, or layered over a pleated skirt, it’s the fastest way to make any outfit look intentional and put together.
4. Pencil Skirts, Reimagined
Say goodbye to stiff and boring. The pencil skirt is making a chic comeback this season in unexpected fabrics like denim, leather, suede and even prints like polka dot and zebra.
Style your pencil skirt with a chunky knit or a fitted cardigan for a look that’s equal parts timeless and modern.
5. Animal Prints (Cow Print and Zebra as the Stars)
Leopard and snakeskin had their time to shine, now it’s all about cow and zebra print.
Whether on a statement coat, skirt, belt or even a sleek handbag, these bold patterns bring a playful, fashion-forward edge to your wardrobe.
Trust me, these prints are an instant conversation starter and surprisingly versatile in black, white, and neutral tones.
6. The Denim Update
Autumn's denim is coming in wide, barrelled, straight and cropped so you will have your choice of on-trend silhouttes.
For an easy updated and elevated look, you can't go wrong pairing denim-on-denim this season.
Be on the look-out for darker denim shades for fall.
7. Elevated Knits
We all know that fall is sweater-weather, but this season's knitwear is more of a statement piece.
Whether it's waist-defining silhouettes, jewel-botton details or relaxed and slouchy shapes, knitwear no longer feels simply like the layer underneath.
Think cardigans with a scarf attached, oversized cashmere turtlenecks or printed cardigans you’ll want to live in.
Cozy but polished is the name of the game this season.
8. Statement Boots
From pointy-toed kitten heels to knee-high patent leather boots, footwear is having its moment.
This fall is all about rich autumn colors and letting your boots do the talking — whether you’re wearing them with denim or dresses and pencil skirts.
9. Faux Fur Accents
Faux fur is adding a touch of drama this season in all the right ways.
Think a long fur coat, plush fur collars, fuzzy handbags, and textured trims that elevate everyday basics. It's cozy and glamorous.
The best part is that faux fur can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion!
10. Belts With Everything
This fall, belts aren't just for pants. Designers are cinching waists over dresses, knits, and even outerwear.
Adding a belt instantly shapes your silhouette and takes your look from simple to styled.
Try belting a blazer, a trench coat, or even your favorite chunky cardigan and oversized blazer.
