When lemonade becomes hot chocolate each fall our wardrobes go through a similar metamorphosis, complete with new textures, colors and silhouettes. Fall 2025 is no different — it’s all about romance, bold structure, snuggly comfort. Here are 7 must-have styles that will define the season.
1. Romantic Blouses for the Modern Victorian Lace Lover
We are back to dainty lace, to puffed sleeves and high collars. These tops read dressy and look just as nice with a pair of jeans as they do with trousers.
Style tip: A lace-trimmed blouse under a blazer for work or with ripped jeans and boots for a rock-chick edge.
2. Rich Leather & Structured Outerwear
It’s leather, bigger than ever this season, in everything from jackets to skirts. Structured coats with sharp shoulders or nipped waists provide a sense of strength to an outfit.
Style tip: A more polished trench or brown leather jacket are ways to dress up the look.
3. Plaid, Checks & Heritage Prints
Plaid and checks may be back every fall, but in 2025 they feel more appealing with big bursts of color and textures that feel fresh.
Style tip: Opt for a plaid skirt or blazer and ground it with solid neutrals. For a more subtle accent, throw on a plaid scarf or carry a plaid bag.
4. Jewel Tones & Deep Purples
Emerald, sapphire, deep purples — those are the colors of the season for fall. You add depth and drama to your closet.
Style tip: Pair a violet coat or emerald sweater with your statement piece. Where with black or beige to balance.
5. Slip Skirts & Satin Finishes
Flowy slip skirts and satins add elegance without effort. These soft, flowing styles provide a beautiful contrast to chunkier pieces.
Style tip: Wear a satin slip skirt with an oversized knit or leather jacket for the ideal cosy meets chic.
6. Cozy Knitwear & Granny Cardigans
Sweaterdresses are big right now, and ditto for cropped-knit sweaters and old-school cardigans — slouchy, warm and chic.
Style tip: A slouchy cardigan over a slip of a dress or with wide-leg trousers for cool in a snap.
7. Bold Footwear & Accessories
This fall, shoes and accessories are doing the talking. Look for ankle boots, textured bags and statement finishes, such as patent leather or animal print.
Style tip: Wear bold accessories to update an otherwise simple outfit. Some great-looking bag or booties can instantly up your look.
