Fall Fashion Trends 2025: What to Wear Right Now

Red is the “it” color of fall 2025 fashion trends—but not just any red. This season, fall looks are all about cherry, wine, and deep burgundy tones. You’ll spot these red hues on runways, in stores, and most importantly, on the streets.

If you’re only adding one red piece, make it a statement coat—a sharp pea coat or sleek trench instantly pulls an outfit together. For a cozier, bookish vibe, go with a burgundy knit sweater you can wear on repeat with trousers or jeans. A crimson maxi dress is another smart staple for semiformal fall events. And if you’d rather keep it simple, a bold red handbag adds just the right punch of color against classic neutrals like khaki or brown. Trust us when we say that one burgundy piece will become your go-to confidence booster this season. (Image credit: @stylebymell)

It's all about "the drift" with fall dress trends—so go long to get a sweeping, whimsical effect. Straight and pleated maxi skirts and dresses are runway-to-street staples that prove romance is back in fashion for 2025. We love these staples for their versatility, you can take them from day to night or office to weekend with just a quick swap of shoes, accessories, or makeup. That flexibility is a big win when you’re building a capsule wardrobe. To fully lean into romantic fall style, our pick is a long, ruffled style like one of these fall Amazon dresses. For a sleeker, elevated take on the same vibe, try a chic satin slip skirt.

Textures really talk this fall—and what they're saying to us so far is that wool blends, satin, and denim with depth are very, very in. In fact, denim dresses are even having a moment with help from modern, flattering cuts—though we've eased into the trend with cute denim maxi skirts. (Image credit: @helenacritchley)

Fall fashion isn’t letting go of the cozy sweaters we all love. This year, nostalgic knitwear with a strong '90s vibe is making a comeback with a modern twist.

We love trending fall-ready cardigans that feel like warm hugs—while still flattering figures over trousers, jeans, or pencil skirts. Look no further than our recent rundown of Sweaters on Amazon with strong fall vibes for some perfect picks for all your apple-picking dates and slow, cinnamon-spiced coffee mornings. For us, it's the time to embrace neutral oversized cardigans, patchwork cardigans, and cable-knit cardigans that provide warmth and softness (because let's face it, autumn is basically an excuse to live in knitwear). A great way to make popular fall fashion work for the office? A high-quality belted cardigan that says "professional" but feels like pajamas. (Image credit: @secondhandcharli)

Statement outerwear for this fall features oversized tailoring and lots of layering potential—the trick is creating a striking, overemphasized silhouette without adding bulk. Trending silhouettes include boxy knit blazers and cocoon coats—the more they look about a half-size too big, the better. We also like a puffer coat with fur trim for deeper into the fall season.

The trick to balancing oversized outerwear? Offsetting your "statement" outer layer with slimmer bottoms. Picture a gorgeous wool cocoon coat that pulls up to your chin over sleek leggings with shiny, fully black knee-high zippered boots. A quilted coat over jeans with neutral-colored boots is the down-home version of this. For a more traditional silhouette that doesn't take too big a fashion risk, do a plaid trench coat—it's classic with just enough pattern to keep things interesting. (Image credit: @olgabuettel)

When shopping current fashion trends 2025, shoppers must pass the “feel test” and it’s all about texture. Trending styles for fall this time around are peppered with mix-and-match textures that merge like fire and ice. Our favorites—and the most popular choices among big fashion houses right now—include buttery leather, shearling accents, and chunky knits.

Think of an edgy cropped leather bomber jacket over a cashmere cable-knit sweater for the ultimate fall juxtaposition of work and play. For a softer look, a shearling-trimmed vest over a button-down denim blouse or a bouclé cardigan over buttery-soft leather leggings. (Image credit: @aydahadi)

With those nostalgic back-to-school vibes always in the air this time of year, fall is the perfect time to embrace preppy and collegiate looks with more mature, refined twists that work at the office. We definitely cheer under the Friday-night lights for plaid midi skirts, pleated trousers, and varsity knits done well. 

To maintain a chic look that veers far away from risks of coming across as costume-y, finish the look with wide-leg pleated trousers or a past-the-knee skirt over loafers. Our favorite outfits that achieve the textbook preppy aesthetic in a modernized way feature a varsity-style sweater or checked blazer that's easily swapped into other not-as-preppy capsule outfits (versatility is always the goal, after all).

If 2025 has taught us anything, it's that less really can be more—especially when "less" means luxurious, thoughtfully crafted pieces that whisper sophistication rather than shouting for attention. Enter quiet luxury, the fashion movement that emphasizes investment in high-quality, minimalist pieces with everlasting appeal. The secret lies in what it doesn't do: no flashy logos, no trend-chasing, no trying too hard. Instead, this aesthetic celebrates quality materials and lets impeccable craftsmanship doing all the talking.

Key fabrics are the real MVPs—cashmere, silk, and wool in their most luxurious forms. Picture a buttery cashmere turtleneck paired with a silk slip skirt that moves like liquid gold. Add a neutral trench coat in that perfect camel hue and wide-leg wool trousers, and you've mastered the art of looking expensive without trying. The color palette? Think warm creams, soft grays, rich browns, and that perfect oatmeal shade that somehow makes everything look ultra-luxe. (Image credit: @lafrancaisstyle)

Office-ready trends are getting a sophisticated reimagining this fall, and we're absolutely living for this elevated energy. Think relaxed-yet-sharp tailoring that says "I mean business" without sacrificing comfort. The magic is in hourglass, waist-highlighting silhouettes that make you feel like the main character in your own career story.

This season's power palette is all about rich, grounding tones—brown, gray, camel, and navy (and trust us, these colors photograph beautifully in those LinkedIn headshots). Silk pants are the real MVP in this category, offering that perfect balance of professional polish and luxurious comfort. Picture a navy structured blazer paired with drawstring silk pants that feel like pajamas but look like power. Don't sleep on the longline vest and trousers combo either—it's giving quiet luxury vibes that we can't get enough of. Check out our trending vests for pieces that'll anchor your power wardrobe.

The right shoes play a key role in capturing the spirit of fall clothing trends, which this year lean into updated nostalgia. With a strong nod to retro styling, the shoes of the season are both wearable and comfortable. We love that there’s room to choose between everyday footwear and bold statement picks—a versatility clearly seen in the trending flats and heels right now.

Chunky Loafers

The '90s feel like a blink away with the reemergence of patent-leather loafers with lug soles this year. Offering office-to-street versatility, trending loafers feature embellishments like penny slots, snaffle bits, and tassels over patent leather, suede, and crocodile patterns.

Boots

Take your pick from over-the-knee, slouchy, buccaneer, and riding styles. For on-trend texture, we love suede, snakeskin, and rich leather. They are all hot this fall. You will definitely catch us in chunky heeled boots that give our wardrobe the fall upgrade it needed. Whatever style or material you choose, aim for a modern, sleek silhouette that stands out without overpowering your whole outfit.

Heeled Mary Janes

Call us tickled pink that retro-chic block-heeled Mary Jane shoes with chunky heels, patent leather, and T-straps are here again. While shiny black heels are in, we also dig the rich burgundy and chocolate tones so many designers have committed to this season. (Image credit: @lolariostyle)

Fall 2025 is a return to chunkier, statement-making accessories and fashion jewelry looks that got overlooked with the rise of the clean-girl aesthetic. We like that trending affordable handbags and statement jewelry are a little louder and less subdued this fall.

Statement Bags

Bags of the moment include "squishy" bags, slouch totes, and structured minis. Far from wallflowers meant to blend in under your arm, these bags feature textural touches like suede fabrics, croc-embossed leather, and quilted fabric. Our personal favorite is an oversized leather slouch tote that converts beautifully between work and casual outfits. For weekend trips, a mini satchel crossbody in a darker color that contrasts with your coat is practical while feeding into this fall's more dramatic aesthetic.

Bold Jewelry

Think golden leaves under the glistening autumn setting sun as you pick up this fall's trend of thick golden chain necklaces and sculptural earrings. Jewelry trends this fall open the door to just the right amount of "excess" when it comes to layering gold.

Statement Belts

Belts are making a comeback this year to counter the bulkier blazers and coats that are dominating fall fashion trends. We love "main character belts" that act as outfit focal points—while creating instant tailoring that makes oversized looks polished and better-fitting in a flash. Major designers are having fun with belts with big accents like studs, gold accents, and flashy buckles—we call it metro-Western. Suede, textures, and rich colors are also on the table—especially if you can find a gorgeous, wide-red statement belt with gold accents to fit red's "it" color moment this fall.
