The 7 Fall 2025 Fashion Trends Everyone Will Be Wearing By October
It’s officially “throw on a trench and pretend you own a manor” season.
Fall ’25 is serving old-money countryside meets downtown chic. Think: riding boots, chocolate browns that look far pricier than they are, and jewelry that whispers “heirloom” (even if it arrived yesterday). Here’s your cheat sheet to looking like you spend weekends in the Cotswolds, even if you spend them at Trader Joe’s.

1) Stable-to-Street
Equestrian energy is the mood: tweed, quilted toppers, tattersall checks, and saddle-adjacent details. Tall riding boots (yes, over leggings and skinny jeans again) make everything feel polished in two seconds. Bonus points for Hunter-style wellies in black, red, or olive when the forecast misbehaves.
How to try it: Black leggings + cream cable-knit + longline tweed blazer + knee-high riding boots. Toss a silk scarf through your ponytail and call it “weekend hack.”

2) Hot Chocolate (Brown Is the It Color)
Chocolate brown is eclipsing black for fall/winter. It's richer, softer, and instantly luxe. Go tonal from head to toe or anchor brights with a cocoa trench. Suede reads especially elevated in this shade. The boho maxi skirt is making a big comeback this season, too. Style a rich brown skirt with an oversized leather jacket and boots to channel Chloé runway 2025.
How to try it: Cocoa turtleneck + espresso midi skirt + brown knee boots + milk-chocolate suede bag. Delicious.

3) The Trench, Two Ways
Long, sweeping trenches for drama; cropped trenches for that brisk, boxy, modern layer. Belt it over knits, shrug it over hoodies, or let it flap open with tall boots and skinnies.
How to try it: Cropped trench + striped knit + straight mini + tights + loafers for weekday chic; swap to a full-length trench and boots for instant evening.

4) Faux-Fur Everywhere (Not Just Coats)
Faux-fur is moving beyond outerwear and into plush collars, cuffed sleeves, fuzzy vests, and even fur-trim minis and handbags. It’s texture, not bulk; a dash of glam that plays well with denim and tweed.
How to try it: Minimal knit dress + fur-trim cardigan + tall boots. Or clip a faux-fur collar onto your trench and pretend it came that way.

How to try it: Oxblood Mary Janes + sheer socks + pleated mini + oversized sweater. Cozy, but make it polished.

6) Heirloom-Vibe Jewelry
Go bold and “inherited”: architectural cuffs, brooches that look pilfered from Granny’s jewel box, long necklaces layered over knits, pearls done playfully (yes, with denim). Pin a brooch to your lapel, your scarf, or even your shoe strap for extra personality. Also, try your hand at maximalist, statement belts worn over outwear pieces like trench coats.
How to try it: Sleek turtleneck + wide tailored trousers + one serious cuff + a long pendant. Effortless authority.

7) Patina > Perfect (Bags With a Life)
The new flex is a bag that looks loved. Lived-in leather, softened corners, slouchy shapes, and suede that doesn’t flinch at a drizzle. It’s “I don’t baby my expensive bag” energy, and it makes everything else feel cooler. Bonus points if the bag has a belt. Why? We're not sure, but it's so in right now.
How to try it: Oversized trench + vintage-wash denim + black boots + slouchy chocolate hobo. Done.
Target Universal Thread Slouchy Faux Suede Tote Handbag, $35
Rebecca Minkoff Crosby Shoulder Bag, $278

Styling Tips
Mix your countryside prints: tweed + stripes + tattersall = surprisingly chic when the palette stays neutral.
Let boots lead: build outfits from the shoes up: tall riding boots or Hunters first, then leggings/skinny jeans, then layers.
Choose one star texture: trench + faux-fur trim or suede bag or pearl stacks. Pick a hero and let it sing.
Keep a cocoa core: when in doubt, add one chocolate piece (belt, knit, or bag). It warms everything.
Now go forth and look impossibly expensive at the pumpkin patch.
