The Fall Winter 2025 Trend Breakdown You Can’t Miss

You’ve scrolled through our shows coverage, stalked the celebs on the front row, and zoomed in on every bag. Oh, and let’s not forget the street style inspo. Plus, we all witnessed the drama – Sarah Burton's debut as creative director of Givenchy and the bombshell that Demna’s jumping to Gucci days after showing his Balenciaga show. Now that we’ve triple-checked our notes, it’s time for your TL;DR on what’s going to shape our wardrobes when Fall Winter 2025 hits this September.

EMO PREP GIRL

The vibe? Blair Waldorf meets Paramore — crisp collars and pleated skirts, but with chunky boots, safety pins, and eyeliner that screams do not disturb. Preppy perfection, but make it a little heartbroken and a lot cooler.

HANG LOOSE

Low-rise pants and bumster jeans are back, bringing Fall Winter 2025’s low-slung waistlines and a whole lot of “I’m too cool for high-rise.”

IT’S A BUNNY’S WORLD

Rabbits are the unofficial spirit animal of Fall Winter 2025 — soft, whimsical, and just the right dash of mischief. Think childlike wonder hopping into an otherwise sombre (and honestly, kinda messed-up) world.

EMBRACE THE POUF

Think the Cecilie Bahnsen, Molly Goddard and Simone Rocha playbook, but cranked up to main character energy. From Louis Vuitton to Givenchy, the puffed-up, frothy silhouettes are taking over

THE BULLET BRA TOP

Sharp, pointy bra cups are serving up peak 1950s pin-up vibes, making their vintage appeal very felt. They exaggerate the bust and hourglass figure like it’s a full-on comeback tour.

IS THAT VINTAGE?

Call it the rise of pre-loved fashion in our style lexicon, or how designers are getting increasingly nostalgic with their archives, but brands are definitely vibing with the past – especially an '80s spirit. Looks that feel like they’re straight out of yesterday? Yeah, that’s the vibe now.

GO DOUBLE DENIM

Kendrick nailed it at the Grammys. Britney made it iconic in 2001. The takeaway? Denim’s best worn loud and proud — top to bottom, matchy-matchy, no apologies.

DO THE TEDDY BEAR

Fur for Fall/Winter? Groundbreaking – we know. But this season, the short, plush (mostly faux) fur wasn’t just luxe; it was downright huggable. Designers went full teddy mode, wrapping models in coats and dresses so cuddly, you’d think they walked straight out of a childhood dream.

TIE IT WITH A BOW

Fall Winter 2025 was serving peak coquette-core, with bows popping up everywhere – big ones, tiny ones, even blink-and-you’ll-miss-it ones. Whether cinching waists or cascading as pussy bows, these little ribbons proved that sometimes, the smallest details make the biggest statement.

SHOW OFF YOUR LEGS

This season’s It dress is majorly leggy. We’re talking sky-high slits and drama for days. Basically, if your pins aren’t the main character… what are we even doing?

EVERYONE’S DRESSING LIKE A POET

The New Romantic spirit is alive and well, with designers fully embracing their moody, introspective era. Flowy blouses, billowy sleeves, and just the right amount of brooding – Byron would approve.

WHY NOT GO FULL ART MODE?

Can avant-garde be wearable and not just a museum exhibit? Judging by the outlandish designs from Comme des Garcons, Duran Lantink, and Moschino, the answer is a resounding yes. Time to dress like a walking masterpiece – because fashion with a capital ‘F’ is officially in.

THE 'OFFICE' BAG

The ultimate corporate chic staple: the no-nonsense, prim bag that says “I mean business.” Whether it’s day or night, briefcase-inspired or the classic top handle, it’s the business of next season.

BELT IT OUT

Throwing it back to the 2000s, when the bigger the belt, the better the outfit. Forget subtle waist-cinching – Fall Winter 2025 is all about belting up for the drama.

HOT GEEK GLASSES

Nerd? No, chic. Everyone’s suddenly obsessed with looking low-key studious and “oops, I’m innocent” in thin metal frames — and designers are totally on board.
