Fall Outfit Style Guide

Fall fashion has never looked better, and we’re here to help you find exactly what styles belong in your wardrobe this season. Transitioning from summer to fall can feel tricky, but it’s all about layering, textures, and statement pieces. Here’s what to expect this season:

  • Trending fabrics: faux suede, corduroy and knits
  • Key styles: oversized sweaters, off-shoulder styles, dresses and classic denim
  • Core colors and prints: blue and brown, dark wash denim, black, and timeless white
  • Shoes of the season: tall boots, ballet flats, and riding boots

From cozy everyday staples to elevated outerwear, here’s your complete guide to fall outfits.

Fall Fashion Trends 2025

Transitioning your wardrobe to suit the cooler seasons is easier than you might think, promise! No need to ditch your summer staples or refresh your entire wardrobe. You can make the most of what you already own, and fill the gaps with versatile essentials and statement pieces.

Our expert Global Style Director, Char, has a few predictions as to what will be on high rotation this season.

β€œThink core fall colors like chocolate brown, shades of blue, black, and of course, timeless white styles. You’ll see dark wash denim have a moment this fall, alongside stripes, faux suede and knits.”

Stripes

Stripes are having a moment this fall, especially oversized long-sleeve tops and rugby-inspired styles. Pair them with barrel-leg jeans and ballet flats for an effortless everyday look. They’re versatile enough for layering under trench coats or with cozy cardigans. So cute having the striped print pop through!

Suede Jackets

Faux suede jackets are the perfect transitional layer. Whether in bomber styles or fitted silhouettes, they add instant cool girl energy to any look. Opt for chocolate or tan shades to lean into trending fall colors.

Plaid & Check Print

The classic that always comes back. Plaid and check prints are here to stay, and we’re loving them right now in oversized outerwear and mini skirt styles. Lean into neutral tones for a timeless vibe, or go bold with jewel-toned checks.

Fall Occasions

From fall weddings and date nights to cozy nights in, fall is usually packed with celebrations and weekend plans.

By utilizing layering, textures, and silhouettes that feel effortless, you’ll have a wardrobe you can rely on all season long.

Fall Wedding Guest Outfits

Fall weddings hit different in the best way possible. The cooler weather makes for a more comfortable ceremony (no hot summer sun to stress about!), but you’ll be needing a β€˜fit that can take you into the colder nights.

  • Maxi and midi dresses in jewel tones, chocolate brown, navy or red
  • A longline coat or faux fur for chilly evenings
  • Statement details like neck scarves, cowl necks, or backless cuts

Warm & Cozy Outfits

We love fall for three main reasons: the trends are cute, holiday season is just around the corner and you can start dressing cozy for the cold weather ahead. For those chill weekends when all you want to do is grab a coffee and come back home to read your fave book, you’ll be needing some easy, casual fall outfits.

  • Matching knit or ribbed sets (sweater + shorts) styled with loafers or ballet flats
  • Cardigans and knit button-ups layered over tanks or tees
  • Opt for wide-leg track pants and off-shoulder sweaters! They feel more elevated than standard sets
  • Oversized sweaters with maxi skirts or dresses for a relaxed yet chic vibe

Fall Date Night Outfits

Reservation booked, night planned, but no outfit? Don’t stress, we’ve got your date night wardrobe covered. This season it’s all about playful details, flattering cuts, and fabrics that feel as good as they look.

Key styles to wear on repeat:

  • Long sleeve mini dresses with flattering necklines
  • Prints like polka dots and stripes
  • Statement details like off-the-shoulder necklines, fluted sleeves, or open-back cuts
  • Pair with tall boots or sleek heels to instantly elevate your look
