Honest & Unsponsored Best Buys: Fashion Trends for Fall 2025

Fall 2025 fashion is serving up bold animal prints, sumptuous faux fur, vibrant Technicolor hues, and a return to feminine curves—with designers rejecting minimal aesthetics in favour of statement-making pieces that celebrate individuality and maximalist glamour.

After seasons of quiet luxury and pared-back neutrals, I'm absolutely thrilled to report that fashion is finally having fun again. The autumn/winter 2025 runways were a riot of colour, texture, and unapologetic personality. From Prada's examination of modern femininity to Saint Laurent's explosive colour palette, this season is about dressing for yourself—not for anyone else's approval.

The Print That's Dominating Everything

If you own anything leopard print, dust it off now—this is your moment. Animal prints, particularly leopard and cheetah, dominated every major runway from Fendi to Roberto Cavalli. The key is styling it like a neutral rather than a novelty. I'm pairing my leopard midi skirt with a simple black rollneck and loafers for a sophisticated take that works for everything from coffee meetings to dinner out.

Zara has absolutely nailed the leopard trend with affordable printed coats and slip skirts that look far more expensive than they are. Mango offers gorgeous leopard accessories—their bags and scarves are perfect if you're testing the waters. For something more premium, Reiss has created elegant leopard blouses in silk that transition beautifully from desk to drinks. On the luxury end, Max Mara has stunning leopard coats in sumptuous wool that are genuine investment pieces.

Faux Fur Gets Luxe

Faux fur isn't just having a moment—it's the moment. Designers like Valentino and Chloé showcased shearling dyed to mimic mink, whilst fur trims appeared on everything from cocktail dresses to pleated skirts. This season's fur feels grown-up and genuinely luxurious.

Whistles does incredible faux fur gilets that add instant polish to jeans and boots. Massimo Dutti has beautiful shearling-trimmed coats with impeccable tailoring. All Saints offers edgier shearling jackets with their signature rock-and-roll aesthetic. For independent options, check out Stand Studio—a Swedish brand creating colourful, statement faux fur pieces that photograph beautifully—and Apparis, the vegan outerwear label loved by sustainability-conscious fashion editors.

Suede in All Its Glory

Rich, tactile textures are everywhere, and suede is leading the charge. From slouchy hobo bags to western-inspired boots, suede adds instant autumnal sophistication. The key is choosing pieces in those gorgeous earthy tones—chocolate brown, olive, wine, and taupe.

M&S has surprisingly chic suede ankle boots at brilliant price points. Jigsaw excels at suede skirts and jackets in beautiful jewel tones. LK Bennett offers premium suede court shoes that are genuinely comfortable. Loewe's suede bags remain the ultimate luxury splurge—their craftsmanship is unmatched.

Colour Makes a Comeback

Forget beige—Fall 2025 is about saturated, powerful colour. Think violet, kelly green, fuchsia, and scarlet alongside those classic earth tones. The trick is treating these vibrant shades like you would neutrals: pair them simply and let the colour do the talking.

Cos has created a stunning collection in rich jewel tones with their signature minimalist cuts. Boden brings colour with British charm through their cheerful knitwear and tailored pieces. Ted Baker never shies from colour and their autumn range is particularly strong.

The Silhouette That Flatters Everyone

Curved, voluminous shapes dominated the runways. Peplum waists, barrel denim, and rounded silhouettes appeared everywhere from Givenchy to Victoria Beckham. The midi skirt—particularly in pleated or A-line shapes—is the season's most wearable iteration of this trend.

H&M has brilliant pleated midi skirts in both classic and metallic finishes. French Connection does gorgeous slip skirts in satin that capture that Nineties nostalgia. For premium quality, Me&Em creates impeccably cut midi skirts that genuinely last. The Row offers architectural silhouettes for those seeking investment pieces.

Accessories That Complete the Look

Slouchy, squishy bags are replacing structured styles—think soft leather totes and suede hobos. Footwear is all about loafers with chunky soles, slouchy knee-high boots, and surprisingly, boat shoes styled in fresh ways.

Asos stocks affordable versions of every trending bag shape imaginable. Hobbs creates classic leather bags with modern updates. For luxury, Bottega Veneta's butter-soft leather bags remain the gold standard.

How to Wear These Trends

Don't feel you need to buy everything new. Start with one statement piece—perhaps a leopard coat or vibrant knit—and style it with pieces you already own. Layer suede over silk, pair faux fur with denim, mix patterns with confidence. The beauty of Fall 2025 is that it encourages individual expression rather than uniform dressing.

Remember, these trends work best when you choose pieces that genuinely suit your lifestyle and body shape. Not every trend needs to make it into your wardrobe—select what speaks to you and what you'll actually wear beyond this season.
