Fall Fashion Trend Predictions

Our ever-changing seasons bring cool winds, warm drinks, and new fashion trends. The summer of 2025 celebrated individuality through loud colors, sharp patterns, and fields of sequins. Fall presents changes big and small, and the future of fashion that I’m predicting is never better. Take a look into my crystal ball to see what’s in store!

1. Denim jackets

While everyone was rocking their leather jackets last fall, a new fabric has gained intense popularity this year: denim. We know it, we love it. It’s nothing new, but the vintage look it adds to your outfit really locks your vibe in place. You’re comfortable, timeless, and put together. Anyone and everyone can pull it off, from the cool girls on Pinterest to the moms at brunch. Investing in a good jacket doesn't have to break the bank, starting around $30 at most stores. If you’re interested in a more worn/gently used look, thrifting is the perfect way for you to find the denim jacket of your dreams.

2. Colorful accessories 

This summer was filled with statement tops that are the lead singers of your outfit. I’m predicting a transition to loud accessories as the air begins to chill. Accessories can make any basic outfit unique, and your personal style can shine through every season. Bulky scarves, bags, glasses, gloves, earmuffs, and socks will be big in the colder months. This is my favorite trend lately, due to the expression of personal style that many trends (such as clean girl or the beige epidemic) have dulled. If you're on the first steps of discovering your personal style, looking for accessories in colors you already love is a perfect start.

3. Knee-high boots

We've all seen our fair share of Sambas and Gazelles in the wild, but another fashion classic is coming back. Bella Hadid is one of the many girls who rocked knee-high boots this summer, and these shoes could be here to stay for the fall. Imagine walking on a sidewalk outside with a latte in one hand while stepping on a crunchy leaf under a powerful heel. This is a trend that you can personalize by finding boots in different colors, heights, and shapes. Happy walking!

4. Mom bags

There’s nothing quite like having a bag with everything you could need in it, and one that looks great with any outfit. If you love a good DIY, you’ll get a kick out of giving your bag a makeover. This trend won’t break the bank, and you can make any bag unique to your personality. Mom-style bags have gained popularity through the Jane Birkin bag trend, where people personalize their bags through keychains, bows, and trinkets that embody their personality. I decorated mine with old necklaces, keychains, ribbons, and charms. This trend started a new appreciation for handbags, and the larger the bag, the more space you have to personalize it. I’m predicting that fall will host neutral colored mom bags and muted colors, such as brown and burgundy. 

5. Patterned midi skirts

   

Our love for midi skirts has only grown bigger while our hemlines stay the same. We wore bright and tropical ones over our Italian-themed summer, and it’s become a staple in mainstream fashion. Autumn will welcome our beloved skirt gladly, changing nothing but a few colors and patterns. Polka-dots, dark colors, and stripes will take over the fabric, and I’m beyond excited. The midi skirt will make its mark for another season, and hopefully it’s here to stay.
