1. Furry Feelings Faux Fur

Is it even fall without some fuzzy fabulousness? Faux fur is dominating the season (even though it was by far absent from the runways for quite some time now) with its luxurious textures and animal-friendly ethos.

Seen on everything from oversized coats to chic stoles, bloomers and even bra tops, it’s all about making a cozy statement.

But can you really style it on an everyday basis? Actually, yes, you can! And here’s how –

  • Petite: Opt for shorter faux fur jackets or cropped styles to avoid looking overwhelmed. Pair with high-waisted jeans and maybe some tall boots to elongate your frame.
  • Curvy: Look for structured fur jackets with a belt (yes, belts are huge this season, more on that later) to define your waist.
  • Tall: Go ahead and wear that oversized faux fur coat—we love a dramatic queen. Pair it with boots for those endless-looking legs.
  • You can even try a faux fur clutch or scarf for a touch of texture without overpowering your outfit.

2. Mad for Plaid

I think by now we’ve established that plaid is synonymous with fall, like crisp air and golden leaves. Blazers, skirts, and sweaters in this print always flood the streets, but this year, Chanel and Burberry signalled a return to tailored looks with plaid and a punk edge.

You’ll be seeing plaid scarves, bags, and all kinds of accessories.to keep it preppy, polished, and absolutely playful.

  • If you have a petite frame, go for smaller, tighter plaid patterns to avoid looking swamped in prints.
  • Tall figure? Oversized plaid blazers with a turtleneck underneath? Yes, please. Stick to darker tones for extra sophistication.
  • You can also play with plaid by tying scarves as your belt, hair tie or wrapping them around your bag.

3. Chocolate Brown is the New Black

Every year, one color rules the runways and Pinterest like the British ruled the world. 2024 was about cherry red, and I kid you not, chocolate brown is the reigning queen of fall 2025. It’s cozy, it’s rich, and it flatters absolutely everyone.

  • Go monochrome with shades of brown layered for a chic tonal look.
  • Think chocolate brown with crisp whites or soft blues for contrast. Statement!
  • And if you want to add pizzazz, try pairing different textures together, like brown leather jackets with corduroy trousers.
  • Or chocolate brown leggings with a creamy beige oversized sweater and suede bag. Yum!

4. Funnel necks > turtle necks

Funnel-neck jackets have been everywhere for the past few seasons—and they’re not slowing down! These exaggerated collars are both functional and fierce, keeping you warm while giving your outfit a structured, high-fashion feel.

What started with Phoebe Philo has now taken over runways from Gucci to Chloe, with each brand adding its own twist to keep the trend feeling fresh.

But how can you style it in your own way?

  • If you have a shorter neck or a petite frame in general, opt for a low funnel neck that adds drama without overwhelming your features.
  • Typically, closed necks are not your best friend if you have broad shoulders. But you can balance the look by choosing soft, drapey fabrics for funnel necks.

Pro Tip: Keep your hair in a sleek ponytail or messy bun to give the neckline its moment.

5. Belts. Big. Small. Thick. Thin.

This season, belts are making waves in XXL, XXL-small, and everything in between.

From thick leather corset styles to barely-there chain belts, runways from Gucci to Dior made belts the focal point. They’re no longer an accessory; they’re the moment.

Belt your oversized blazer or coat with a thick leather strap for an instant fashion upgrade.

  • If you’re short and chubby, stick to sleeker belts around your natural waist. Aim for thinner styles that don’t overpower your frame.
  • For curvy gals? Cinch your waistline just above the hips with a bold, wide belt over dresses and oversized knits to create a stunning hourglass effect.

6. Polka Power

We all love our leopard prints during fall and even though they are not going anywhere, we still have found our long lost baby this year on the runways.

Polka dots are back, proving once again that the classics never lose their charm. Whether it’s tiny, delicate dots or bold, oversized spots, this playful trend has the perfect dose of retro nostalgia with a modern twist.

I would love seeing dotted scarves added to a monochrome look in some way. Or midi dresses layered under trench coats and paired with loafers.

But as with every other print, you need to keep in the size of it to keep your body proportions balanced and look cute.

  • If you have a shorter body type, stick to smaller, more delicate-sized polka dots on structured blouses or A-line skirts.
  • Of course, if you’re thin and tall, you can experiment with bigger dots on midi dresses and wide-leg pants to make you look wider.

7. Slippers Outside the House

Yes, you read that right. Slippers are no longer confined to your bedroom! Designers have taken “comfort meets couture” to new heights, and now you’ll find plush, cushioned slippers paired with business-casual looks or even dresses.

No, they are not fuzzy, fluffy ones like your UGGs, but sleeker, dressier versions of them. Maybe it’s the post-pandemic shift toward cozy living. Maybe it’s fashion’s eternal quest to surprise us. Whatever the reason, we love it.

Opt for sleek, leather slippers in a neutral tone and pair them with tailored pants or slim fit jeans and a tucked-in blouse.

8. Soft Slouchy Bags

Big, slouchy bags are the answer to the “tiny micro-purse” fatigue. It’s soft, oversized, and feels like carrying a chic pillow that happens to hold all your essentials (and then some).

These understated, casual carryalls feel unapologetically laid-back but still luxurious, often crafted from buttery-soft leathers or lush suedes.

  • Pair a neutral-toned slouchy bag with a monochrome outfit for effortless sophistication.
  • Go bold with a brightly colored bag to elevate your casual jeans-and-sweater combo.
  • Mix textures, like a suede bag with leather boots, to add depth to your fall ensemble.

9. Ladylike Style is Having a Moment

Ladylike fashion is enjoying a grand revival, balancing grace and power with a modern edge. Picture pencil skirts, midi skirts, lots of tweed and lace, power suits, pearl details, and structured blouses taking center stage.

But it also does not have to mean prim and proper. You can mix these pieces with bold, modern touches to break the rules—gracefully.

Like a lace skirt with a chunky knit sweater, or pairing a pencil skirt with a floor-length trench coat.
