This fall is all about being classy yet fun, funky yet chic. The typical dark colors of the cold season, combined with interesting textures and fabrics seen throughout all 2025 fall runways, create a look that is both cool and elegant. This season features moody tones, paired with sweet silhouettes that emphasizes contrast and juxtaposition. Fall runways showed a variety of different styles and textures while maintaining balance in every outfit. Let's take a look at the most prominent trends in the fall runways that will be seen throughout this fall season.

1. Ballet Flats

Aside from the obvious go-to footwear for every year's fall season, ballet flats are this year's most popular option. Much more comfortable than heels, but more chic than sneakers, these flats are the perfect way to add interest to any fall outfit. These sweet and classy shoes in a darker color or paired with denim gives them a modern and casual look.

2. Peacoats

A great way to stay warm this fall and winter, peacoats are a cooler alternative to the typical puffer or blazer. You can style them with jeans or dress them up with a mini skirt. Many people are taking inspiration from the fall trends in the 2000’s to style these coats.

3. Faux Fur

Fur jackets, fur boots and fur accessories add texture to your outfit and keep you cozy. When styled right, they create a classic elegant look with a touch of funky-ness. They’re soft and sweet, yet when they come in dark colors and are worn with a more edgy outfit, they create a great contrast and balance in a look.

4. Lace

Lace detailing on dresses and shirts are a beautiful way to spice up a regular outfit for an evening out this fall. They were seen in runways as trims on slip dresses or tank tops, or the main focus of sheer shirts. These sweet lace accents paired with leather or denim jackets and bottoms allow for a full range of style and texture in an outfit. Because it’s so thin, pieces containing lace allow for many layering options this fall. Sweaters with peek-a-boo lace detail, boots with lacy socks and lace underneath jackets. These are just some ways you can get creative when layering and styling lace.

5. Pearls

Pearls will always be timeless, but this fall especially, there will be lots of pearl jewelry and pearls on accessories. Pearl details on bags, sunglasses, shirts and dresses will be seen all throughout the fall and winter seasons. Pearls are a sweet detail and match almost anything, allowing for lots of freedom when creating the rest of your outfit. Classic pearls will always be in style, but there is also a trend of alternative pearls like mother of pearl detail, or colored pearls. Having these interesting pearl details elevates an outfit from a sweet and classic look to something with modernity and sophistication. They pair especially well with lace, leather and fur, and can be great accessories for a monochromatic look if you can find pearls in your desired color. 

The classic muted tones of fall paired with interesting textures to create balance is the main focus of the 2025 fall fashion season. By incorporating these trends in a fall outfit, you are able to mix modern with classic, and chic with funky to create the perfect blend and balance.
