As the cool, crisp air of fall draws near, changing your wardrobe from summer is a must, especially as the temperature begins to plummet. For Middle Schoolers, this simply means adding a sweatshirt to your everyday outfit, and if you’re feeling adventurous, maybe even pulling on pants. But for Upper Schoolers? The possibilities of clothing are endless. This can either be a blessing, as it gives you an opportunity to express yourself in your clothing, or it can be a curse, as you have no clue what to wear in the morning. For people who have no clue what to wear, this article is for you.
According to Vogue, “The fall 2025 fashion trends were personality-driven”. Compared to summer fashion, designers have decided to pause on the frills and create refined, unconventional looks that draw the eyes of everyone you encounter. Everyone from minimalists to maximalists can find the perfect outfit with the fall styles this year.
Red has come back with a fiery vengeance this year. Major brands like Calvin Klein and Altuzarra donned head-to-toe scarlet outfits, while Tony Burch and Gucci flashed quieter shades at us. Compared to 2024, when oxblood was the staple hue in fall fashion, colors like chili-pepper red are being used by designers for statement pieces and outerwear (Vogue). For a feminine fall look that incorporates red, outfits like a cropped sweater from J.Crew, a crepe wrap skirt from Tory Burch, or a belted jacket from Magda Butrym all fit the label. Ralph Lauren’s red polo, paired with Abercrombie’s khaki pants and signature Ray-Bans, creates the perfect, casual fall outfit for guys that contains this bright color for fall 2025.
Imagine if you were standing in England during the Victorian Era. Everywhere you looked, both males and females donned high collars, effectively covering up their necks, as was the style of fashion back then. Surprisingly enough, high collars are dominating runways all over the world and are in demand for fall styles. J.Crew’s Standing Collar Blazer, Burberry’s Silk Scarf Trench Coat, Prada’s Shetland Wool Jacket, and Cos’s Wool Jacket all offer this Victorian-style collar.
Pantone, a company that developed a universal color matching system, crowned mocha mousse, a “warming, brown hue imbued with richness” (Pantone), the 2025 color of the year. Shades of brown are ruling much more than the world of clothing. Millions of people refurnish their homes and cars with these once-boring hues. Runways have been flooded with this color, especially during the fall season. If you want to incorporate this color into your outfit, Fforme’s Yves Wrap Coat, Toteme’s Draped Maxi Dress, and The Row’s Miles Silk Blouse all fit this category perfectly. Gucci’s wool cotton jersey shirt is a casual but stylish top for guys.
If you want to reuse last year’s fall wardrobe, know that suede is in this year as well. From Sergio Hudson’s tailored trench coats to Miu Miu’s oversized peacoats, this gorgeous material is in style for both outerwear and accessories. Some items you can add to your wardrobe include: Quince’s Suede Biker Jacket, which gives off edgy but stylish vibes; FitFlop SHUV Suede Clogs, a semi-formal, stylish alternative to Crocs; and Boden Suede Shift Dress.
