Sure, it might feel too early to start talking about pumpkin spice lattes, but it’s not too soon to embrace fall’s hottest trends.
This season, we’re sticking to the classics — but with a twist. This was proven during the New York Fashion Week Fall 2025 shows back in March. (We’re still obsessing over how Hailey Bieber wore a bomber jacket – a timeless autumn piece — with sheer polka dot tights at Saint Laurent for an edgy, polished finish.)
Some fads are making Us feel nostalgic, too, like statement-making fuzzy coats. Guess the mob wife aesthetic is back! Pro tip: try pairing a plush, textured coat with a silky gown for an instant wow factor.
Of course, there’s more! From plaid numbers to the one corporate-chic piece your closet absolutely needs, continue scrolling to see what other celebrity-worn trends are in for the cozy season:
Dot Couture
Polka dots were hot this summer and show no sign of fading away. But when it comes to wearing them, think outside the box: Throw a bomber jacket over a flowy maxi gown like Alessandra Ambrosio did, or dare to be bold and mix fun spots with something checkered, like Olivia Palermo.
Get Clad in Plaid
If you’re happiest sticking to the classics, here’s news: Woven patterns are back. Whether you try tartan trousers or a burgundy midi skirt similar to Aubrey Plaza’s (paired with a chunky knit or a tucked-in top), you can’t go wrong. We also love how Mindy Kaling’s round-toe pumps and bucket bag made an unexpected twist to traditional harvest-hued plaid.
Fur Sure
Whether you call it the mob wife aesthetic or just a showstopper topper, big fuzzy coats are still having a moment. From pastel numbers like the ones chosen by Keke Palmer and Jennifer Lopez to a more traditional black or brown, the snuggle is real!
Pencil Us In
A sharp, structured bottom doesn’t have to be boring. Far from stuffy office attire, pencil skirts are figure-flattering, versatile pieces that go effortlessly with your best blazer, knit, trench, graphic tee and every other top you can throw over them. When it comes to footwear, take note from Maya Jama and create the illusion of longer legs by choosing high, closed-toe shoes to accompany your fitted skirt. But if you feel like it’ll be too chilly for a skin-baring number, try a knitted set like Daisy Edgar-Jones.
