The Runway Looks for Fall 2025 That Will Set the Trend for Cool Style This Year

      If you're curious about the styles the fashion crowd will be embracing, recreating, and iterating on soon, I recommend checking out these 11 runway moments. While there are several broader trends emerging, I am highlighting specific looks from the fall/winter 2025 runways that I believe will serve as the main sources of fashionable inspiration this year. Throughout fashion month, these particular images sparked excitement in group chats and social media feeds, and I can confidently assert that these styles will establish the year's vibe. Each season, we turn to the runways for overarching trends, but if you analyze closely, you can connect the key elements back to a select few specific looks—whether it be a piece of clothing, a unique styling trick, a hue likely to become popular, or an overall ambiance. In six months, celebrity stylists will be incorporating these looks for their clients, and they will appear in magazine editorial spreads and on your social media platforms. Regardless of whether it's the exact styles or clever interpretations, these runway looks are poised to shape fashionable aesthetics this year. Consider this your primer on fall 2025 fashion.

      Miu Miu Look 48: Exposed Bras

      The beauty of Miu Miu runways often lies in the finer details. This season, that included exposed bras subtly visible beneath crushed-satin dresses with straps casually slipping off the models' shoulders. Bra elements have been a recurring theme in the fall/winter 2025 collections, but their influence was particularly strong here. Come fall, fashion enthusiasts will likely be recreating this style with lingerie designed to be seen at the forefront.

      Calvin Klein Look 10: Retro Suiting

      Blazers are always a smart investment, but a complete suit is the ultimate wise buy. This fall will showcase a collection of retro skirt suits inspired by either the glamour of the 1950s or the corporate styles of the 1980s. Calvin Klein channeled the latter with a strong-shouldered, collarless blazer and pencil skirt in a practical slate gray, complemented by a kiss-lock handbag and classic pumps. The moment this look appeared on the runway, tastemakers universally praised the '80s suiting silhouette, indicating that this trend has staying power.

      Khaite Look 22: Over-the-Knee Boots

      Khaite sets trends rather than follows them. One style I anticipate becoming popular this fall is flat knee-high boots similar to those featured in this collection. Here, they were paired with Khaite's signature slim-fit denim in a dark wash, tucked into the boots—a styling choice that may very well become the go-to method for this footwear trend.

      Saint Laurent Look 1: Technicolor Tones

      For several seasons, it has been generally accepted that vibrant, highlighter shades have fallen out of favor in favor of soft pastels and crisp neutrals. Nonetheless, this may shift in six months if Saint Laurent has a say in the matter. Designer Anthony Vaccarello presented several short belted jackets in a variety of Technicolor shades, including violet, tangerine, fuchsia, and scarlet.

      Tory Burch Look 11: Sporty Touches

      Two words: track pants. Tory Burch is making a compelling argument for incorporating this sportswear staple into high fashion. The brand showcased several track pants on its fall runway, styled with sharply tailored blazers and luxurious fur jackets, giving the casual piece an instant elevated vibe. They are so unconventional that they might just work.

      Fendi Look 84: Full-Time Fur

      If I had to summarize the entire fall 2025 season in one word, it would be furry. Fur was omnipresent this season as designers showcased fur coat after fur coat, but Fendi's approach is poised to be particularly prominent this winter. The Italian house displayed vintage-inspired fur coats and exquisite fur stoles that accompanied delicate lace skirts and peep-toe pumps for a nostalgic twist on evening wear that had fashion editors enamored.

      Kallmeyer Look 6: Plaid Predominance

      Now that fashion month has concluded, I can confidently assert that plaid was the hidden trend of the season. It appeared at Calvin Klein, TWP, and Kallmeyer, but it was Kallmeyer's styling that I believe will resonate most come fall—a plaid shirt casually tied around the waist feels perfectly on-trend.

      Schiaparelli Look 5: Belts on Belts

      Belts are taking a bold turn. Whether they are double-wrapped or even triple-layered, fall will be the season of the statement belt. One example is Schiaparelli's look 5, where a model cinched her leather skirt with three Western metal-closure belts for dramatic impact.

      The Row Look 20: Trench Coats 2.0

      If The Row suggests a trend, we take notice. In this instance, they are advocating for shorter jackets; after several seasons dominated
