8 Autumn 2025 Trends That Have Already Received It-Girl Approval

      It's true that summer is in full bloom with long days and high temperatures, but we're gradually approaching autumn, and the trends that It girls are adopting are signaling this change. For celebrities and influencers, showcasing new seasonal trends is an integral part of their role, which is why I pay attention to their styles to identify the trends that are emerging first. As August progresses, we will undoubtedly see more autumn trends being embraced. I spent a considerable amount of time exploring the Instagram feeds of It girls and discovered a selection of early autumn trends they're already embracing. If you want to start your autumn shopping alongside the back-to-school commercials, keep scrolling to get a head start with the It girl–endorsed trends I noticed.

      1. Funnel-Neck Jackets
