11 Fall Trends Modeliste Editors are Shopping
As the leaves turn and the air crisps, fall fashion beckons with a mix of daring new silhouettes and refreshed classics. This season, Modeliste editors are curating a wardrobe that balances drama with ease, statement with sophistication, and texture with color. From the sway of fringe to the cozy embrace of faux fur, these 11 trends define what it means to dress for autumn in 2025—elevated, expressive, and unapologetically stylish. Each trend is a page in the story of the season, offering inspiration for editors, influencers, and style enthusiasts alike.
1. The Statement Skirt
This season, skirts aren’t just skirts—they’re declarations. Pleated metallics, bold plaids, and asymmetric hems turn the simplest outfit into a showstopper. Pair with a neutral top and chunky boots for day, or a sleek turtleneck and heels for evening. Modeliste editors are gravitating toward pieces that offer movement, drama, and a whisper of whimsy.
2. The Collarless Coat
Streamlined and minimal, the collarless coat epitomizes modern sophistication. Think sleek lines, tonal tailoring, and unexpected textures like brushed wool or velvet. The absence of a collar invites layering, making it a canvas for scarves, statement necklaces, or contrasting tops—perfect for city strolls or art gallery hopping.
3. Fringe with Benefits
Fringe is back with a purpose, offering playful movement without tipping into costume territory. From leather jackets to midi skirts, the trend adds kinetic energy to every step. Editors are layering fringe over monochrome basics, letting the subtle sway of leather, suede, or silk do the talking.
4. Boho Chic
This fall, boho is more elevated than ever. Think romantic silhouettes, puffed sleeves, tiered skirts, and warm earthy tones. Accessorize with stacked rings, suede boots, and wide belts to anchor the look. It’s the perfect balance of casual ease and carefully curated luxury—a wardrobe nod to effortless elegance.
5. Seeing Red
Red is the color of confidence, and editors are embracing it from head to toe. From crimson coats to scarlet blouses and ruby boots, red reigns supreme as a bold, empowering hue. Pair with neutrals or let it dominate for maximum impact. This is the shade that demands attention—without saying a word.
6. The Scarf Coat
The scarf coat blends practicality with style in one effortless piece. Oversized silhouettes with attached scarves or long draping panels are ideal for layering over chunky knits. Whether knotted, draped, or wrapped, this trend is all about cozy sophistication with editorial flair.
7. All Day Suede
Suede gets a modern refresh this fall, moving beyond jackets and boots into skirts, dresses, and tailored trousers. Its soft, tactile texture adds warmth and depth to every outfit. Editors are mixing camel and chocolate tones with unexpected accents—metallics, leopard prints, or bold accessories—for a luxe take on a classic fabric.
8. Creative Curves
Fall shapes are embracing curves—both in design and silhouette. Think puffed shoulders, cinched waists, and asymmetric hems that enhance natural movement. From dresses to coats, the emphasis is on fluidity, volume, and playful proportions. It’s a trend that celebrates femininity with a fearless twist.
9. A New Active
Athleisure evolves into “A New Active,” a trend that blends high-performance fabrics with runway-ready designs. Cropped blazers over sleek leggings, statement sneakers, and structured hoodies redefine what it means to be both polished and ready to move. It’s comfort with an undeniable editorial edge.
10. Walk on the Wild Side
Animal prints are everywhere, but this season they’re reinvented. Zebra, python, and leopard appear in unexpected colorways and luxe fabrics—think silk, faux fur, and satin. Editors are mixing prints with tonal layers or pairing with bold accessories, ensuring that wild doesn’t just mean loud—it means irresistible.
11. Faux Fur
Faux fur reigns supreme as the ultimate fall indulgence. Editors are stocking up on coats, stoles, and statement vests in jewel tones, pastels, and classic neutrals. Ethical, dramatic, and undeniably cozy, faux fur transforms any outfit into a style statement, pairing perfectly with everything from jeans to evening dresses.
