The fall/winter fashion season is underway and while we have just had the very exciting SS26 shows, my brain is still very much focused on what to wear for autumn 2025. The Fall 2025 trends have already taken shape, determined largely by the runway shows held this past February and if like me, you’re planning your autumn outfits there is a lot to be excited about.

Tagwalk, a leading provider of fashion insights, has released a report on the top trends and data to come out of Paris Fashion Week, including which of those trends are on the rise and decline.

As always, fashion trends are just guidelines and you should wear whatever makes you feel good, whether it is ‘in fashion’ or not. Just because a style is fading doesn’t mean you need to ditch it. But if you are thinking of investing in some new pieces for fall 2025, or simply in need of a little guidance, it is always worthwhile knowing which trends are taking over.

And, if you’re someone who prefers to go against the curve and wear the exact opposite of what everyone else is wearing, then this list will also be beneficial to you!

So, whether you’re drawn to leather looks, tailored suits, or bold pops of colour, the fall 2025 fashion trends are all about reimagining timeless styles for a new season. And while some autumn trends are fading, the excitement of fresh inspiration makes 2025’s fashion forecast anything but dull.

Fall 2025 Trends to Watch Out For

According to Tagwalk, the following autumn 2025 trends are on the rise:

Leather

Leather remains one of the strongest fall/winter 2025 fashion trends, so it’s hardly surprising that this has appeared on the list. Yet, according to Tagwalk’s data, leather appeared in 50% more looks compared to the past season! 67 out of the 71 brands that showed during Paris Fashion Week had leather in their collections, including Balmain, Schiaparelli, Zimmermann, Givenchy, Dior, Isabel Marant, and Givenchy.

Bold Colours

This one is a more surprising addition to the list, as we are typically used to seeing subtler hues of black, white, beige, and grey during the fall season with maybe a sprinkle of forest green and burgundy. Yet, it appears for 2025 we are going bolder, which is always a welcome change. There was a 104% increase in looks featuring a brighter colour palette this season – appearing in the collections of Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Chanel, Acne Studios, Balmain, and Louis Vuitton.

Fringe

Cowboycore was one of 2024s defining aesthetics – with cowboy boots, brown suede, and flared denim seen everywhere. Now another micro trend has emerged from this aesthetic; fringe. Tagwalk reports a 160% increase in fringe at Paris Fashion Week. Alaïa showed fringed skirts with accentuated hips while Stella McCartney had bodysuits, jeans, blazers, dresses, and jumpers all decorated with fringe.

Tailoring

Tailoring usually makes it to any list of trends to look out for, but for FW25 structured blazers and chic pant suits are going to be even more popular. This trend appeared in 141% more looks than last season. Appearing in the collections of Miu Miu, Victoria Beckham, Dsquared2, Givenchy, and Casablanca. Grey suits in particular seem to be the way to go.

Trends on the Decline for Fall 2025

According to Tagwalk, the following trends are on the decline:

Logos

Over the past few seasons, we have seen a rise in logomania – an extension of the maximalist trend. Especially when it comes to street style with Timothée Chalamet and Doechii sporting the 2000s trend. Yet, the runways of Paris actually showed a 48% decrease in the number of looks that featured a brand logo – suggesting that perhaps all-out brand maximalism is not the next big thing. That being said, the beloved J’adore Dior tee made a very welcome return to the brands latest FW25 collection and immediately went to the top of my wishlist.

Not ready to part with maximalist fashion? Here Are 6 Autumn 2025 Trends That Are Meant For The Maximalist

Animal print

You either love it or you hate it, but either way we have seen an abundance of animal print of late. Leopard largely dominated last year while more recently cow print seems to be the go-to. Which is why it is surprising to hear that it too is a trend on the decline come fall, with a 44% decrease on last season. Balmain, Saint Laurent, and Ludovic de Saint Sernin are just some of the few brands to show animal print in their FW25 collections.

Drape

This is one that is less of a trend and more of a staple. So, despite a 44% decrease in looks featuring draping compared to last season, it actually isn’t going anywhere. Alaïa and Victoria Beckham both showed stunning draped dresses with a sculptural twist in their recent collections. While Dries van Noten featured draping across trousers, skirts, jumpers, and dresses.

Burgundy

Another one that is more of a Fall wardrobe staple. Yet, while it has been the it-colour of the past few seasons, burgundy as a trend is actually on the decline if the Paris FW25 shows are anything to go by. It will of course always be an appropriate colour to wear once the weather gets cooler as shown by Stella McCartney, Dior, and Courrèges this season.
