Quiet Luxury isn't so quiet this season...

Women's fall fashion trends takes a new direction!

1. Oversized Blazers & Power Tailoring

We all recognize that tailored blazers have made a significant comeback and are here to stay. What's different this time is their unapologetically bold and empowering nature. Imagine oversized, double-breasted blazers in traditional menswear patterns like houndstooth, chalk stripe, and windowpane, reinterpreted with a feminine perspective. Sculpted shoulder pads pay homage to ‘80s power dressing, while softened fabrics such as brushed wool, matte twill, and knit suiting convey a modern, classic ease. Think of classic ‘80s movies like Michelle Pfeiffer's white suit in Scarface, The Heathers, Pretty in Pink, and Working Girl. It embodies the “Office Siren” aesthetic, as seen on Kendall Jenner in Paris, but tailored for women who lead.

Style it: Pair with a sculpted pencil skirt or pinstriped trousers. Cinch your blazer with a belt to create an hourglass silhouette, or combine it with a bold, artistic leotard for a dramatic touch. The look? An edgy, structured, and versatile dress. Complete the ensemble with leather boots for added weight and polish.

2. Luxe Textures: Faux Fur, Velvet & Satin

Experiment with texture this season. Texture is your secret weapon this fall and faux fur, liquid satin, plush velvet, and glossy silk create a visual dream between softness and power, texture and tension. These materials wrap you in comfort without compromising stylish credibility. Perfect for navigating high-stakes, client meetings or after-hours strategy sessions with you business bestie.

Style it: Layer a coat with faux-fur trim over a structured, knee-length denim skirt. Lace-up boots are catching attention on the RWS radar for a casual, effortless look this Fall season. Unstructured bags, fresh from the runway, provide a chic alternative for women entrepreneurs. Complete this ensemble with a pop of berry stain lipstick and toffee-colored nail polish.

3. Animal Prints, Refined & Reimagined

Leopards, tigers, and snakes... Oh my! The Fall 2025 season broadens the range of animal motifs to feature zebra, crocodile embossing, deer-hide patterns, and gorgeous abstract interpretations. The new approach? Intentional, measured use of wild prints for striking impact and bold, stylish statements. Designers are concentrating on integrating these animal-inspired elements in a way that feels fresh and contemporary, rather than overpowering.

Style it: Combine a leopard print slip dress with a structured, rich chocolate brown moto jacket. Add contrast with deep wine burgundy shades on your nails, lips, and handbag. Finish the look with slip-on kitten heels and a layered necklace for a polished touch.

4. Modern Stripes: Precision, Not Playfulness

Bold stripes step out of their summer nautical lane and into sharper, more structured territory this fall. Think pinstripe suiting with an elegant twist, such as wider spacing, asymmetrical layouts, stripe -on- stripe or tonal-on-tonal contrasts that echo architectural lines. Designers are using stripes to sculpt the body, elongate silhouettes, and inject empowered motion into otherwise traditional, corporate, classic stripes. It's less about whimsy, more about strategy, perfect for the woman who means business this fall 2025 season.

Style it: Opt for a silk, pinstriped collar top combined with stunning leather, wide-legged trousers, or choose a pinstripe, pussybow blouse with timeless, high-waisted, boot-cut jeans for a look of stylish authority. To finish off this ensemble, add elegant gold accessories like earrings or a bracelet, along with a boldly colored shoe and handbag for a polished statement.

This season's standout combination? A stunning tan suede midi skirt, a creamy cable-knit sweater, and slouchy ankle boots in warm taupe or soft gray. All you need is a delicious latte in hand to start your day! This understated outfit exudes stylish confidence. The suede provides depth and luxurious texture for a fall look; the cable-knit sweater offers comfort with a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe enjoying a coffee on a fall afternoon. As for the boots, they are relaxed yet refined—effortlessly anchoring the ensemble. Together, they create a power-casual silhouette that feels both intentional and effortless.

Style it: Tuck a chunky ivory cable knit into a high-waisted suede skirt, then finish with animal print boots and a structured crossbody bag. Add gold hoops or a sleek watch for a polished touch. This look transitions seamlessly from team meetings to client lunches.

6. Burgundy & Oxblood: The Power of Deep Regal Reds

Fall 2025 leans heavily into wine-drenched tones! Decadent, regal oxblood, deep burgundy, and rich merlot, as either full monochrome moments or strategic bursts of color. These regal hues carry a quiet intensity: more grounded than red, more commanding than brown. A head-to-toe look in one of these shades exudes depth and control, while a single wine-toned piece... a blouse, a boot, a belt adds instant richness to neutral layers.

Style it: Opt for a structured oxblood blazer over a cream turtleneck and camel trousers for decadent balance. Try a full monochrome moment with a burgundy satin blouse, wool trousers, and matching outerwear. Or simply add deep red accessories. Think a croc-embossed bag or square-toe boots to elevate an otherwise minimal look.
