Here are 35 Fashion Week trends that are worth adding to your fall shopping cart.
Leopard print coat with matching ballet pumps
Bergdorf Goodman Women’s Senior Vice President and Director of Store Display Linda Fargo told Askew earlier this season that feminine tailoring would be at the forefront of trends this fall. Her opinion on this trend was on full display at Paris Fashion Week, where she wore a stunning leopard print coat. Underneath, she paired it with a Breton striped T-shirt and her usual pair of blue jeans. Meanwhile, Fargo’s matching leopard print flats complete the look. Take a look below.
Oversized Khaki Trench Coat with Preppy Plaid Shirt
Classic khaki trench coat season is here! Opt for a slightly oversized coat this fall, like this street stylist’s wide-shouldered one. Then, dress it up even more with a red and white plaid shirt and baggy wide-leg jeans. For a welcome pop of color, wear Adidas’ fiery red Japan sneakers.
A billowy shirt paired with a cool mesh tote
Flowy blouses, or as we like to call them smart tops, were an instant hit on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways, beloved for their wearability and effortless polish. The street style scene was also consistent, with the insider styling her look with pinstriped pants and a cuffed sleeve blazer. She completed her look by carrying a mesh handbag to keep the summer feeling going longer. The result? A transitional piece that combines the best of both seasons.
A pair of retro sneakers with a Prada canvas barn jacket
No fall outerwear trend is as popular as the barn jacket. Thanks to luxury brands like Prada and The Row, preppy options look great with a little black dress or dressy jeans. Prada’s choice of canvas with a leather-trimmed collar is a must-have, said fashion retail and brand strategist Ramya Giangola. Complete your look with a pair of retro sneakers and a chestnut brown cross-body bag.
Statement-making red midi skirt with menswear-style layering
Check out this street styler for a great lesson in layering. Start by pairing a classic navy blazer with a blue and white striped button-down top, then tie a cozy crewneck sweater around your waist for extra points. Wear it with a flowing red midi skirt and knee-high riding boots for a stylish look. This look also needs a matching top handle lady bag.
Ganni’s sporty striped polo shirt and Alaïa’s crystal-embellished Mary Janes
Ganni’s striped polo shirt adds a playful touch to your autumn uniform. Outside the Copenhagen-based brand’s show in Paris, attendees styled their uniforms with pleated denim midi skirts and Alaïa’s whimsical crystal-embellished Mary Janes. The final look is a fun, stylish mix of ultra-femininity and masculinity.
Scarf Jacket with Stylish Grey Jeans
Any fashion lover knows the popularity of the scarf jacket – it’s a two-in-one outerwear option that’s been dominating the shopping scene for the past few seasons. Style-wise, tone down the drama by pairing it with stylish grey jeans and square-toe ankle boots. A simple black shoulder bag is another minimalist essential that gives you the most bang for your buck.
Chloé’s lace-trimmed leather biker jacket paired with a slip skirt
This lace-trimmed slip dress is one of our favorites from Chloé’s pre-fall collection, and it caught not only our attention (and shopping cart!) but also Nordstrom fashion director Ricky De Sole’s attention. In keeping with the brand’s lookbook, De Sole paired her dress with a sleek biker jacket, a chunky turtleneck, and pointed-toe knee-high boots. Create your own with a piece like the one below.
Faux fur and denim for fall
Yes, it’s time to wear your fabulous faux fur coat! It’s long been a staple of street style and is regularly worn with denim at shows. When it comes to accessories, opt for a knitted tote and smocking loafers instead of lug-soled boots or a suede tote. Their time will come soon.
Funnel collar jackets and slippers are not suitable for sleeping
Whether on the catwalk or off, black and white always grabs attention. Replicate the street stylist’s monochromatic moments with a beige shell jacket from Uniqlo, a voluminous leather maxi skirt and an oversized white t-shirt. Let’s not forget her comfortable footwear choices – leather slippers are not appropriate for the bedroom!
Distressed modal loafers with suede shoulder bag
A pair of well-worn smoke loafers is a favorite among fashionable girls every season. Take this off-duty model, for example. She paired the shoes with short white socks and kept the rest of her look as simple as possible in a gray crewneck sweatshirt and calf-leg pants. Notable is her suede shoulder bag, which adds a touch of luxury to everyday outfits.
Luxurious suede skirt paired with a corduroy-trimmed field jacket
Speaking of suede, it’s hard to ignore the mid-calf skirt worn by this showgoer on the catwalk outside the streets of the Grand Palais. Style-wise, she’s added another hot trend this season: a corduroy-trimmed field jacket. For a stylish and elegant look, she paired platform sandals with menswear-style ankle socks. From day to night, this is the perfect look to complete a month-long fashion celebration! See you next season, Paris!

Alaïa stylish suede jacket paired with Le Tekel bag
There’s no denying that suede is dominating the Spring/Summer 2025 street style scene, with everyone from off-duty models to Askew editors embracing the trendy fall texture. Show-goers paired their suede blazer shirts with plain white T-shirts and preppy plaid pants during Milan Fashion Week. Alaïa’s eye-catching Le Tekel bag can’t be overlooked when it comes to matching. Consider this a lesson in how to incorporate one of fall’s hottest new trends in a restrained yet elegant way.
Scarf Sweater with Basic Blue Jeans
The street style scene has spoken! Everyday wear and casual luxury have become popular trends. Take this street stylist, for example. She elevated her style to a scarf-style cashmere sweater with a classic white t-shirt and blue jeans, and a pair of simple suede mules. The result is simple and understated, while feeling fresh and cool. As for the handbag? Keep your hands free with Lee Studio’s cross-body leather wallet.
Oversized leather bomber jacket with transparent skirt
We’ve always loved pairing a stylish oversized leather bomber jacket with a cute sheer midi skirt. This look first became popular in the spring and is perfect for fall, too. Complete the look with career-girl heels and a roomy handbag, just like this insider does. One thing’s for sure: your co-workers and dinner dates will love it.
Leopard print coat with little black Mary Jane
Take a wild walk this fall in a calf-length leopard-print coat. With a bold print like this, you can pair the rest of your look with simple wardrobe basics, like black flared pants and a cozy new knit. When it comes to accessories, a patent Mary Jane keeps things sweet and totally timeless.
Prada Grey Cashmere Crew Neck Fancy Flats
This fall, the street fashion scene is making a strong case for referencing everyday glamorous gems. Nothing helps achieve this look more than Prada’s bubblegum pink satin pumps. Fashion editor and stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson paired the statement shoes with a flowy cashmere crewneck sweater, lace-trimmed slip dress, and Prada buckle-embellished tote. Below, recreate her look with similar pieces.
A statement striped shirt paired with a work jacket
Like the classic trench coat, the pocket cargo jacket is a timeless classic. Known for its lightweight coverage and slightly loose silhouette, complete your look with a bold blue and white button-down top, slim-fitting black trousers, and pointy-toe black ballet flats. Wear this look now and always – it’s timeless for a reason!
Double suede with thick weave
What style slogans can we expect this fall? Double the suede, double the fashion fun! Take a page from the show’s regular styling tips and create a textured look with patent leather Mary Janes and a chunky knit. You never know when the temperature will suddenly drop!
Borgosa’s cape shirt and favorite black trousers
Lauren Eggertsson’s latest look on the streets of Milan Fashion Week was a masterclass in minimalist dressing. Simple yet effective, it starts with a flowy cape shirt from Borgosa, a pair of sleek black trousers and a dramatic belt. For an extra cool-girl touch, add the finishing touches with pointed-toe black ankle boots.
Leopard Print Kitten Heel Women Skirt
Nowadays, no woman’s look is complete without leopard print kitten heel pumps. Wear yours with a crisp blue button-down shirt and an A-line knit midi skirt from The Frankie Shop. Like this guest from Milan Fashion Week, pair it with a large burgundy Margaux clutch from The Row for a sophisticated pop of color.
Bailey short coat with knee high riding boots
If you still have a trench coat in your spring wardrobe, opt for a sleek short coat instead. Style-wise, keep the look cool and classic by pairing it with knee-high riding boots and an oversized men’s style shirt. Colourful handbags are a fresh way to add contrast to neutral outfits.
Frayed denim midi skirt with striped t-shirt
Also at London Fashion Week, AskMen’s senior fashion editor Naomi Alizée shone with her signature eclectic style. Like Naomi, play with prints and textures with a striped baby tee, a frayed denim midi skirt and a pair of embellished pointy-toe pumps. Bonus points if you carry Bottega Veneta’s mini Jodie bag in a festive eggplant hue.

Zebra print midi skirt with Alaïa’s It bag
Wondering what Askew’s Executive Fashion Director Lisa Aiken is wearing for autumn? It’s a combination of trendy fashion and simple wardrobe classics. Pictured here, Aiken attended last weekend’s fashion show wearing a zebra-print midi skirt, Proenza Schouler’s two-tone sandals, and Alaïa’s latest It bag, the East-West Le Tekel Tote. Let’s take a look at her style below!
Chloé’s two-tone blue jeans and vibrant graphic T-shirt
Yes, T-shirts and blue jeans were also seen on the streets of New York Fashion Week! Who can say no when the jeans are two-tone flared jeans from Chloé Chemena Kamali’s first Fall/Winter 2024 collection? Complete your look like Aurora James with heeled ballet flats and a chic tote.
Collarless women’s jacket and tailored Bermuda shorts
The ladylike dressing trend that dominated our spring shopping carts is back, and collarless jackets are better than ever. Several styles have already appeared on the spring runways: Tibi and Sandy Liang are among them! Just like Escue Shopping writer Laura Jackson, wear it with a pair of custom Bermuda shorts, an oversize pearl necklace, and kitten heels for a slightly cooler look.
Mango Contrast Collar Barn Coat with Printed Miniskirt
Askew’s senior fashion editor Naomi Alizy is known for her signature playful, printed style — and her recent look outside of Fashion Week proves us right! Shop her Mango Barn jacket below. Additionally, there’s a similar mini skirt, a pair of pointed-toe motorcycle boots, and a plain white t-shirt.
An oversized suede blazer from Staud and another crisp white button-up from Tomorrowland
All of the suede pieces will be available for fall, including boxy menswear-inspired blazers. Askew Shopping Senior Marketing Editor Madeline Fass showed off Staud’s great style yesterday via another crisp white button-up, which included a pair of glass cufflinks and a pair of timeless black trousers. With Totem’s high-heeled flip-flops, you can elevate your essential pieces!
Blue and white striped button-down transparent skirt
Sheer skirts were a big trend last spring and summer, so it’s natural that we’ll be seeing a lot more of them on the streets at New York Fashion Week this year. Play with proportions and layering in an oversized blue and white striped button-down top, just like this runway regular. Accessories like a rich chocolate brown handbag and a pair of white kitten heels take the look to another level.
Khaite classic khaki trench coat with jeweled belt
Fashion girl Lara Oliveri has single-handedly proved the “no white after Labor Day” rule wrong with this latest look. The real star of the show was Khaite’s studded leather beanie belt, which broke up the monochromatic style of the classic khaki trench coat. A pair of simple mesh flats wouldn’t hurt either.
Bottega Veneta Checked Turtleneck Top and Strappy Sandals
The Fall/Winter 2024 collection has just started arriving in stores – and this showgoer wearing a dark grey Bottega Veneta shirt has us opening a new tab immediately! Keep it tonal and style with long Bermuda shorts and simple high-heeled strappy sandals. A thick woven belt adds texture.
Reformation’s statement striped sweater paired with a suede tote
That’s why striped sweaters are a fashion favorite, and they suit every style aesthetic from minimalist to flirty. Wear a Reformation sweater with a white poplin midi skirt and tassel-embellished penny loafers. For the most luxurious handbag, a roomy suede tote is as functional as it is pretty.
Stylish Black Jeans with Western Flannel Shirt
Just in time for apple picking season, plaid shirts are gaining recognition in the high-fashion world. Style-wise, like this New Yorker, pair your flannel with sleek black jeans, pointed-toe mules, and a day-to-night clutch for the ultimate summer and fall vibe.
Proenza Schouler’s minimal maxi dress and The Row’s 90s bag
Minimalist maxi skirts have always been a favorite of cool girls. Take internet celebrity Courtney Grow for example. Her signature minimalist but never boring style was on full display in the label’s semi-sheer knit maxi dress outside the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2025 show. Like Grow, amp up your look with mesh flats from The Row and a tubular shoulder bag from The Row.
Leopard print top and raw denim skirt by Alaïa
It’s official: The only print worth wearing this fall is leopard. That’s thanks to Alaïa’s Fall 2024 runway collection, which featured cat prints on everything from mini dresses to go-out tops. Supermodel Paloma Elsesser certainly thinks so. She wore the label’s turtleneck jumpsuit and paired it with a dark-wash denim midi skirt outside the label’s Spring/Summer 2025 show at the famed Guggenheim Museum. Seen from underneath, the sheer black bra adds a touch of sexiness.
