Amid a week of near-arctic temperatures in the city that never sleeps, New York Fashion Week brought vibrance and energy that kicked off Fashion Month with fervor. Strong trends have already begun to emerge that carry with them a maximalist spirit, be it in silhouette, color, or detail.
From oversized wrap coats to beautifully embellished detailing; monochromatic looks in bright cherry red and fringe details that possess alluring movement as you walk; New York Fashion Week's Fall 2025 shows were a true celebration of creativity and a return to a whimsical spirit we are all so desperately seeking.
Though American designers went full-force with the presentation of oversized shapes, light-catching crystals, '90s-era layering, and more, it was all juxtaposed with more practical roots. Be it a wool skirt suit from Michael Kors with extensive embellished detailing, fringe bags from Altuzarra that are the ultimate in throw-on-and-go, or wrap coats that offer a true effortless sophistication, the stylistic balance was palpable.
Ahead, check out eight fall 2025 trends that we can't get enough of. And, while you might have to wait until next fall to get your hands on some of these one-of-a-kind runway pieces, we've pulled together some of our favorite pieces of the moment so you can start wearing these looks right now.

Leather
Leather is the material du jour for fall, with designers from Coach to Brandon Maxwell walking a slew of buttery soft looks down the runway. There were matching suiting sets, long duster coats, low-rise midi skirts, and more. In classic tones of black, white, and tan, whether real or faux, it's a luxe material that instantly upgrades your look.

Red
Though the fall 2023 runways have been rife with all sorts of bright colors, it's red that's come to the forefront of the seasonal palette. Consider it this coming season's version of Barbiecore pink: a bright pop that's rosy and warm, but a little bit more traditional than its neon counterpart.
Theory showed full monochromatic looks in the tone, while Tory Burch opted for pops of color by way of knits and overcoats. And the vibrant trend works for evening as well: Carolina Herrera and Jason Wu both designed cocktail dresses and gowns in the vivid hue.

No Pants
No pants? No problem — at least according to New York Fashion Week. Sergio Hudson sent a tailored lady jacket down the runway with little more underneath than a pair of sheer black tights. Sandy Liang opted for the Victorian boudoir vibe, showing embroidered white sets that looked as though they were inspired by corset coverings. In between were showings of high-waisted briefs styled with everything from sheer bodysuits to '80s-era silk tops.
While you may very well incorporate this trend into your everyday wardrobe with the addition of a sheer skirt, it might be time to shed pants altogether, especially as the temperature begins to rise.

Hoodies
Brands from Proenza Schouler to Carolina Herrera tried out the hoodie look this season, with gowns and pullovers all taking part. Much like the addition of pockets in ballgowns, a hoodie makes even the prettiest of silhouettes a bit more edgy, be they crafted of brocade, cashmere, or even classic fleece.

Blazers
Fall is the best season when it comes to transitional jackets, taking your summertime dresses into the colder days of winter. While car coats and leather jackets are always in attendance, designers chose blazers as the go-to outerwear for fall. Whether paired with coordinated suiting or a flowing silk midi dress, the tailored toppers were a mainstay this season. They popped up everywhere from Tory Burch to Altuzarra, Khaite to Jason Wu.

Romantic Details
Romantic details, like ruffles and peplums, were ubiquitous this season, appearing on every look from tailored suiting to after-hours party dresses. Markarian debuted off-the-shoulder ruffle tops, flared-sleeved blazers, and strapless bow gowns. Sandy Liang went for a slightly more retro take on the trend, sending drop-waist minidresses, puff-sleeved midis, and oversized bow details down the runway. And Brandon Maxwell took classic tailored suiting and added soft touches like peplum tops, bell-sleeved minidresses, and embellished overcoats. The message was clear: embrace the soft life this season.
