Time to bundle up: outerwear trends for fall 2025

Outerwear becomes the centerpiece of fall style, with jackets, cardigans, and sweaters setting the tone for the entire wardrobe. However, outerwear must be not only chic, but also practical. Let’s break down the key pieces that will be trending this season.

Track jackets are the most in-demand item of the season. Their minimalist design and neutral colors make them ideal for layered outfits. Uniqlo’s track jackets stand out in particular – simple, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish, which is why they’ve gone viral. They can be paired with anything: jeans and a white T-shirt, a midi skirt and sneakers, or even a slip dress. Alternatives can be found at Zara, H&M, and Massimo Dutti, while sportier options are available at Nike and Adidas.

Blazers and jackets are a timeless fall wardrobe staple. This season, sharp silhouettes with defined waists and clean lines are trending. They can be styled in two ways: create a laid-back look with white T-shirts and jeans, or go for a polished version with a shirt and tailored trousers. The classic palette features beige, pastel tones, deep navy, and black.

Hoodies and sweaters are perfect for “lazy” days – great for evening strolls when comfort is key. Wear them over a basic top, or tie them over your shoulders or around your waist for a versatile early-fall solution. Pastel shades, textured knits, and small details like embroidery are trending this season. They pair beautifully with jeans, skirts, and chunky boots.

For lovers of classic and more formal styles, tweed blazers are making a strong comeback. They add elegance to any look and are versatile for multiple occasions: from smart-casual to stricter business dress codes. Tweed in shades of grey, beige, and brown pairs well with trousers, tailored skirts, or simple tops, creating stylish layered outfits.

Another must-have of the season is the cropped trench coat. Minimalist in design, usually in neutral shades, but accented with small details such as unique belts or closures. The beauty of the trench is that it fits seamlessly into any outfit.

Cardigans remain a classic layering piece. Oversized knits or designs with unique details make it easy to create both casual and more elevated looks. They can be worn over dresses, skirts, or jeans with a simple top.

Fall is the season of experiments. Don’t be afraid to play with bold combinations, say “yes” to striking accents, and create looks that feel both comfortable and warm.
