Popped Collars
The country club’s favorite trend is poised for a comeback: Popped collars were all over the New York runways, with a winter-friendly twist. Brands like Khaite, Luar and Altuzurra presented neck-shielding collars on outerwear to help face the chilliest days in style.
Playing With Fur
Fur — both real and faux — is a classic for fall, and for Fall 2025, designers gave it the spotlight: Some went for statement coats (Luar, Ulla Johnson, Aknvas), others tapped it for eye-catching trims (Kobi Halperin, Sergio Hudson) and a few transformed it into fun accessories (Kim Shui, Michael Kors).
Not Your Grandma’s Brooch
Brooches made for a lot of fun styling this fashion week, whether for a practical outwear closure (Tory Burch, Melke, Carolina Herrera) or simply a fun adornment to add to an outfit (Alice & Olivia, Kobi Halperin).
Day-to-Night Pinstripes
Designers used pinstripes on a wide variety of silhouettes, fabric-blocking and embellishments: 5000, Jane Wade and Sergio Hudson offered up the classic print on tailored suiting, while Simkhai and Carolina Herrera adorned it with intricate embroideries.
Every Kind of Hood
From balaclavas to sweatshirt hoods to fur hats, this fall, brands are providing endless ways to keep our heads and ears fashionably warm.
Power Shoulders
The Fall 2025 shows embraced modernized takes on the ’80s power shoulder, with intentional padding, as seen at Thom Browne, Christian Siriano, Vettese, Christopher John Rogers and many more.
Cherry Red
This vibrant maraschino hue in striking, head-to-toe monochromatic looks was seen from top designers Altuzarra, Calvin Klein, Ashlyn, Christopher John Rogers, Fforme, Sergio Hudson, Tyler McGillivary and Christian Siriano. Other designers, like Khaite and Eckhaus Latta relied on cherry red as a bold punctuation to a look, using it to dress up leather pants and a slouchy, oversized leather hoodie, respectively.
