The autumn wind is a bit chilly, and the heat in summer is fading away. Now, it’s time to get your closet ready for autumn and winter. Because, the attire you are supposed to wear is that which is thick-textured, dark-colored and layered. During seasonal fashion shows, designers have continuously polished the silhouette, detail, fabric, and proportion to wake up the vibe of “fall and winter wardrobe” to blend into the fall and winter atmosphere and integrate into daily accompany. Today, we, Aung Crown, a reliable custom hats and apparel manufacturer since 1998, will introduce the top 12 fall/winter 2025 trends.

1. Draped Coats

Scandinavian-inspired, meticulous details infuse into leisure coats, and blending simple silhouettes with flexible lines is not only simple dropping, but also keeps the sense of breathability. The main structures are the line, crease, and the wrapping design of the neckline to enhance the dynamic effects. The pros of draped coats are that they’re very easy to pair with without complex thoughts. A dark gray wool high-necked draped coat + wide-legged pants, you can elegantly get out of your house immediately.

2. Knee-Grazing/Midi-Long Skirts

Knee-grazing skirts, namely, mean midi-long skirts that keep the length of lines, and they are convenient to pair with different boots. Commonly, most midi-length skirts in fall and winter seasons are with soft creases or A-shaped hems, which can pair with sweaters and long boots in the day to show gentle and confident temperaments. At nighttime, these midi-long skirts can match with suit jackets or silk shirts to add a sense of slickness. The length of midi-long skirts can balance the practice and styling to present gentle femininity and flow in cold seasons.

3. Belts

When layering styling becomes a routine for outfits, the function of belts is not only limited to being stable accessories, but also to enhancing body proportion, which is the highlight of the whole look. Balmain Anthem leather belt, featuring an exaggerated metal waist belt that is engraved along the waistline of suits and coats. Christopher Esber Fender Leather belt breaks the traditional belt structure through random designs. In daily styling, a wide leather belt wrapped around a thick knitwear can make the whole loose silhouette become shaped and highlighted, which identifies the clear proportion and eye-catching spot of the whole styling.

4. Flirting with Fur

Fur is always a classic element in the fashion industry. In the 2025 autumn and winter, fur is redefined as edging like cuffs, necklines, hems, or bags, not covering the whole body or outfit anymore. There is one thing worth mentioning is that this seasonal fur as edging usually combines with heterogeneous materials (also called mixed materials), such as the patchwork between leather and fur, and fur edging on printing fabrics. Such mixed combinations reduce the heavy texture of fur and add a sense of youth and naivety. For example, a dark-blue leather jacket with ivory fur on the neckline can find the balance between ruggedness and softness.

5. Fringe Is Back

The fringe design from the shoulders to the hems can bring a unique movement while walking. Fringe can be the full decoration for long gowns or the dotted ornaments on knitted shawls. The fine and dense silk threads shine under lights, which seems to infuse a dynamic vibe to the whole look. No matter for gorgeous formal occasions or vibes in routine outfits, fringes can add a sense of movement to static apparel.

6. Tartans And Checks

Indeed, checkered patterns never missed their seats in autumn and winter seasons. Moreover, the color combination of checkered patterns is fresh this year. Burberry classic camel patchwork checks are still stable. However, we can still see that new color combinations of checkered patterns like light blue, dark green, or caramel in different sizes. Check suits can deliver a sense of slickness, and check tweed coats are looser. The styling of checkered knee skirts + knee boots is with a sense of campus vibe. The pros of checkered patterns are elegant, retro, aging, and naughty.

7. Wide Shoulder Spotlight

The comeback of the wide shoulder design makes people remind the power dressing in the 1980s to 1990s – tall and straight shoulder lines and slick tailoring, which can bring an undeniable presence. This season, wide-shoulder coats are no longer pursuing sizes, but rather focusing on the details that proportion the whole design – tall, straight shoulders, tapered waistlines, which are powerful without losing femininity in their silhouettes. By pairing with simple bottom outfits, it can make the should become the visual center of the whole look.

8. Ruffles

In this season, Chloé adopts ruffles to express a mature romance, which makes ruffles are not a sweet symbol anymore, but add a sense of architecture through layering and blending. Lightweight ruffles dotting on cuffs, hems, or necklines, encounter with hard wool or straight and tall cotton cloth, which can generate unexpected strain. The cross weave of softness and hardness, can let ruffles get rid off girlish label, which become decorative derails for all ages.

9. Pleated Necklines

From the court of the Elizabethan Age to today’s fashion shows, pleated necklines have been charming and romantic all the time. The 2025 fall and winter pleated necklines are layering, made from light chiffon, or tall and straight made from cotton cloth. Ruffles are the best element to mixed-matching with modern elements, such as ruffle-neckline shirts + loose jeans, or ruffle-neckline dresses + leather jackets, which is bopping from retro style to modern style. It;s the most interesting strain.

10. Dark Aesthetic

The expression of the dark aesthetic is not completely monotonous black anymore, and it utilizes different materials to compare and create layering. Lightweight yarns, heavy goose velvet, hard leather, and fine lace can echo each other. Therefore, it can present as closet-fitting dresses or loose cloak coats, which are slick, keeping a sense of mystery and sexiness. The key is to use fabrics to break the dullness of black, which lets black have a breathable sense between light and shadows.

11. Frazzled Elegance

The frazzled elegance seems like a real, true depiction of urban life. The combination of large draped scarves + slightly opened coats, the inner layering seems casual, but the detail is in the color combination. The essence of frazzled elegance is the imperfect of perfection. The wrapping of scarves doesn’t need to be tidy, so as the hairstyle, which can give people a discerning impression. It’s a status that is busy with taste, which can draw people nearby.

12. 1980s Tailoring

Pencil skirts, carrot pants, and short-waisted jackets, all these are the fashion symbols in the 1980s, and now they are comeback. The tailoring in the 1980s emphasized waisted lines, made from stiff fabrics to create the silhouette, bringing a slick and powerful sense. Differing from the past, the 1980s tailoring now uses more gentle colors and softer fabrics to weaken the sharpened sense, making them blend in daily life easily.

In the end, autumn and winter apparel is a dual dialogue between weather and moods. No matter what you choose, it doesn’t need to cater to all the trends. They only need them blend into your life and become a warm accompanier with your attitudes.
