7 Fall Fashion Trends NYC Cool-Girls Are Wearing in 2025

Trends come and go, but isn’t that the fun of it all? While I wouldn’t recommend splurging on pieces you’ll only wear once, there are a few trends worth sneaking into your wardrobe, especially as the seasons begin to shift. Think of it as back-to-school shopping, without the pressure of actually having to sit in a classroom.

As fashion month comes to an end, the runways have been full of inspiration. But the real fashion show is on the streets of New York, where people somehow make a grocery run feel like front row. Here are seven fall-to-winter trends I’ve been seeing everywhere—most of which you can already find on Amazon, so you can be the one dropping the link instead of begging for it.

Fall-to-Winter Trends to Buy Now

Free People Tigre Polka Dot Long-Sleeve Satin Mini Dress

Spotted all over the runway this season, it’s clear polka dots aren’t going anywhere. They’re whimsical without overpowering your outfit, and this dress proves it. Pair it with stockings, boots, and a trench coat once the weather cools, then rewear it solo in the warmer months.

Tankaneo Cropped Trench Coat

One of the easiest ways to switch things up this fall and winter is with a cropped trench. It’s practical enough to justify the purchase, but the cut adds just the right amount of “is that new?” Recently spotted on Kendall Jenner, it’s the kind of piece that instantly elevates airport sweats and just as easily dresses up with a skirt and boots.

Megfie Barn Jacket

If you didn’t have the foresight to hang on to your old barn jacket from years past, consider holding on to this one for the future. It’s made from 100 percent cotton, after all. Available in eight shades and sizes XS to XL, there’s something here for everyone, whether you’re a cool winter or a warm autumn.

Charfille Leopard Print Color Block Pants

Animal print doesn’t have to stick to just one animal. On the runway, we’ve been seeing it all — zebra, leopard, cheetah, even snake. There’s really no wrong way to wear it, and it’s one of the easiest ways to make an otherwise simple outfit feel fun. I’m partial to these leopard-print pants, which are extra comfortable with a drawstring waist and work just as well for the airport as they do for dinner with heels.

Xunger Faux Suede Bomber

Suede isn’t so much a trend as it is a fall-to-winter staple, much like leather. That said, it’s having a clear resurgence this season. You can go for a suede bag or boots, but one of the easiest ways to work it into your wardrobe is with a lightweight jacket. This one comes in at under $50 and is available in 11 shades, from classic neutrals to an unexpected pink.

Soly Hux Racing Jacket

Whether you’re a fake sports fan (me) or someone who religiously follows teams and keeps up with fantasy drafts, the crossover between sports and fashion isn’t going anywhere. If you’re not ready to commit to official merch just yet, this racing jacket is under $50, comes in multiple colorways, and is available in sizes XXS through XXL.

Dora & Liz Fringe Hobo Bag

I’ve been patiently waiting for fringe to make its comeback, since its country-inspired roots speak to my Texas sensibilities. The easiest way to add it into your wardrobe is with a fringe bag like this one, which pairs with just about everything and comes in black, beige, brown, caramel, and blue.
