Hey! It’s Tanya, your stylist from ModeT. Fall is back, and I can’t wait to show you what I’m loving this season. Every new collection brings a whirlwind of must-haves, but let’s be honest, most of us just want styles that make sense for our everyday lives. We’re talking about pieces that feel great for running errands, a night out, heading to work, or just looking put together when you’re half-asleep!
We’re seeing sparkles, fringe, and animal prints all over those runways this fall (and I do love a little drama!). But when I style my clients or get dressed myself, I lean into pieces that feel good and fit seamlessly into daily routines, while still adding that special touch.
Here’s the scoop on what’s trending this season, along with real-life ways I’m styling these looks:
Animal Print: Just a Touch
Let’s talk leopard! If you love it, go bold. If not, just a hint can work wonders. I love adding animal print through accessories; think a belt, booties, or a printed coat over basics. Animal print can be surprisingly classic when styled right.
Denim That Feels More Put Together
Fall denim is stepping up its game with darker washes, clean lines, and matching sets. I’m all about a chic denim-on-denim look with a black turtleneck and sleek loafers, or tailored jeans and a belted blazer. No distressing or guesswork here; just easy styles you can wear on repeat.
The T-Shirt Dress That Does It All
You can’t go wrong with a t-shirt dress! I’ve been adding these to so many clients’ closets. Layer it up, belt it, add boots, or throw on a coat; it always looks effortlessly intentional, which is exactly what we want.
Coats That Transform an Outfit
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to invest in a statement coat, now’s your time! Oversized, textured, colorful options are everywhere this season. I love styling bold coats over simple outfits to let them do all the heavy lifting. It’s that one piece that transforms everything else into something special.
Cozy Textures for Fall
This fall is all about cozy textures: faux fur, teddy, and shearling. They elevate any outfit, even if there’s just a basic tee and jeans underneath. Want to refresh your wardrobe without going all out? Start with these textures.
Tailoring That’s Still You
Structured jackets and belted coats are back, but don’t worry, they don’t feel stiff. I love using belts to add shape to oversized knits or layering a gently structured blazer over jeans to create a polished but relaxed vibe.
Polished Neutrals & The Return of Brown
Sometimes, simplicity is powerful. Neutrals like camel, charcoal, ivory, and deep chocolate are everywhere this fall. When these colors are paired with great cuts and textures, they become anything but boring. I like to use them as a base and then add pops of color or prints based on my vibe.
Playful Prints & Romantic Shapes
Trendy prints like polka dots and softer silhouettes are making waves. For those who enjoy a touch of whimsy in their wardrobe, I love incorporating a romantic blouse, a flowy skirt, or a fun, printed piece. Just remember, you don’t need a full-on look; sometimes, just a touch goes a long way.
Sparkle, If You’re Feeling It
Yes, sparkle is in! But here’s the thing, it's not about going sequined from head to toe. Think metallic bags, a sparkly top for a night out, or shiny shoes as an accent. I’m a big fan of using sparkle as an enhancement, not the main feature.
The Bottom Line
Fall 2025 is full of fun trends, but the best ones are those that fit your real life. You don’t have to do a complete wardrobe overhaul. Sometimes, it’s just about making a few updates or shifting how you style what you already own. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach, and fashion should feel like you, never like a chore!
Real Talk from Tanya
Not every trend needs to hit your closet (unless you want it to!). Pick one—or a few—that feel like you. Try a bold coat, a little sparkle, or a denim refresh. The right piece can shift your whole vibe. Style should feel fun and 100% you!
