Keep scrolling to dig into Kendall Becker’s fall 2025 trend predictions.
1. Sports-Inspired
"For the transitional months, sports-inspired attire is inevitably breathable while providing a relaxed ethos of 'cool' before it’s time to dive into heavy layers. Consider track shorts styles with a chunky sweater, side-striped pants with a pair of heels to elevate a look, or a rugby crewneck draped over your shoulders."— Kendall Becker
2. Bewitched Aesthetic
"After our obsessed with bohemia in the warmer months, the airy aesthetic is getting a cold weather treatment with a darker color palette and inviting the comeback of rich fabrics like velvet and silk while sticking with the same billowing sleeves, swaying skirts, and moments of suede that we’ve grown to love."—Kendall Becker
3. Hardware Accents
" Whether it be on accessories or used as an eye-catching detail on straps, molten, organic-looking gold hardware is a subtle yet artful way to upgrade any basic."—Kendall Becker
4. Jewel Tones
"This season’s color palette feels regal with jewel tones leading the way—think sapphire, rich teal, deep red wine, amethyst, and golden rod yellow."—Kendall Becker
5. Lace Comeback
"Lace isn’t so sweet this season; lingerie-inspiration is always at play, whether it be through perfectly-placed trim or a peek-a-boo pop of skin, and there’s also an artful approach where motifs are moving beyond a tried-and-true floral."—Kendall Becker
6. Cinched Suiting
"While I don’t think that relaxed trousers are going anywhere, there’s been a shift towards cinched waistlines/more fitted silhouettes when it comes to suiting within blazers, tops, and vests. "—Kendall Becker
7. Other Animals
"Last fall was undoubtedly the season for leopard print and that’ll certainly carry over into this year, too, but if you want to be ahead of the curve, opt for tiger or zebra instead. "—Kendall Becker
