It's the most wonderful time of the year: Fall fashion is upon us. We've been patiently waiting for the fall collections to arrive, and now, as September approaches, they're finally starting to land at our favorite retailers. But with all the major trends still coming into focus, it can be hard to know where to start with our seasonal shopping—it's tempting to just impulsively add to cart. So to help ensure I'm shopping thoughtfully, I like to start with fall items I feel have longevity and focus on major seasonal themes that tend to carry over.
I like to think of my purchases like investments, only adding pieces I know will bring me returns. Items like suede bags and leather outerwear are key buys for 2025, but they're also items you'll return to season after season, making them smart purchases in my book. To kick off my fall shopping, I scrolled through all the new arrivals at Revolve and saved the 33 fall items I think have staying power, which I'm here to share with you today. From plaid shirts to timeless trench coats, below I'm highlighting the best fall fashion trends on Revolve.
