While there was no singular trend that defined summer 2025, we indeed participated in several cute, yet fleeting, micro-trends. Sardine-themed accessories come to mind, as do scarves worn as belts. I asked our editors which summer trends they’re ready to bid farewell to and which ones they’re looking forward to styling this fall. Taking into consideration their summer don’ts and won’ts, I put together the five summer trends I’ve already moved on from, and the five fall moments I’m eager to style, once this temperamental NYC weather allows.

Let’s take a peek at some It-girl-approved fall trends I’ll be partaking in, such as funnel-neck jackets, suede ballet flats, satin trousers, slouchy hobo bags, and literally anything in every animal print out there. While we work hard to predict the most significant trends of the season, I’m eager to see what the next unexpected viral moment will be. But until then, here are the five fall trends I’ll be shopping this season.

Out: Moto Jackets

In: Funnel-Neck Jackets

While moto jackets aren’t technically out, we’re likely to see fewer of them with this sporty, funnel-neck style around. The hottest high-neck jackets of the season have already sold out (ahem, the Massimo Dutti Bomber Puff Jacket), so consider joining the waiting list or exploring these sporty styles below.

Out: Fisherman Sandals

In: Suede Flats

It’s obvious ballet flats have taken over the fashion world, so what better way to prep them for fall fashion than a suede finish? These suede beauties are fall’s best friends.

Out: Scandi PJ Bottoms

In: Satin Trousers

Influencer Lizzy Hadfield wears satin lace-trim pants with brown leather loafers, a black crewneck sweater, and a suede tote.

Stay true to the casual, relaxed vibe of the drawstring pants, but opt for a more elegant, sophisticated aesthetic. I’m looking for satin trousers.

Out: Woven Totes

In: Slouchy Hobo Bags

Don’t get me wrong—I love a woven tote, but as we near jacket season, I need something that will stay up on my shoulder. That’s why I love the slouchy leather hobo bag. They can house all your essentials, stay upright, and look good while walking the streets of NYC. Explore the selection of leather and suede styles below.

Out: Polka Dots

In: Animal Print

From kitten heels to miniskirts to stockings to jeans, there are no limits to where animal print can go. And more importantly, every print you can think of is already cool-girl approved—cow print, zebra, leopard, jaguar, you name it, it’s trending.
