I’m a Shopping Editor—These 8 Elegant Fall and Winter Trends Deserve A Spot In Your Winter Outfit Rotation
Save for style inspiration.
I'm having an elegant fall and winter. That means clean lines, sophisticated silhouettes, and participating in only the chicest fall and winter 2025 trends the fashion set has to offer. While I'm all for a cute sweater-and-jean fit, I'm looking to up my game this season. Be prepared for effortless fall and winter outfits, combined with elegant trends like the column skirt (which made an appearance in our Who What Wear The Great Try On), funnel-neck jackets (a standout fall 2025 jacket trend), nearly sold-out animal-print flats, and more.
Ahead, you'll find everything from IFYKYK 2025 color trends like Capri blue and fashion insider styling hacks (hint: it's tied around the waist) to preppy polos and non-traditional leggings styles. Keep scrolling to shop the elegant fall and winter 2025 trends I'll be wearing for the rest of the year.
