The 5 Biggest Trends From Fashion Week FW25 So Far

The Fall/Winter 2025 season of fashion month is well and truly upon us, with showcases from Paris and Milan men's, Copenhagen, Berlin and London already over and done with. As we cast our sights on the Paris and Milan womenswear seasons, we're taking a look at some of the biggest fashion trends seen on the runway so far -- with plenty more still to come.

From Jacquemus' chic approach to polka dots to a new wave of politically charged slogans, this season brought a slew of familiar trends back in new ways but also gave us some new food for thought. Ahead, we take a look at the five biggest trends we've spotted this season so far.

Polka Dots

Polka dots are the kind of print that don't really go out of style, it's true, but there has been a significant increase on the runway this season. Beginning with Jacquemus' PFW return and continuing at Marc Jacobs in NYC, it feels like a natural evolution from the wintery animal print trends, potentially transitioning towards a more subtle, chic way to wear prints.

Tonal Tights

Colorful tights came back into our lives for the Fall/Winter 2023 season and in all honesty, they've not really left since. This season, however, we noticed a slight shift in the way they've been styled. Matching tones seem to be the only way to wear colorful tights and stockings in FW25, either matching the color of the tights to your outfit or wearing the same color as your shoes. Showcased on the runway at Baum und Pferdgarten, Stine Goya and Gestuz so far, we're on the lookout for more examples to come.

Pine Green Hues

Evidenced through the latest iteration of sacai's Carhartt WIP collaboration, pine green is the latest hue to dominate the runways. Also appearing in a few of Stine Goya's FW25 looks, the rich colorway also made an appearance at Kim Shui's NYFW show. Landing through all sorts of different materials, we've seen the deep hue arrive on coated jackets, leather trenches and fur -- proving there's no wrong way to wear it.

Statements and Slogans

Statements and slogans made a pretty big return to the runway this season, starting with LUEDER's viral "Men are so back" tank from Berlin Fashion Week. In London, we saw slogans and phrases in collections from S.S. Daley, KEBURIA and ASHISH, with a mixture of tongue-in-cheek messages and politically charged statements. At S.S. Daley, it was fairly playful, with the likes of "Keep staring, I might do a trick," appearing on a graphic tee while at ASHISH, sequinned statements like "Fashion not fascism" and "Not in the mood" seemed to act as a wider sign of the times.

Animals as Inspiration

This isn't the first time that animals have found their way into our fashion choices, but something about the FW25 season felt particularly animal-inspired. Kicking off in Paris during the menswear season, we saw dinosaur-shaped bags accessorizing Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's looks, followed by thom browne's "birds of fantasy" showcase in New York. Fast-forward to London, and we saw painted prints of dogs on S.S. Daley shirts and dresses, while Simone Rocha's dreamy collection looks were punctuated by the same fluffy bunny.
