The 10 Biggest Trends From Fashion Week FW25

The Fall/Winter 2025 season of fashion month is officially over, with showcases from Paris and Milan men's, Copenhagen, Berlin, London and Milan's womenswear seasons already long gone. Now the womenswear portion of Paris is also done and dusted, we're taking a look at some of the biggest fashion trends seen on the runway so far.

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 10 biggest trends we've spotted this season so far, from fur scarves and stoles to tonal tights.

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.

Haute Home Decor

For FW25 collections, it seems home is where the inspiration is -- with everyday homeware and fabrics transitioning into couture garments. For Versace, the furnishings of the label's Versace Home were woven into its wardrobe with duvet blankets finding new shapes as gowns and voluminous puffers. At Zomer, graphic prints were reminiscent of tablecloths and lampshades were worn as hats. At Moschino, models wore large, floral couch cushions as headwear.

Elsewhere, at Berlin Fashion Week, emerging designer LOU DE BÈTOLY repurposed old curtains and bed sheets to explore the creative possibilities of circular fashion. This trend in a luxury context underpins a growing rise of DIY fashion and acts as an inspiration to get creative with what you already have in your closet to create new looks.

Pastel Pink and Grey

If it wasn't already clear from Spring/Summer 2025 collections, FW25 is establishing that Barbie pink is done and dusted. Its replacement? A softer, more considered shade ranging from pastel pink to rose quartz. Across fashion week cities, we noticed the feminine hue frequently paired with variations of grey. SRVC, Thom Browne, TOGA, Moschino and Acne Studios, to name a few, all presented looks with what's proving to be the color combo of the season.

Hip Detailing

This season, hips did more than just tell the truth... Several designers opted to accentuate and highlight the hip area through structured dresses and emphasized detailing. Spotted on runways from Duran Lantink, Valentino, Kiko Kostadinov and Alaia -- to name a few -- the unique emphasis on this particular body part demonstrated a focus on the female form. That said, the accentuated hip was often showcased on slender models, suggesting it's not quite as inclusive as it might seem.

Contrasting Colorways and Pastels

Contrast and juxtaposition have always been in fashion, but this season in particular seemed to focus on contrasting colorways and pastel hues. Aside from the baby pink and grey combination we explored above, designers like Kiko Kostadinov and Paloma Wool paired subtle pastels with contrasting colorways, while Valentino offered a slew of pastel-toned looks. Shades of baby blue, lilac and peach made more than a few appearances this season, suggesting that pairing these tones with contrasting colorways is the way to go for FW25.

Fur Scarves and Stoles

Fur for the FW25 season is hardly groundbreaking, we know, but this season seemed to showcase fur in a slightly different way. Primarily appearing across trims and as accessories, we saw an abundance of fur scarves and stoles on the runway this season, courtesy of Valentino, Miu Miu and Marine Serre. Potentially due to the ongoing controversies and discussions surrounding real VS faux fur, a slightly pared-back approach to the divisive material may be the way to wear it in the future.
