With summer coming to an end, it's time to think about the fashion trends that will prevail this fall-winter 2024-2025. These trends are moving away from the influences of the 2000s and moving towards more elegant and refined silhouettes. By following the movement of "quiet luxury", old money, and "very demure", this season's collections reveal a wardrobe where timelessness occupies a special place. Thus, we observe the resurgence of pussy-bow collars, strappy ballerinas, cozy cardigans, and assertive shoulders, often inspired by the aesthetic of the fifties. Nevertheless, bold pieces, such as suede jackets and boho-chic elements, bring a touch of fantasy to this winter wardrobe.

Among this season's must-haves, the cardigan stands out by continuing to seduce with varied versions, such as cable-knit models or cropped cuts. This versatile piece lends itself to all looks, perfect for a preppy look. In addition, the suede jacket is regaining its nobility, adopting various cuts and colors, ranging from trench coats to bomber jackets, making it a must-have for all fashion lovers. In addition, the rather unexpected combination of the skirt with matching pants is asserting itself as a key trend this season, reinventing a casual elegance, while paying homage to the Y2K roots.

Accessories are not left out. Strappy ballerinas, which are reinvented year after year, are back with a wise look that goes with more avant-garde pieces like baggy jeans, providing a perfect balance between comfort and style. The XXL bag is becoming the central element of winter outfits, combining practicality and aesthetics with a maxi leather tote bag. As for patterns, the leopard print, which continues to make waves, is found on clothing and accessories, proving that this animal print remains timeless. Thus, fall-winter 2024-2025 is shaping up to be a season marked by bold choices and sophisticated influences, a true ode to timeless chic.

The key pieces of fall-winter 2024-2025

The cardigan
The cardigan trend, which has been going strong since last season, is still going strong. With cable knits, cropped, balloon sleeves or jewel buttons, it will dress all silhouettes and all styles starting this winter for a preppy look.

The suede jacket
With the western look and indie sleaze aesthetic making a strong comeback in the season's trends, the suede jacket is at the top of the coolest overcoats for fall-winter. Short or long, trench or bomber style, khaki or camel, studded or patchwork, it comes in an infinite variety to suit all styles.

The skirt over pants
While the Y2K trend is becoming increasingly timid, it is still going strong this fall-winter. In particular, this ultimate combo from the 2000s is making its mark this winter. The skirt + matching pants combination is therefore cool again, seen at Balmain, Altuzarra, Bottega Veneta and Courrèges. The twist? The skirt is this time in maxi length and takes on the appearance of a suit, drawing the contours of a new elegance.
 

The total denim look
We wear it all year round, but there is no question of shunning it once winter comes. To assume the total denim look, the wisest will opt for similar shades, while the most daring will dare to mix colors. We assume it in overalls or in a jeans/denim shirt combo. 

The lavallière
Old money obliges, the lavallière invests romantic blouses and voluminous dresses for a dramatic look. To adopt it, we take inspiration from the Celine, Saint Laurent or Valentino fashion shows.

The assertive shoulders
To express your style, we bet on eighties shoulders that promise a conqueror look. To wear on a blazer pushed to the oversized like at Etro, a leather trench as seen at Burberry or on a faux fur coat and leather pants like Khaite.

The baggy jeans
For a few seasons, jeans have been experimenting. They were first revealed with slits like split jeans then embellished with pockets, like cargo. At the start of the school year, they keep their volume and impose themselves in a baggy style straight from the 1990s-2000s. We love it for its comfort and nonchalant look that we can balance out with more feminine pieces like a pussy-bow blouse and ballet flats.

The straight leather jacket
The leather jacket is a timeless classic that we wear season after season to add a rock touch to our everyday looks. But this season, it's its minimalist version that seems to be taking over. Straight and with clean lines like at Hermès, Gucci, Max Mara or Courrèges, it gains in elegance without losing its casual attitude.

The bohemian look
The bohemian aesthetic of the seventies is regaining its letters of nobility this fall-winter. Floaty dresses, ruffled shirts offset by additions of leather or suede, colorful prints with a psychedelic influence, or even fringes everywhere... Boho-chic, relaunched in particular by Chemena Kamali at Chloé, is definitely set to make its mark in our wardrobes this fall.

The bubble skirt
A key summer skirt, the bubble skirt is staying the course for fall-winter 2024-2025. Pumped up to the max, it brings a touch of romance to a look and shapes a silhouette. Micro or midi length, alone or grafted onto a dress, this skirt will give us a sharp look worn with an oversized t-shirt and a blazer or a chunky sweater and a pair of trendy boots.
 

Accessories for fall-winter 2024-2025 

Strappy ballerinas 
Back in fashion for a few seasons now, ballerinas are continuing their fashion breakthrough this fall. Inspired by classical dancers, they give a demure look that can be mixed with more street-style pieces, like baggy jeans. The right model? One with straps or a pointed toe, for a silhouette that's in tune with the times. 

The XXL bag 
This fall, the XXL bag is gaining fashion prominence to become thecenterpiece of a look. We opt for a maxi leather tote bag, elegant and practical for carrying our daily essentials. 

The mid-high sock 
Now an essential accessory for a sharp look, the mid-high sock will still be the star of fall-winter. We wear it to twist elegant shoes like kitten heels (yes, yes) or, more simply, loafers. Ideal for dressing the leg and boosting an outfit with a pencil skirt, Bermuda shorts or a trapeze dress.

The key prints for fall-winter 2024-2025 

Leopard 
The key print of 2024, leopard will continue to make our fall-winter looks roar. From Dior to Balenciaga, including Alaïa, Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant and Versace, animal print will be in all our clothes and accessories for another season. 

Tartan 
This checked print is establishing itself as one of the essential patterns for fall-winter 2024-2025. Spotted on the Burberry, Anna Sui, Rabanne and Helmut Lang catwalks, it can be worn on a blazer jacket to liven up a silhouette that is a little too sober, on trousers or a skirt with a chunky knit, or in touches thanks to well-designed accessories such as a bag or socks with the image of the tartan pattern. 

Polka dots 
As a fifties trend, polka dots are making their mark in women's wardrobes. On a dress like at Rabanne or Nina Ricci, on a silky blouse like at Patou or as a detail on a jacket collar like at Altuzarra, the polka dot has not said its last word.
 

The colors of fall-winter 2024-2025 

Red 
Make way for the fiery red that will warm up our winter wardrobe. In a total look to play the femme fatale like at Givenchy, on a flowing dress like Bottega Veneta and Ferragamo or even on a suit set like at Jil Sander or Hermès. We also opt for touches, on a jacket like seen at Emporio Armani or on a shirt like Carven, but also on details to apply the "unexpected red theory" trend like at GCDS. 

Pastel tones 
We might think that pastel tones are reserved for sunny days, but sorbet shades are essential to face the grayness. In a total look or in touches, we dare mint green, baby blue and candy pink or straw yellow like at Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Gucci or Loewe. 

Green 
Star of the fall-winter 2024-2025 catwalks, green will be in every wardrobe. The fashion data platform Tagwalk counts more than 330 occurrences of khaki over the season, but all its variations will be there, like khaki, olive green or fir green, as seen at Moschino, Fendi, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Burberry or even Uma Wang.

Chocolate 
Those who shun bright colors will turn to brown, and more precisely chocolate, another key shade of the season. It can be worn with a trouser suit as well as a silk skirt, a long dress, a leather coat or raw jeans, as shown on the catwalks of Acne Studios, Celine, Ermanno Scervino, Lacoste or Ralph Lauren.
