Fashion Month Recap Womenswear FW25

The Fall/Winter 2025 season was blend of the essences that have been growing within Womenswear over the course of the past year. It brought bohemia into a new light (or darkness, rather), found its swing with tying emotion with practicality, and channeled the uncertain energy that’s in the air across the globe. Overall, trends were focused on styling cues rather than show-stopping it-items; think contrast colors, juxtaposed styling, mixing fabrications. The more unexpected the better, and can be varied per the wearer’s personal style.

Centennial Times

In a darker nod to current times, we’ve seen Depression era influences play a major role on the runways around the world. There were shift dresses and beading details that felt undeniably flapper (a party before the storm per se) which then led us to a palette of muddy browns and grays contrasted to baby pink and teal in tough fabrics like tweed and wool. Romance is only found within embellishments, brooches, colorful stockings, and cheeky hats to provide a feminine, lighthearted touch to the grimness of the colors and fabrics.

Stylized

Nearly two years ago, the “wearable wardrobe” was the hottest conversation from the runways––now, we need a dose of excitement. This doesn’t mean silhouettes have to be over-the-top or seemingly unbearable, it’s about bringing life to staple items through creative details and styling cues. For example, we’ve seen lessons in layering, fabric and color mixing, as well as a juxtaposed approach to styling. This allows the consumer to re-shop her wardrobe while still finding excitement through unexpected details when shopping the racks, too.

 Statement Made

Despite other aesthetics of the season having a darker undertone, there are still moments for play––in fashion and within the world. We saw whimsical touches make a statement to otherwise basic outfits––think belt layering at Schiaparelli, oversized scarves at Givenchy and Prada, extravagant strands of pearls at Chanel, and fur accessories at the likes of Gucci and Michael Kors. This sentiment lies under the same grain of thinking where food accessories and bag charms originated; consider this the evolution.

Bad Witch

What happens when both grunge and bohemian aesthetics rise? A witchy evolution. As we know, the bohemian ethos ruled 2024 when it came to fashion (plus, more to come this Spring/Summer) and, outside of fashion, there’s been a growing interest in holistic health and esoterics. Plus, recent seasons have seen growth in tougher aesthetics like grunge and utility, so it only makes sense for these to merge and give us a mystic and dark witchy influence for the colder months to come this year. We can expect this to grow and carry on into 2026, too.
