Fall is so close we can almost smell the aroma of pumpkin spice in the air. As we creep closer to the colder months of the year, there’s no better time to scratch that shopping itch with a seasonal shopping spree. There are plenty of cute pieces that have been popping up on runways and sidewalks over the past year. So, we’ve rounded up the 10 fall street style staples that you may want to include in your next retail therapy session.
Striped Rugby Shirt
If you thought the humble rugby shirt was just for sports days in the arena, you’d be very wrong. The trendy street-style crowd have embraced the striped rugby top as their next fall obsession. Plus, it’s far more versatile than you might think. Pair it with your fave denims for an effortless look, or style it with a skirt for a fun and flirty ‘fit.
Cowprint Pieces
While last fall was all about the wild leopard print, this year the fashion world has added a more domesticated touch to street style with the help of the humble cow print. The splotchy, two-toned pattern has been applied to footwear, outerwear, and everything in between. We’re quite partial to a cowprint skirt and a creamy, off-white jumper combo ourselves.
Plaid Pieces
By now, we all expect plaid to be a part of the fall fashion lineup. After all, it has been a staple of fall for years. But this year the print is a little bit different. You’ll find influencers rocking plaid in bolder colours that feel very ’90s-coded and pairing everyday pieces with unexpected accessories like grunge boots or matching sneakers. Cher Horowitz and her crew would approve.
Polka Dot Pieces
We probably don’t need to convince anyone to jump on the polka dot bandwagon, but in case you need a little push, this classic print is having a major moment in fall 2025. Spotted ensembles have dotted the runways of top designers, including Fendi and Balmain. You can probably wear the trend in a thousand different ways this season, but we’ll always love a black polka dot dress.
Lace Slip
Sheer fabrics have been everywhere this year. Still, the fairest of them all is without a doubt lace. To work the trend into your fall outfits, try layering a lace slip beneath (or over) your usual fall essentials. Lace will add a feminine and romantic touch to just about any look, even a sweatpants and hoodie combo.
Cropped Trench Coat
While the longer-length trench coat will always be a classic, stylish ladies everywhere have been reaching for its cropped cousin in 2025. This updated version is just as easy to style and can be thrown on with everything you’d usually pair the traditional trench with.
Fringed Outerwear
With boho style having its big fashion moment this year, it’s no surprise that fringe outerwear is a must-have staple for fall 2025. We love the movement and texture that all the fringed ponchos and jackets can add to an outfit. It’ll be hard not to keep reaching for this fun piece throughout the season.
Brown Suede Outerwear
Brown has been the IT colour of 2025. A timeless way to incorporate the hue into your fall look is with none other than the humble suede jacket or blazer. Keep things interesting by experimenting with the tone or texture of the suede, but whatever you do, don’t skimp on the quality.
Riding Boots
Tall leather riding boots have always been a must-have for fall and winter, and that isn’t about to change this year. You can just as easily rock the style with a flowy boho dress as with more structured, preppy pieces, like a skirt and sweater combo. That’s one of the many reasons we love a riding boot.
Slouchy Boots
Another noughties trend you can look forward to this fall is the slouchy boot. Of course, with boho fashion back in the spotlight, it only makes sense that this effortlessly cool footwear would be one of the season’s must-have items. You can pair them with flowy dresses or oversized sweaters to keep with the boho theme, or switch up the look by styling them with structured blazers and tailored trousers.
