Racing Jackets
Edgy and colorful moto racing jackets with eye-catching graphics are catching on in a big way this year. While many have been drawn to the look thanks to the rapidly rising popularity of Formula 1 racing, we're particularly obsessed thanks to style icon Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters. They're a great way to show off your personal style with color choices and your patches of choice, instantly adding a vibrant pop of attitude to any outfit.

Everyday Lace
Lingerie dressing is trending in a big way, and it's gotten a boost thanks to Hailey Bieber's flawless execution of the look. Sheer lace is one of the season's most beloved fabrics, and it's not just for pajamas and lingerie anymore, working its way into everyday looks, from dresses and tops to pants. The transparency lends an elegant yet audacious edge to the look, and how far you decide to take it is entirely up to you.
Showgirl Orange
Ever since Taylor Swift's recent announcement of her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, and the moment she flaunted its captivating cover, we knew Showgirl Orange would be the trending hue of the fall. Orange has always been classic for autumn, but it feels more appropriate than ever in 2025, with various shades, from bright tangerines to more subdued burnt oranges, conveying a sense of sophistication while drawing all eyes to you.

Sequined Everything
The Life of a Showgirl's album cover also received a bedazzled treatment, with orange glitter and layers of collaged rhinestones, which has us ready to ready to lean into sequined looks this fall. We love that they give us options, whether we want to glisten from head to toe, wear delicately accented pieces or even go all-out with reversible sequins that depict different messages depending on the direction they're facing. We're also big fans of an unexpected sequined accessory, for example heels or a clutch, to add a touch of glamour to an otherwise subdued ensemble.
