Online fashion wholesale platform JOOR has unveiled its latest shoppable trends report with the company saying the autumn season will see “a return to high glamour and fun-fuelled femininity”. 

That means “sequin-strewn embellishments and impactful animal prints to dramatic new construction details and silhouettes”. That view is based on runway brands “increasingly eschewing the muted themes of quiet luxury in favour of more maximalist looks”.

The On Trend: Women’s Fall 2025 report has identified six key trends to be buying into for AW25.

Animal Print sees classic leopard and snakeskin, plus zebra “bringing boldness back to fashion”. Stella McCartney showcased faux python dresses made from an innovative vegan fabric of mushroom origin, while Versace took a more traditional approach with flashes of leopard print popping up on silk babydolls and leather handbags that are strong for party season.

The Bohemian Glamour trend sees last season’s boho looks continuing as Chloé, Blumarine and Zimmerman all chose to “embrace a 1970s aesthetic once again”. Designers are also “leaning into the glamorous rock and roll spirit of the decade, creating floaty lace maxi dresses that make for eye-catching day or eveningwear”. Some paired ethereal pieces with fur waistcoats and layers of gold jewellery, while others sent models down the runway in silk creations teamed with knee-high boots and sunglasses “for the ultimate in off-duty glamour”.
‍
The Polished Neutrals look “provides a palette cleanser” with cream, brown and putty grey separates “set to become one of the biggest trends, as these serene shades elevated everything from skirts to shirts and accessories on the runway”. It “brings a ladylike sophistication to any ensemble” with standout interpretations coming from Tory Burch and Brioni.

Statement Coats are always big in the cold-weather season and this time are all about oversized collars, extra wide sleeves and “larger-than-life silhouettes” as this trend “plays with volume and proportion in unexpected ways”. Sacai brought deconstructed shearling and puffer coats to the catwalk‍ while Khaite’s camel coloured wool coats with dramatic draping offered a more wearable take on the trend. Extra-long coats are also clearly key and while JOOR didn’t reference it, that was something that took a starring role at Coach as the first items to emerge onto the runway were maxi (not maximalist) coats.

Sparkle & Shine is another trend often seen in AW due to party season coming in the middle of it, “but this year styles are shining brighter than ever”. Designers “are going all out on sequins, chrome fringing and metallic mesh to create a trend for those looking to lift their spirits and indulge in a taste of opulence”. For Jil Sander’s collection, pleats and fringing were comprised entirely of sequins, creating a sparkling spectacle against its pitch-black show staging. At Jenny Packham, an evening gown made up of hundreds of silver and gold studs “proved that this trend truly has the wow factor”.

Finally, there’s Skinny Pants. In a “departure from the wide-legged styles of former seasons, the skinny-fit pant has made a triumphant comeback with designers like Prabal Gurung and Versace leading the charge. Adding a slim leg silhouette into a wardrobe is easy and works with a variety of different shoe styles,” we’re told. Also embracing the trend were MSGM with patent leather skinny pants paired with open toe fur-sole sandals, while Victoria Beckham’s slim leg wool pants were teamed with loafers. Dries Van Noten also gave skinny pants a printed makeover “for an interesting take on the style that feels fresh and unexpected”.

Amanda McCormick Bacal, SVP of marketing, said: “This season’s runway shows mark a notable shift away from the quiet luxury sensibility of recent years towards a revived sense of maximalism, with brands vying to inject a louder aesthetic into our wardrobes.”
