Hello lovely,

When I stepped outside this morning, the air was 62 degrees and it felt like fall had finally arrived. That crisp breeze carried every bit of excitement I love about this season—football weekends, the glow of pumpkin spice candles, Halloween magic, leaves starting to turn, and yes…fall fashion. There’s just nothing like that first hint of cooler weather to remind me why fall is my favorite reset.

After slowing down in London, I came home craving that same kind of intentionality in my wardrobe. And let me tell you—Fall 2025 is delivering.

The trends this season aren’t about fast fashion moments that will disappear by December. They’re grounded, wearable, and timeless—anchored in rich tones, textures that beg to be touched, and tailoring that makes you walk taller without even realizing it.

Chocolate and toffee shades are everywhere, stepping in as the new neutrals. Picture a caramel leather trench layered over a chunky knit, gold jewelry catching the light—warm, elevated, and endlessly chic. If solid neutrals are too boring for you, think bougie cowgirl vibes. Cow prints (but subtle) or of course, leopard prints.

Leather is softer this year, too—oversized blazers with a slouch, skirts that move with you, wide belts that feel bold but wearable. True buttery feels all around.

Tailoring has also evolved into something modern and feminine. Cinched-waist blazers, cropped trousers, even vests that nod to menswear while still feeling powerful and polished. I recently bought one from Zara and immediately stood taller and felt sexier—it’s that kind of energy.

Textures are taking center stage this season: quilted knits, shearling, mohair, cozy details that turn layering into an art. But there’s also a softer side—lace is making a comeback, not in a frilly, overly delicate way, but as a refined accent. Think lace trim peeking out from under a blazer, sheer lace blouses layered with chunky knits, or even lace-paneled skirts that add a touch of femininity to structured tailoring. It’s that subtle nod to romance that makes an outfit feel layered with personality.

And accessories? Think sculptural earrings, layered gold chains, and embellished flats that take an outfit from simple to styled in a single step.

Even plaid is having a new moment—less schoolgirl, more sophisticated. Muted tones, unexpected mixes, pairing checks with stripes. It feels less like a uniform, more like an expression.

That’s where I’m landing this season: warm tones, buttery leathers, intentional tailoring, tactile textures, lace details, statement accessories, and plaid reimagined. Classic with interest, timeless with just enough edge—that’s the Lavender & Linen way.

I’ve rounded up some pieces I love so you can bring these trends into your own closet. Because fashion isn’t about buying everything new; it’s about choosing the right pieces that make you feel like the best version of you.
