8 Fall 2025 Trends That Are Already It-Girl Approved
While it's true that summer vacations are still in full swing and the days are still very long and the temperatures very high, we're inching closer and closer to fall, and the trends It girls are starting to wear are reflective of that. When you're a celebrity or influencer, being the first to wear all of the approaching season's trends is kind of your unspoken job, so that's who I look to to see which trends are breaking first.
We'll certainly start to see more and more fall trends being adopted as August marches on, but I spent a significant chunk of time scrolling through It girls' Instagram feeds and found a handful of early fall trends they're already jumping on. So if you're like me and kick off your fall shopping to coincide with the back-to-school commercials, scroll on to get a head start with the It girl-approved trends I spotted on my feed.
Funnel-Neck Jackets
Funnel-neck jackets, especially those that are a bit sporty (like Elsa Hosk's), are poised to be fall's number one jacket trend. They're already starting to sell out, so I wouldn't hesitate on this one.

Red Patent-Leather Shoes
Thanks to Chanel (words I've written often), red patent-leather flats are all over my feed, as specific as they may be. Sure, the Chanel ballet flats Emili Sindlev has been posting are the goal, but plenty of other brands are already jumping on the bandwagon. This is a shoe trend that's guaranteed to make all of your outfits cooler and more special.

Plaid Print
Some would say that plaid is to fall what flowers are to spring. Plaid may not be all that groundbreaking, but I have a hunch that fashion people like influencer Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks, pictured below, are going to find many new and cool ways to style checks.

Flat Slipper Mules
Sure, we still have loafers and ballet flats, but luxe slipper mules are shaping up to be the biggest flats trend of the season. They give every outfit an effortlessly elegant feel, so I'm not surprised that It girls such as Anouk Yve are embracing them.

Faux Fur Outerwear
Another not-all-that-unexpected trend on the horizon is faux-fur outerwear, which was in keeping with the sophisticated vintage vibe that littered the F/W 25 runways. Rosie Huntington-Whitely found a smart way to meld it with summery pieces—white flared jeans, in this case.
