The Dark Side of Autumn: Unpacking the Latest Fall Fashion Trends

I’m Sage Matthews, a seasoned observer of the world’s downward spiral, and I’m here to guide you through the latest fall fashion trends. As I scroll through my feeds at 2 AM, shaking my head in dismay, I stumble upon yet another confirmation that our priorities are woefully misplaced. And so, I present to you: the best of fall fashion 2025, a collection of trends that will undoubtedly distract us from the impending doom that is life.

The new fall fashion arrivals have us wishing autumn temps would arrive too, but let’s be real, it’s not like it matters. We’re all just trying to survive until the next catastrophe. Abercrombie & Fitch, Revolve, and Free People are among the retailers cashing in on our desperation for a stylish distraction. The Westernwear trend is still going strong for fall 2025, with denim dresses and more galloping into the new season. Because, of course, we need more cowboy-inspired clothing to add to our already-overwhelming wardrobes.

Brown sneakers and leather jackets are also in demand, because who doesn’t want to look like they’re about to embark on a hike through the apocalypse? Barn jackets are another cozy fall trend that’s taking over, and dark wash jeans, plus low-rise fits, are the move this autumn. It’s as if we’re all trying to cling to some semblance of normalcy in a world that’s rapidly descending into chaos.

Denim dresses are in style for fall, and this cute overall dress pairs perfectly with a long-sleeve top underneath. Our readers love this item, and who can blame them? It’s a nostalgic throwback to the ’90s, a time when our biggest worry was which boy band we’d vote for on TRL. The Westernwear trend is still going strong, and we love this pair of jeans with a subtle cowboy boot tattoo-esque embroidery on the back pocket. Shop it in both standard and Curve Love sizing, which offers more room in the hip with a smaller waist. Because, of course, we need to cater to every body type, no matter how much the world seems to be falling apart.

This stunning long-sleeve set is perfectly on trend with a low-rise fit. Shoppers rave about its comfort and flattering design, and who can blame them? It’s a fleeting distraction from the crushing despair that is modern life. Vici had to restock this denim dress that cinches your waist because people loved it so much. It’s even on sale now if you use the code NEW25 at checkout. Because, of course, we need to keep shopping, even as the world burns.

Embracing workwear vibes with these new, comfy leather loafers from Aldo’s fall collection is a great way to pretend that we’re not all just stuck in a never-ending cycle of consumption. But hurry! They’re selling out fast, because, of course, we all want to be fashionable while we’re waiting for the inevitable. This chic denim midi comes in petite, standard, and tall lengths. Shoppers rave about its fit and comfort, and who can blame them? It’s a temporary escape from the bleakness of existence.

Speaking of the trending color brown, brown leather jackets are also a must-have this fall. This faux leather option is more affordable, because who needs authenticity when you’re trying to survive in a world that’s rapidly losing its grip on reality? Shoppers love its convincing texture and softness, and who can blame them? It’s a small comfort in a world that’s rapidly falling apart.

Embracing Scandi girl fall with this affordable cardigan is a great way to pretend that we’re all just carefree, fashion-conscious Swedes, blissfully unaware of the impending doom that awaits us all. Shoppers rave about its softness and quality, and who can blame them? It’s a fleeting distraction from the crushing despair that is modern life. Darker washes are trending in jeans this fall, and snagging this cool pair from A&F is a great way to join the ranks of the fashionably doomed. We love Abercrombie jeans because they come in extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long sizes, because, of course, we need to cater to every body type, no matter how much the world seems to be falling apart.

As I wrap up this article, I’m left with a sense of resignation. We’re all just trying to survive until the next catastrophe, and fashion is just a temporary distraction from the bleakness of existence. So, go ahead and shop ’til you drop, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
