Fall Trends 2025: Depth, Desire & Divine Intention
The Palette of the Season
This season, two defining forces lead the fashion conversation: Merlot and Koi Leopard. More than colors, they are emotional statements—shaping silhouettes, textures, and accessories that define Fall 2025.
Merlot: The New Power Neutral
Bordeaux tones return with strength, emerging as Fall 2025’s alternative to black. Merlot is sensual, grounded, and sophisticated—its richness brings warmth to tailoring and elegance to eveningwear. Think longline blazers in satin-finish wool, wide-leg trousers with a wine-stained sheen, and silk slip dresses that catch the candlelight.
- Trend Tie-In: Power suiting in Merlot is a standout—structured shoulders paired with fluid trousers create a silhouette that’s both commanding and feminine.
- Evening Mood: Designers are leaning into liquid fabrics—bias-cut satins, crushed velvets, and silk charmeuse—that drape effortlessly in this hue.
- Accessories: Burgundy leather handbags, plum-toned knee-high boots, and deep wine nails complete the head-to-toe tone-on-tone look.
Merlot’s message for 2025 is clear: luxury doesn’t shout—it resonates.
KOI Leopard: Primal Elegance
Animal print never truly leaves, but Fall 2025 redefines it with sleek restraint and unexpected pairings. Koi Leopard is not the loud, maximalist pattern of seasons past—it’s subtle, modern, and elevated. Think brushed jacquard coats, silk blouses tucked into clean-lined skirts, or leopard accessories layered into a monochrome base.
- Trend Tie-In: The revival of statement outerwear makes Koi Leopard a hero print—oversized cocoon coats and sharply tailored trenches in muted leopard ground any look.
- Day to Night: Leopard slip dresses layered under chunky knits or styled with over-the-knee boots bring versatility to the print.
- Accessories: Micro bags, waist belts, and bangles in Koi Leopard print add just enough wildness to otherwise structured looks.
For Fall 2025, leopard is less about rebellion and more about instinctual glamour—feminine, untamed, yet refined.
