💼 Top Fall Jacket Trends 2025

1. Oversized Blazers

The power blazer is back — bigger and better than ever. Oversized, structured blazers offer both polish and comfort, giving you that "I just threw this on and look amazing" vibe.

Holly highlights the Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer as a wardrobe MVP: wear it fitted or oversized, with jeans or joggers, or over a dress. This is the transitional layering piece that never goes out of style.

2. The Trench Coat (and the Cropped Trench!)

You can't talk about outerwear without paying homage to the trench coat. Holly takes us on a quick fashion history tour — from its military roots in the 1850s to its Hollywood glamour moments with Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren.

The cropped trench is Fall 2025's twist on this timeless piece — lightweight, modern, and perfect for those unpredictable "is it cold or not?" days. Ideal for windy afternoons, light rain, or layering over knits without adding bulk.

3. Quilted Coats

Think of it as a literal quilt made into a jacket? Um, yes. Or, a jacket with a diamond stitched pattern which adds a cozy texture and visual interest to your outfit. #YYASSS

Holly loves this nod to vintage style and points to the sustainable designs she spotted at Round Top, Texas, where artisans upcycle blankets into wearable art.

✨ Styling Tip: Pair a quilted jacket with denim and a simple tee for effortless weekend chic.

4. Vegan Leather Jackets

A continuing favorite — and for good reason. Holly's liquid leather moto jackets are bestsellers for a reason: they're soft, sleek, and incredibly versatile.

These jackets give you all the edge of leather without the heaviness (or the guilt). Whether you're styling jeans, joggers, or a midi dress, vegan leather adds instant cool.

5. The Toile Print Car Coat

Fall 2025's statement jacket? The Black & White French Toile Print Car Coat. Elegant yet practical, this coat takes you from day to night — from errands to evening events — without missing a beat.

Dress it down with denim or up with an LBD. The timeless pattern adds just the right amount of personality while staying totally classic.

6. Western-Inspired Jackets

Yee-haw, but make it modern. The Western flair hasn't gone anywhere — suede, fringe, embroidered denim, and even crystal-embellished pieces on top and bottom are a must-have!

These pieces are chic showstoppers and will be something your people will wonder where you will be going "all dressed up".

🤠 Styling Tip: Balance the boldness — Let the embellished or leather piece be the star. The rest of the outfit are the supporting actors.

💬 Fashion Law of the Week

"When you have the correct fitting clothes, you won't feel like you need to lose weight."

Let's stitch that on a pillow and put this on a t-shirt, besties.

You deserve to feel amazing in your clothes right now — not after you lose five pounds, not next season.

Confidence starts with fit and comfort. Period.

💕 Holly's Encouragement for Fall

Fall is the perfect time to refresh, reevaluate, and reinvent. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and head to that coat closet — rediscover what you already love, let go of what no longer fits your style, and make room for the new pieces that make you feel fabulous.

Because when you feel good in what you wear, everything else just falls into place.

You have the right to look and feel fabulous every single day — and Holly's here to help you do just that.
