2025 Back-to-School Outfit Trends

8/25/2025


Fall 2025 is all about nostalgic revivals with a modern twist - plaid, pleats, preppy tailoring, and unexpected layering are making a splash. Here's how the biggest trends are shaping the season:

  • Pleated Skater Tennis Skirt – A sporty yet polished revival of the pleated skirt craze, driven by tenniscore and dark-academia vibes. Opt for leather, plaid, or athletic fabrics for a fresh twist.



  • Sleeveless Tartan Dress – Plaid continues to dominate. Think sleeveless tartan looks that deliver both heritage charm and bold, structured style.



  • Trench Coat – A timeless layering piece, the trench remains essential for transitional weather. Oversized and patterned options are particularly on-trend. This one is a bit pricey but definitely worth the investment.



  • Boyfriend Blazer – Echoing ’80s power dressing, oversized blazers deliver structure with attitude and are everywhere this fall. 



  • Plaid & Tweed – Tweed blouses and plaid textures deliver academic sophistication and nostalgic flair - perfect for building a smart preppy look. 

  • Mary Jane Ballet Flats – A street-style staple, Mary Janes bring retro polish to pleated skirts, sock combos, or layered jackets.



  • Additional Trends – Wide-leg jeans, suede textures, mules, and structured accessories round out the season’s key looks. 




PS: I know these might not be the best choice for school days but I couldn't skip them - The Perfect Mule Sandals for this fall. How insane these look?
Also with this Chocolate Shoulder Bag it will be a match made in heaven.




PSS: Don't forget your Short Sleeve White Blouse - the statement of every school day. And for the days when you want to be more casual go for this Denim Vest  - it's on my wishlist already.
