8 autumn 2025 Trends That Are Already It Girl Approved

It’s true that summer holidays are in full swing, the days are still very long, and the temperatures are very high. We are, however, inching closer and closer to autumn, and the trends It girls are starting to wear reflect 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 autumn 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 autumn trends they’re already jumping on. If you kick off your autumn 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.

Style Notes: Funnel-neck jackets, especially those that are a bit sporty (like Elsa Hosk‘s), are poised to be autumn’s number one jacket trend. They’re already starting to sell out, so don’t hesitate on this one.

Style Notes: Thanks to Chanel, 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 jumping on the bandwagon. This is a shoe trend that’s guaranteed to make all of your outfits cooler and more special.

Style Notes: 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.

Style Notes: Another not-all-that-unexpected trend on the horizon is faux-fur outerwear, which is aligned with the sophisticated, vintage-like vibe that littered the autumn/winter 2025 runways. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley found a smart way to meld it with summery pieces—white flared jeans, in this case.
