I'm the Creative Director at Vince—These Pieces Will Be Staples In My Fall Wardrobe

By Swedan MargenAugust 19, 2025

There are a few words that come to mind when thinking about the California-based label, Vince—ahem, elevated, sophisticated, and versatile, to name a few. The brand has been around for over two decades and has built a cult following amongst the fashion crowd for its modern cuts and premium fabrics. And yes, the newly dropped fall collection is synonymous with all of the descriptors I just mentioned. The mastermind behind the coveted offerings is Caroline Belhumeur, the creative director and head of design (pictured above).

Describing the inspiration behind the fall 2025 collection, Belhumeur shared: "We always think about balance; for fall we were inspired by menswear shapes and patterns, so you'll see plaids, suedes, and leather trim details throughout. These structured pieces sit against softer silk silhouettes along with gathering and lace elements that create visual interest and texture when styling together."

Below you'll find a deeper dive into the specific fall trends Belhumeur is standing behind this season, along with fresh Vince pieces that are now available to shop as you build out your fall wardrobe.

The Fall Staples:

Chocolate Brown Pieces

"For fall, chocolate brown is our neutral anchor for the season. My personal favorite— our tailored brown suede blazer and trouser, whether worn together or as separates, these pieces will work really hard in your wardrobe." — Belhumeur

Plaid Items

"Plaids of different proportions and argyles anchor this season. While they're having a moment, they're absolutely timeless and offer so much versatility within a wardrobe. Our Pressed Plaid Wool Coat creates a statement no matter how you style it, I love the slightly oversized nature of it when open, but also looks sharp when belted."— Belhumeur

Kitten Heels

"Another shoe that we really leaned into this season was a white pointy kitten heel. With heavier fabrics and more heritage prints, such as plaid, a crisp white shoe adds an unexpected edge, especially when styled with a black semi-sheer tight."— Belhumeur
