Fall may officially start in 53 days, but for fashion insiders, preparation for the new season is already well underway. We’ve observed and analyzed the fall/winter 2025 collections back in February and curated a list of top trends. Now that the new arrivals have begun trickling in, we’ve taken an early note of the items, especially the designer ones, that will reach It status by fall.
What earns this high honor usually depends on factors such as brand legacy (think Dior, Prada, and Saint Laurent), limited runs, and celebrity endorsements. However, it also involves recognizing standout runway pieces and understanding cultural influences as well as the popularity of items from past seasons. With this in mind, we explored the new-in sections of our favorite luxury retailers and brands, scrolling through everything to round up what we predict will be the 14 It buys for fall 2025. Whether you’re looking to purchase something new and special or simply using this list as inspiration to pull out something similar from your wardrobe, keep scrolling to discover our edit now.

You know The Row’s Hugo Clogs that Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz always wear? Well, those are now old news. The Row released a new slide style called Hudson this week, which features the same easy slip-on design and contoured footbed as the Hugo but with more fabric around the foot, making the shoes extend a bit higher around the ankle. Basically, they’re newer and better and will be everywhere this fall.
Alaïa
Ruffled Cotton-Blend Track Pants
It wouldn’t be an edit of It finds without something from Alaïa. The brand has many amazing new pieces, like its barrel-leg jeans, suede tote bag, and Decollete Pumps, but these outdoor-friendly sweatpants are not to be missed. Mytheresa is the last retailer to have them available. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
The D-Motion Bag is the French fashion house’s big bag debut of 2025. It launched last week as part of the brand’s F/W 25 collection and is available in small and medium sizes, various color options, gold-tone metal hardware, and a smooth or crinkled lambskin leather finish. With the Macrocannage motif and Dior charms, it fuses modernity with timeless elegance.
JW Anderson
Curved-Hem Cotton Workwear Jacket
You heard it here first: This is the It jacket of fall 2025. With its cotton fabric and contrast collar, it offers the classic barn style that fashion people have come to love but has an elegant twist from the subtle peplum hem. For brunch with friends, style it with tailored pants or jeans.
Miu Miu
Buckled Leather Sneakers
Sneaker lovers, rejoice. There’s a new Miu Miu style on the market, and it’s not part of a New Balance collaboration. The Buckled Leather Sneakers feature the retro-inspired sleek design we all know and love infused with modern fashion elements, like a chunky buckle across the top and a double lace fastening. Trust us—owning this pair is a sign of good taste.
Bottega Veneta
Large Campana Bag
Bottega Veneta has reintroduced its classic Campana Bag in an updated version that no longer features gunmetal hardware. It won’t be long before fashion insiders like Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley start carrying it.
GUCCI
Striped Ribbed Silk Polo Shirt
Striped polo shirts, aka the preppy staple, are appearing everywhere, so if you’ve been thinking about adding one to your wardrobe, now is the time to. After researching and comparing the options, we expect Gucci’s to be the most coveted style because of its luxurious details, such as the mother-of-pearl buttons, silk fabric, and iconic red-and-green stripe on the cuffs.
SAVETTE
Symmetry Textured-Leather Wallet
Between Khaite’s Lina bag and Phoebe Philo’s Small Gig style, crossbody silhouettes are making a comeback. Another style worth noting is Savette’s new Symmetry Textured-Leather Wallet, which, as its name suggests, is a wallet on a leather strap. We’d sling it across the body and wear it to a concert or the movies, pairing it with jeans, a white tank top, and a leather jacket.
It’s not even September, but stylish celebrities like Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Kaia Gerber, and Kendall Jenner are already wearing knee-high boots with dresses and skirts. If it’s time for you to invest in a designer pair, add Chloé’s new Dakota Boots to your cart. They’re timeless, edgy, versatile, and tasteful. If you prefer a shorter style, they also come in ankle length.
The sporty-jacket trend is continuing into fall, but red hues are giving it a new twist, making it feel fresh and different from past styles. Roucha’s Janssen jacket is a great option—as is Massimo Dutti’s bomber jacket. For outfit inspiration, see how content creator Shay styled hers here.
loewe
Rounded Soft Woven Belt
According to the fall/winter 2025 runway collections, belts will be the key to pulling together any look come September. Whether worn alone to cinch a jacket or layered around a skirt’s waist, this often-overlooked accessory is worth investing in. What we love about Loewe’s Rounded Soft Woven Belt is that it offers the same look as The Row’s sold-out Ava belt, which was a hit earlier this summer, but has a more refined and winter-ready feel.
Toteme
Suede Convertible Clutch
If you love Toteme for its mid-priced designer bags, then you should know about its new Suede Convertible Clutch. It features the same elegant design and versatility as the beloved T-Lock bag but has a more understated look, as it has less hardware. Dress it up with an LBD and heels or down with jeans and a tee.
Every season, it seems like one or two pieces from Khaite become must-haves among fashion people everywhere. Previously, it was items like the viral Benny Belt, Danielle Jeans, Nevada Boots, and Julius Earrings. For fall, we predict the Nina Skirt will be the coveted item because the oxblood version is already sold out everywhere.
Prada
Antiqued Leather Pumps
The Who What Wear fashion team has been eagerly waiting for these to arrive on Prada’s site ever since they were shown on the runway during the brand’s F/W 25 show in February. Now that they’re finally here and available to shop, we’re rushing to get our hands on them. Once the word gets out, they won’t be available for long.
