Crisp air, golden afternoons, and the chance to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that feel both elevated and effortless. So, what do you wear in the fall? This year, the answer is clear: sculptural coats, romantic layers, earthy colors, and accessories that do the talking. Here’s your guide to the biggest 2025 fall fashion trends — and how to wear them everywhere from winery weekends to coastal getaways.

The runways and editors agree: this fall is about drama with intention. Volume, texture, and rich tones create looks that feel confident, wearable, and a little indulgent in the best ways.

• Sculptural Outerwear – Oversized cocoon coats, duvet-puff jackets, sweeping trenches. In the resort world, we think of these as your third layer— the piece that adds instant dimension when you’re transitioning from poolside to city stroll.

• Romantic Layers – Lace blouses, embroidered tops, flowing skirts. These are the kinds of feminine details that pair just as easily with raffia sandals on a warm getaway as they do with boots at a fall winery.

• Leather Everywhere – Leather sharpens any look. A sculptural bag, strappy sandals, or a simple belt—small touches that keep your resort pieces polished, even when you’re layering for cooler weather.

• Eclectic Prints – From animal prints to playful polka dots, patterns are part of the resort spirit. This season’s bold prints feel just as right with a bikini at the beach as they do layered under a chunky knit.

• Brown Is the New Black – Chocolate, caramel, espresso — these rich tones ground your resort wardrobe. Swap black for brown, and suddenly your linen dresses and silk skirts feel fresher, more current.

• Knitwear with Personality – Puff sleeves, cables, argyle, heritage stripes. Draped over your shoulders on a breezy evening or styled with a slip dress, knits bring a cozy dimension to resort classics without losing their laid-back ease.

Wondering what colors to wear for fall? Spoiler alert: brown is the new black. And this season, we’re leaning into it fully. From chocolate to caramel, brown is no longer just a neutral — it’s bold, versatile, and surprisingly chic. Think wide-leg trousers, sculptural leather sandals, and oversized coats in every shade of cocoa. But don’t stop there. Layer in:

• Earth tones – terracotta, camel, moss — for warmth and dimension.
  
  

• Berry shades – plum, cranberry, merlot — for richness that feels cozy yet luxe.
  
  

• Soft neutrals – oat, ivory, stone — for balance and understated elegance.
  
  

• Unexpected brights – really anything to make your seasonal wardrobe pop.
  
  

It’s the kind of palette that feels intentional without trying too hard—exactly what your resort-inspired fall wardrobe needs.

Wine tasting is basically fall’s runway show — you need an outfit that feels chic yet relaxed.

• A knit long dress in merlot— sophisticated, cozy, and perfectly vineyard-ready.
  
  

• Sculptural wood-heel sandals in supple brown leather—effortless polish with a modern, resort-ready edge.
  
  

• Gold jewelry that catches the light as the sun dips over the vines.
  
  

Case in point: It’s a look that says, "yes, I know my tannins and my trends."

Of course the beach in fall is a thing. It’s less about tanning and more about atmosphere: cool air, soft light, a cozy walk along the shore. At ViX, fall beach style is all about effortless layering, elevated ease, and pieces that move seamlessly from shore to sunset.

• Wide-leg trousers or luxe brown pants – this season’s must-have, perfect for pairing with your favorite knit or blouse, and grounding lighter resort pieces.
  
  

• A romantic blouse under a chunky cable knit – the ultimate mix of femininity and warmth, letting you feel polished yet relaxed.
  
  

• Loafers, sculptural sandals, or flat boots – laid-back polish that works whether you’re walking on sand or cobblestones.
  
  

• A structured trench and a raffia tote – contrast soft textures with tailored outerwear, keeping your look sophisticated but still effortless.
