Autumn 2025 Fashion Trends: How to Style Checks, Capes, Lace & Power Suits with a French Girl Twist
This autumn is all about standing out with your own twist. The runways have something for everyone: lace for the girly girls, faux fur for the femme fatales, draped capes for the artsy souls, and sharp power suits for those ready to rule the business world. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to mix and match these trends with our pieces for a funky French vibe. So grab your chai latte and get ready for some inspiration, because your crispy-cool autumn wardrobe isn’t just about what you buy, it’s also about rediscovering the treasures already hanging in your closet.
1. Check? Check!
The checked pattern has always been one of my all-time favorites - maybe it’s my inner punk soul showing. This autumn, it’s making a big return to the runways, and to our hearts. Patterns can be tricky if you want to keep things classy, but a checked jacket is the perfect way to stay on-trend without losing elegance. Pair it with brown pants and a crisp white tee, and you’re ready to go!

2. Drape the cape!
Picture this: a chilly Paris morning, you’re sipping a cappuccino at a café, wrapping a warm blanket around your shoulders while listening to the soft buzz of conversations around you. Comfort at its finest, right? The good news is you don’t need to wait for these one-of-a-kind moments to feel that cozy. This season, you can take the blanket with you in the form of a draped cape. They’re ruling the streets right now, and for good reason. Pair yours with a pencil skirt for a sleek, balanced silhouette, and when the temperatures drop, add a crew-neck sweater for that extra layer of chic warmth.

3.Yes, Ma’am!
Girl bosses are bossing, and the world is finally noticing! Sharp-cut blazers and tailored pants have been around for a few seasons, but this autumn, designers are taking them to the next level. Power suits are officially in. But don’t worry—you don’t have to go “all in” to enjoy this trend. Swap the classic shirt for a simple tee, and you’ll get a look that feels more comfortable—and maybe even more confident. You’ve got this, girl!

4. Enchanté!
For the past decade or so, lace has taken a little break. But ladies, I’ve got good news: it’s back - and in a big way. Time to step into your princess era with ruffled blouses, dreamy dresses, or even lace pants if you dare! For a little Frenchie twist, tie your hair up in a messy bun with one of our scrunchies. With this trend, more is definitely more, so go ahead, you’ve got the green light!
