Fall is my favorite season for fashion. Period. I’ve shared shopping guides already of my initial fall favorites. I even created fall outfit ideas from Nordstrom. Well, I thought I’d continue with outfit inspiration with five fall looks I think are wildly chic for the season. I also should note that the images below are all ensembles I’ve sent to those in my inner circle when they’ve asked for ideas.
Below are five directional looks featuring key fall 2025 items. You’ll find everything from a more casual look with a must-have plaid shirt to a sleek tailored look that could work for a variety of occasions. Keep scrolling for more, along with shopping recommendations.
This look with the lace-trim top underneath a sweater is a combo the fashion crowd continues to gravitate toward. Sweater-wise, the higher-neck V-neck sweater is very chic here, as is the cuff over the sleeve.

A plaid shirt is cool and relevant right now. Consider styling it open with a tee underneath and relaxed pants. Flip-flops could work now, but you could swap in a sneaker or a pair of flats when the temperatures drop a bit more.
