Fall 2025 Fashion & Jewelry: Complete Looks for the Season
Fashion is at its most exciting when clothes and accessories work together. Fall 2025’s runways delivered a wardrobe of nomadic layers, tailored prep, punk‑inspired leather and shimmering sequins, all underpinned by a bold palette of pinks, blues, yellows and earthy neutrals. At the same time, jewellers championed riotous colour, sculptural forms and nostalgic motifs. This guide brings those trends together by curating head‑to‑toe looks that balance garments, colours and jewelry for the new season.
1. Seasonal colour palette
Designers are embracing a spectrum of hues that set the mood for fall 2025. 24 k gold is appearing on runways at Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Gabriela Hearst; this lustrous yellow can be used as an accent against muted neutrals or layered patterns. A romantic tea‑rose pink—a softer successor to 2024’s hot pink—dominated dresses and separates at Khaite, Simone Rocha and Ferragamo. Icy blues like powder and periwinkle are endorsed by Cecilie Bahnsen, Prabal Gurung and Chloé; the delicate hue is versatile enough to wear head‑to‑toe or as a single piece. Marigold, a cheerful yellow‑orange, appears in skirts and pleated dresses from Prada and Bottega Veneta. A sultry cardinal red—an alternative to siren red—shows up in Gucci’s lace dresses and Carven’s office‑ready separates. Elegant chocolate brown replaces basic black; Max Mara wove it into tailoring, evening wear and ‘70s‑style jackets. Frog green is replacing last year’s brat green with grassy hues on runways such as Sandy Liang and Victoria Beckham.
2. Looks that combine clothing and jewelry trends
2.1 Boho nomad with coloured gemstones
Inspired by the nomadic spirit trend, style a flowing maxi dress or skirt and crocheted or embroidered coat with earthy tones like marigold and frog green. Ground the outfit with flat boots and a braided leather belt.
Jewelry pairing: Embrace riotous colour by layering enamel or cabochon gemstone necklaces and chunky rings. Use 33 cabochon stones necklace which creates a rainbow effect or necklace which mixes cuts and colours for a kaleidoscopic feel. Supplement with bead bracelets and pendant cord necklaces for a laid‑back bohemian vibe.
2.2 Prep academia with brooches and rivières
Combine a chocolate‑brown or cardinal‑red plaid blazer with a pleated skirt or corduroy trousers, crisp shirt and collegiate sweater vest to capture the modern prep and preppy academia trend. Choose colours like tea‑rose pink for a softer, feminine touch.
Jewelry pairing: Pin a vintage‑inspired brooch on the lapel—the season’s brooch revival encourages borrowing from a relative or sourcing a large, campy pin. Add a modern rivière necklace, updated with asymmetrical coloured stones or diamonds; Renna’s graduated rivière mixes stones and finishes with a diamond clasp. Finish with mismatched pearl studs or drop earrings.
2.3 Punk‑luxe leather with pearls and cuffs
For the uptown punk trend, wear a black leather jacket over a lace‑trimmed slip dress. Opt for sequinned skirts or studded leather trousers to introduce subtle shine. A cardinal‑red lip or accessory will enhance the rebellious feel.
Jewelry pairing: Contrast edgy clothing with oversized baroque pearls. Cosmopolitan notes that huge pearls—whether studs, chokers or long strings—bring opulence reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties. Pearls are breaking free from prim‑and‑proper shells through irregular shapes and mismatched sizes. Stack sculptural cuffs on one wrist and layered mixed‑metal bangles on the other to tie in the season’s penchant for statement wristwear and mixed metals.
2.4 Minimalist pastels with mixed metals
Choose an icy‑blue slip dress or periwinkle knit paired with minimalist heels or flats for a simple yet on‑trend outfit. This look is ideal for day‑to‑night styling and can be layered with a tailored coat in chocolate brown for contrast.
Jewelry pairing: Layer necklaces in different lengths and metals to echo the season’s mixed‑metal trend. The “one‑metal mindset is officially out”—combining gold, silver and rose gold adds interest. Use delicate chains for subtlety or add a molten pendant on a silk cord for a bolder statement. Complete the look with contemporary pearls—think sculptural, asymmetrical pearls mixed with gold or silver accents.
2.5 Country heritage with natural materials
Embrace the country‑coded trend by pairing a Fair Isle sweater or quilted outerwear with high‑waisted trousers or a denim skirt. Work in earthy hues like chocolate brown and frog green. Finish with chunky rubber boots or loafers.
Jewelry pairing: Choose beaded necklaces made from natural materials like wood, stone or resin. Bold beads are identified as a modern take on 1970s boho chic, while Classy Women Collection highlights the popularity of natural-material beads and rope chains that symbolise unity. Add a charm bracelet or playful motif earrings featuring animals or fruits to echo the countryside theme.
2.6 Fringe & sculptural glamour
Wear a fringed skirt or tassel‑trimmed dress—a key element of the maximalism for minimalists trend — in a marigold or 24k‑gold tone. Add a structured blazer for balance and pair with strappy heels or boots.
Jewelry pairing: Pick sculptural statement pieces. Supersized, twisted and geometric designs blurs the line between jewellery and art. These pieces complement the movement of fringe without competing for attention.
2.7 Sequin soirée with Art Deco accents
For evening, slip into a sequined cocktail dress or shimmering co‑ord. Designers championed 24/7 sequins, pairing them with cashmere or trousers. Choose cardinal red or 24k gold to stand out.
Jewelry pairing: Tap into Art Deco influences with angular earrings or geometric pendants. Use beaded necklace and earrings reference 1920s design through bold colour and angular lines. Add a brooch with deco motifs or wear a long diamond rivière for extra sparkle. Finish with mismatched earrings or fringe drops for movement.
3. Styling tips
- Balance colour and texture. Use the season’s palette strategically: pair marigold or 24k gold clothing with cool‑toned gems like sapphires or periwinkle pearls; offset tea‑rose pink pieces with green or citrine stones.
- Layer with intention. Create depth by stacking necklaces of varying lengths and mixing metals and materials. Allow one statement piece—like an oversize pearl necklace or sculptural cuff—to be the focal point and keep other accessories simple.
- Mix vintage and modern. Brooches and Art Deco motifs add historical charm to contemporary clothing. Combine heirloom pieces with modern rivières or mismatched earrings for contrast.
- Play with proportions. When wearing oversized silhouettes (like boho layers or fringe), choose jewellery with clean lines or sculptural curves to avoid overwhelming the outfit. For tailored looks, add drama with colourful gemstones or bold pearls.
Fall 2025 invites fashion enthusiasts to experiment with rich colour and texture. From nomadic layers to preppy blazers and punk‑luxe leather, each clothing trend finds its perfect partner in this season’s jewellery: riotous coloured gemstones, modern rivières, baroque pearls, sculptural cuffs and playful charms. By considering the season’s palette — 24 k gold, tea‑rose pink, icy blue, marigold, cardinal red, periwinkle, chocolate brown and frog green—and mixing metals and materials, wearers can create cohesive looks that feel both contemporary and timeless. Whether you lean into boho chic, minimalist pastels or sparkling evening glamour, the key is to let your jewellery tell part of the story.
