5 affordable fall fashion trends in 2025 (and where to shop them)
The temperatures are down, the leaves are falling, and PSLs are back on the menu, which can only mean one thing…it’s fall, baby! Whether you are a pumpkin person in September or wait until October 1st, one thing we can all agree on is that it's time to shop for fall fashion. With so many cozy options, there are endless shopping temptations. I’ve rounded up the top affordable Fall Fashion Trends of 2025, and found the best places to shop them on a budget. Whether you’re refreshing your workwear or updating your weekend looks, these trends prove that fashion on a budget can still look high-end.
Denim Refreshed
Peplum Top / / Denim Midi Skirt // Suede Boots
All denim outfits first made an appearance last year, and it definitely felt like a trend that would pass quickly. However, it is back this fall, bigger than ever. If the lighter wash denim is a little too 1990s for you, try matching a dark denim midi skirt and a top that can be worn together or separately. This set is under $50, and the pattern also adds a little bit of texture, so you can still be part of the trend without feeling too much like you're from Saved By The Bell.
Oversized Blazers
Khaki Blazer // Suede Blazer // Brown Blazer // Plaid Blazer // Brown Blazer 2 // Leather Blazer
Blazers are my number one favorite fall and winter clothing item because they are so versatile. Oversized blazers can be a great substitute for a jacket if you want to look chic for a night out and stay warm, and they can also be styled for work. Grab an affordable blazer in plaid, and you can hit two fall fashion trends with one item!
My favorite places to shop for affordable blazers:
Cowboy Boots
Denim Midi Dress // Cowboy Boots
If you live in the South or have been to a SEC college football game, then cowboy boots for fall should come as no surprise. Besides sorority buttons and red solo cups, cowboy boots are a staple for all college football tailgates. They are a great option for a stylish shoe that is not a sneaker, and the heel is low enough that you can walk for miles. Add a flare jean and a blazer for a more polished look!

Rich Autumn Tones
Orange Sweater // Chartreuse Dress // Maroon Pants // Blue Suede Jacket // Burgundy Set // Yellow Sweater // Green Pants
Burgundy and maroon made a splash last year, and the rich tones are only expanding for Fall 2025 fashion. Richer tones are a great way to incorporate color into your fall wardrobe, but they can also be styled as a neutral, which is great if you are more of a neutral person in the fall and winter. Here are a few of the colors you can lean towards this fall:
Oranges and reds (in the rust color family)
Mustard yellow and chartreuse
Navy Cardigan // Green Cardigan // Blue Sweater // Plaid Sweater // Yellow Sweater // Pink Sweater
Chunky, Knit sweaters
The ultimate fall outfit is a pair of leggings, tall boots, and a chunky, knit sweater. All you’re missing is a red Starbucks cup, and you would be the poster child for fall fashion. However, not all sweaters are created equal. I have created a fall 2025 chunky sweater guide for affordable, but great quality sweaters that every closet needs.
