Fall has just begun, but fashion insiders are already tapping into style for the new season. Well-heeled insiders with enviable wardrobes are already setting the tone for style this fall, including some of the hottest luxury It buys of the year. Just-in arrivals for fall are dropping in stores, including many of the coveted pieces we first spotted on the fall/winter 2025 runways. Pieces including Prada's antiqued pumps, finished with bows and broken-in leather, first debuted at Milan Fashion Week earlier this year and are already a favorite amongst the fashion set.

Fashion month also just wrapped up for the spring/summer 2026 season, and we're already beginning to see its impact on how people are getting dressed, including a dose of fresh inspiration from the runways and the street style scene alike. Though we expect them to pick up even more next year, printed satin scarves are a piece that early adopters are wearing in directional ways. We’re also placing bets on more insider buys destined to land in the wardrobes of fashion’s coolest insiders. Ahead, see the trends set to define style for fall 2025.
