The fw25 ready-to-wear collections from ‘the big four’ cities are set to kick off in New York on February 6, 2025. Looking ahead to the forthcoming season, it is becoming apparent that ‘Cocooning’ will be a key word, with cozy sweater knits and fleece-lined parkas. High necklines and long lengths for dresses and skirts look fresh. After several seasons focused on body-conscious stylings, look for a return to volume in several categories including blouses, pants and skirts. Layering will also feature in both outerwear and dresses. We have not yet seen the end of the ‘quiet luxury’ trend arc and this is reflected in the season’s major color palette of cream, beige, caramel, chocolate and other neutral tones. Here are nine not-to-be-missed key items to look out for.
