What’s Irving Serving?
The weather’s changing slowly, sneakily and suddenly those linen pants you lived in all summer feel too breezy by 3pm. Fall isn’t just a new season, it’s a whole new mood. It’s about ease, warmth, texture, and feeling a little more grounded (while still looking like you planned your outfit even if you didn’t).
Whether your style is sharp, relaxed, minimal, or a wild mix of all three, this is your guide to transitioning your summer wardrobe into fall without having to start from scratch.
1. The Layering Game: From Lightweight to Just Right
Layering isn’t just about adding clothes — it’s about adding depth and dimension to your outfits.
Women’s Style Notes:
Sundresses to Fall Dresses: Wear your favorite summer dresses with long sleeve knits underneath or layer a structured cardigan over the top. Add tights and knee high boots for warmth.
Crop tops to Layered Looks: Keep your crop tops and tanks but wear them under blazers or longline vests. It adds shape and keeps things temperature appropriate.
Men’s Style Notes:
Camp shirts plus long sleeves: Layer short sleeve button ups over fitted long sleeves or turtlenecks. This keeps your summer shirts relevant while adding a modern fall feel.
Overshirts and chore jackets: These are the transitional piece. Lightweight enough for early fall, structured enough to polish any look.
Gender Neutral/Everyone:
Play with length and silhouette: Longline vests, oversized outerwear, tunic style tops all work across styles and body types.
Convertible layers: Think zip off sleeves, adjustable waistlines, or two in one jackets. Fashion is finally catching up with how real people layer.
2. Fall 2025 Color Palette: Deep, Warm and Unexpected
Summer was about breezy brights and coastal pastels. Now it’s time for grounded, rich hues with some surprising twists.
Core Colors for Fall:
Olive oil green
Warm clay
Deep blueberry
Saffron yellow
Dusty rose
Stone grey
How to Wear Them:
Combine neutrals with rich tones: Pair off white or oatmeal with burnt orange, or black with a pop of saffron.
Try monochrome outfits using different fabrics and finishes in the same color family. Think all blue looks using denim, wool, and silk.
3. Fabric Focus: Bring on the Texture
Fabric changes are key in the seasonal transition. This fall we are seeing an emphasis on cozy, rugged, and elevated materials.
Swap This for That:
Linen to Brushed cotton or corduroy
Light cotton to Midweight wool blends
Jersey knit to Ribbed knit or fleece
Slick rayon to Soft velvet or suede
Don’t underestimate accessories: a chunky knit scarf or a quilted bag can add instant fall vibes to a summer holdover outfit.
4. Footwear That Works for the In Between
The key to transitional shoes? Sturdy but not clunky, with just enough warmth to keep the chill out.
What’s In:
Chunky loafers with socks or tights
Ankle boots in leather, suede, or faux croc
High top sneakers in earth tones or weather treated canvas
Clogs and slip ons with warm socks for that casual but considered energy
If your summer sandals are hard to let go, keep them in play with socks or use them at home as your indoor statement piece.
5. Outerwear: The Real Hero Piece
Fall is outerwear’s time to shine. A well picked jacket can define your look and your comfort.
Must Have Layers for Fall 2025:
Lightweight trench coat – polished and easy to throw over anything
Oversized bomber or varsity jacket – structured, slightly retro, and back in style
Knitwear jackets – zip up cardigans or half zips in bold patterns
Denim jackets with texture – shearling lined, embroidered, or quilted
A quick tip: focus on structure. Slouchy can be cool, but having one or two sharply tailored options will instantly elevate your look.
6. Shop Smart: Transition Without the Waste
You don’t need a full wardrobe reboot every season. Instead:
Re style summer items: Shorts with tights and boots, tank tops under blazers, lightweight skirts with chunky knits.
Tailor or repair: Update old pieces with a simple hem, sleeve adjustment, or a fresh dye job.
Thrift and trade: Seasonal clothing swaps, vintage shops, and resale platforms are goldmines for standout pieces.
Fall is the perfect time to lean into intentional shopping. Choose pieces that will work across months and occasions.
Final Tips from your favorite Mentor Irving
Start with transitional items now: shackets, long sleeve tees, light knits.
Don’t put away all your summer clothes just rotate.
Mix light and heavy fabrics for that in between balance.
Keep one statement coat on standby. You’ll thank yourself later.
Fall 2025 Is About Balance
Fall fashion doesn’t have to be dramatic to be impactful. It’s about being prepared for a temperature shift, but also letting your style shift a little too. It’s the season for reimagining what you already have, building smarter, and layering with intention not bulk.
So what’s Irving serving? Style that makes sense, feels good, and still turns heads. Whether you are keeping it minimal, going bold, or floating somewhere in between, fall 2025 is yours to shape.
