Key Fashion Trends for Fall 2024
Among the many fall 2024 fashion trends mentioned in Who What Wear’s analysis of over 8,000 different looks, four stood out.
1. Vibrant Colors and Fun Fabrics
Despite, or perhaps because of the challenges facing the world at large, we are called to bring our best and brightest selves forward - in this case, literally!
Collections for Fall 2024 will inspire and uplift with bright colors and playful fabrics like feathers, glossy leather, and more.
Of course, at Anthony’s, we’ve embraced bright colors, from vibrant oranges to pastel purples, for some time now.

2. Debutante Dressing
The trend of "debutante dressing" centers around 1950s and '60s fashion, including everything from shift and midi dresses to faux-fur shawls.
Luxe, refined, and retro clothing and accessories define this trend. Think of something a social debutante would wear when walking into the room: an outfit that’s classy and says “I don’t need to beg for your attention."

3. Swaths of Fabric
Large and dramatic fabrics like capes, oversized scarves, and shawls are in for Fall 2024. These pieces evoke glamour and add drama to any outfit. Plus, they’re practical, too!

4. Leopard Print
Leopard print has made a major comeback in recent years, appearing in everything from coats to dresses and even accessories. If you’re a fan of this pattern, then you’re in luck, because it is set to be a dominant trend for fall fashion in 2024, offering a fun and fierce addition to your wardrobe.

Key Fashion Trends for Winter 2025
As Vogue notes, winter 2025 will largely be defined by a juxtaposition of different trends. Here are some of the most noteworthy.
1. Pinstripes
The corporate look of the '90s and early 2000s is back in in a big way. Winter fashion for women in 2025 will include buttoned-up looks with, among other elements, pinstripes.
While this look certainly isn’t for everyone, you can draw from it in a way that makes sense for you, with, for instance, a pinstripe blouse and jeans.

2. Statement Hosiery
Do women still wear pantyhose? Yes, they do! Moreover, statement hosiery in particular is poised to be a winter 2025 fashion trend. Nervous to try the look for yourself? Pairing standout tights with a solid, neutral-colored dress will anchor the outfit.

3. Maroon
Earth tones have always been a popular fashion for the fall season. But crimson, burnt orange, and goldenrod aren’t the only hues making their way into fall clothing trends and trending winter clothes for the 2025 season. Maroon and burgundy are believed to be making a big comeback when it comes to clothing colors (and also lip and nail tints)!

3. Mary Janes
Preppy looks are definitely in for fall and winter 2024-2025. The penny loafer aside, we can’t think of a women’s shoe that better defines this look than the Mary Jane. Whether you pair them with a tennis skirt and blouse or jeans and an oversized button-down, these shoes are as elegant as they are comfortable.
How to Dress Fashionably as a Woman Over 60
What good is being in style if you can’t be comfortable and confident? Not much, we say! To that end, here are six tips for how to dress fashionably and own your look as a woman over 60:
- Prioritize comfort without sacrificing style: Look for pieces that offer both, like the versatile Pull-On Millennium Pant by Zac and Rachel.
- Find the perfect fit: Clothes shouldn't be too baggy or too tight; aim for a balance that flatters your figure.
- Choose quality over quantity: Invest in well-made garments that will stand the test of time and help you avoid the fast-fashion trap.
- Embrace color: It doesn’t have to be maroon, but don't be afraid to shy away from vibrant hues and patterns! They can add a youthful and sophisticated touch.
- Accessorize strategically: If you prefer a more neutral palette, try adding pops of personality with statement jewelry (brooches are very in for fall-winter 2024-2025). Handbags, shoes, and belts are just some other accessories you might choose to add more color to an outfit. And don't forget color coordinated outerwear.
- Be you: Feel free to experiment with different styles but always stay true to yourself.
