The time has come for you to whip out your knee-high socks and your best headbands because 2025 is going to be a preppy-chic fall. It makes sense since quiet luxury vibes and old money aesthetics are still trending hard.
When you think of preppy, you might think of bright colors and lots of florals, but this fall, we’re channeling a chicer approach. Think Ralph Lauren meets Gossip Girl meets Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
To help you channel your inner Upper East Sider, I hand-picked 14 pieces that will make you look expensive this fall.
You’ll find affordable cashmere sweater vests and chunky cardigans from Quince and vintage-inspired fisherman sweaters that you can pair with a pleated mini skirt.
In terms of shoes, you’ve got plenty of options, like a pair of chunky loafers, classic Mary Jane ballet flats, or tall kitten heel boots, all of which can be styled with some knit knee-high socks. You can top off your look with a trendy barn jacket for extra warmth.
Cozy up in these preppy fall essentials from Abercrombie, Old Navy, Sam Edelman and more.
