If there's one person I'll take recommendations from, it's our Market Director, Bobby Schuessler. His personal style and taste are always 10/10, so when I heard he had eyes on the ground at fashion week this year, I began to pester him constantly. I needed to know the outfits he spotted, the fall trends he's endorsing, and which retailer has the exact pieces to shop for this season (it's Nordstrom, by the way). Not only did he give me the links, but he's also put together three outfits to complete my fall style mood board. Trends include items like country-inspired outerwear like barn and trench coats, along with styling notes like wearing cashmere sweaters around your waist and shoulders. These are just a few nuggets of wisdom he provided—keep reading for more.
"Fall 2025 heads to the great outdoors with staples like versatile outerwear and suede separates. This look, featuring a water-resistant country jacket (a key outerwear trend) and of-the-moment straight-leg jeans, is an effortless combo that's functional yet forward. Coordinating suede accessories (cue: that trendy hobo bag) completes the look." — Bobby Schuessler, Market Director
"Knee-high boots and a gorgeous trench coat are staples amongst the fashion crowd, as is a lace-trim skirt this season. Fun fact: This floral Mango skirt is $70, but looks wildly expensive. For a modern styling moment, tie a sweater around the waist over your trench coat. Any style-setter will approve this vibe." — Schuessler
"A modern workwear look starts with a great suit. This relaxed cut is relevant this season, especially combined with the striped shirt's contrasting white details. A tote bag and slingback heels bring even more polish to this ensemble." — Schuessler
