People Who Never Follow Trends Rely On These 5 Fall Outfits

If you love learning about the latest and greatest fashion trends, we have plenty of content for you at Who What Wear. Might I interest you in a story about the biggest color trends from the spring 2025 runways? How about a celebrity-approved red carpet look? There are plenty more articles where those came from! However, this one’s for the more simplistic dressers out there—the kind of fashion-loving people who prefer to skip trends and rely on classic outfit combinations instead.

1. Sweater + Pencil Skirt

Wearing a sleek, unadorned sweater and a knee-length pencil skirt will never be a bad idea. It’s the kind of outfit that is guaranteed to stand the test of time, no matter what’s currently trending in fashion.

2. Monochrome Outfit

4. Black Pantsuit

This one needs no explanation. Is there anything more classic than a pantsuit? For less formal occasions, I like mixing and matching pieces. For instance, I’ll wear a black blazer with a pair of baggy jeans or black trousers with a simple white T-shirt.

5. Cropped Jacket + Miniskirt

I adore this timeless outfit combo. H&M has a super-cute cropped jacket and matching skirt that I’ll be using to re-create the below outfit.
