Australian Fashion Week 2025: 3 Trends to Add to Your Wishlist Now
Every May, Australian Fashion Week transforms Sydney into a living moodboard of what we’ll all be wearing next season. But this year’s Fashion Week trends weren’t just about spectacle - they reflected a shift toward thoughtful fashion. Designers leaned into tailoring, tactility, and texture, giving us everything from the return of the Zoot Suit to elevated faux fur and sculptural, sustainable fashion picks that redefine what it means to dress with intention.
At Sortd, we’re here to help you make sense of the fashion noise. We've curated the four standout trends from the runways that are 100% wishlist-worthy. Whether you're shopping now or later, Sortd keeps your faves right where you need them.
The Zoot Suit Revival
Tailoring is back - and it brought friends. The Zoot Suit was a surprise breakout at Australian Fashion Week 2025, reimagined for a modern audience. Picture extra-wide trousers, longline jackets, and sharp details, balanced by a laid-back, oversized ease.
Best in bold neutrals like moss green or slate
Pair with sneakers or heels depending on your mood
A power look with vintage flair and fresh energy

Faux Fur
One of the more unexpected Fashion Week trends? Faux fur for warm weather. The key this season is restraint - fur trims, cropped coats, and textural layering that adds luxury without bulk. Designers like Aje and Mariam Seddiq made a strong case for this tactile trend.
Opt for soft colours: lilac, butter yellow, muted khaki
Go for contrast - wear fur over cotton, mesh or denim
Think accessories too: faux fur bags, cuffs, and collars

Minimalist Style, Refined
Forget minimalism as an aesthetic; minimalist style is now a lifestyle. Long hemlines, clean lines and whisper-light palettes were front and centre at Australian Fashion Week 2025. The mood was serene, structured and supremely wearable.
Opt for tonal dressing — whites, oat, dusty rose, and charcoal
Choose garments with sculptural construction and beautiful fabrics
Accentuate with thoughtful accessories: gold, tortoiseshell, leather
Your minimalist fashion board deserves a dedicated Sortd wishlist — create one for everyday elegance.
