Veronica Beard | New York Fashion Week AW25

This season Veronica Beard gravitated toward the alluring “sexy yet nonchalant; undone yet polished” style of the Parisians. Drawing inspiration from overtly referenced iconic French women like Camille Rowe and François Hardy. Glitzy nights out, alongside the quintessential rockstar aesthetic could be witnessed throughout the Fall 2025 collection.
Layering was at the core of this series of garments. Airy chiffons beneath outerwear complemented namesakes like The Dickey. Creating compelling silhouettes, which could be envisioned with the likes of sleek leather, corduroy, and denim. Veronica Beard focused on juxtaposition this season - plunging necklines, lace, and ruffles were contrasted against sophisticated menswear silhouettes.

Vests are built into the brand’s DNA. For Fall 2025 they reinterpreted one of their signature looks to feature an utilitarian approach with cargo pocket detailing. Unpopular opinions aside, Veronica Beard has commandeered the controversial skinny jean trend. Designs featuring leg-hugging denim were seen tucked into knee-high boots. They also leaned into current styles with the inclusion of the new “it girl” favorite outerwear piece—a barn coat.
The pallete for Fall 2025 featured an array of vintage paisleys and moody florals with neutral shades of brown, army green, and sandy suede throughout. Though I’d argue oxblood tanned leather jackets stole the show alongside, standout pony hair cheetah overcoats.
Evening wear was not lost on this season’s offerings. Veronica Beard included striking separates, sequins, and delicately beaded skirts with oversized brushed cashmere. Silky floor-length gowns, appeared alongside matching navy caplets. Each ideal for a dazzling night out on the Left Bank in Paris. In the event you can’t make it over the Atlantic, some bitchy cocktail lounge in the Upper West Side would suffice instead.
Accessories for Fall 2025 embodied an “eclectic and bohemian spirit”. Box and scrunch bags became highlights, featuring cabochon stones. Suede bags galore, some which included a reification of 2010’s popularized fringe detailing. Veronica Beard’s signature Dash bags were adorned with accessories like multi-colored chords, chains, likely presenting a grown up take on the “bag charms trend”… Not to mention the patterned coin purses! Footwear this season included ‘70s style clogs, suede birkenstocks, and ballet flats with chunky metal work detailing alongside cabochon stone adornments.
If you're looking for that elusive je ne sais quoi, Veronica Beard’s Fall 2025 collection holds the key to achieving the effortlessly chic Parisian aesthetic.
