Woman modeling outfit from Talbots 2025 September collection.

Does anyone else get as excited about a new Talbots collection as I do? 🎉 (This is NOT a sponsored post, BTW!) The September 2025 new arrivals just dropped, and let me tell you, they are so good! Why do I love Talbots so much? I feel like the brand really knows how to give us timeless pieces with a fresh, updated twist. I think they do a really beautiful job translating the latest trends for women over 50. Oh, and did I mention? Talbots has everything sitewide at 25% off right now!

I bought this outfit!

Charismatic Cheetah Scallop Trim Crewneck Lightweight Sweatshirt | Flare Leg Stretch Corduroy Pants | Gola Mark Cox Gold Trim Tennis Sneakers | Entangled Hoop Earrings

Whether you’re easing into fall temps or just ready for a little wardrobe refresh, I think you’ll love this collection! It’s filled with cozy layers, rich autumn hues, and polished classics you’ll reach for year after year. As you may know, I have a great relationship with the stylists at my local Talbots (shoutout Preston Oaks Store girls!). Every month, they’re kind enough to invite me in to preview the new collection even before they put it on the store. Usually I just make an Instagram Reel, but to get it all in, I have to speed it up royally, and it can be hard to really spot the good stuff.

Trends to Love in the September Collection

When I try on a new Talbots collection, I always look for those stand-out themes that tie it all together. This month, I spotted some clear trends that not only feel fresh and current, but also super wearable for us in this stage of life. These are the kinds of pieces that will slip right into your wardrobe, mix with what you already own, and give you that instant “I’ve got this” confidence boost when you walk out the door. Here are the highlights I think you’ll love most…

September is that in-between season, and I have followers from all over the nation (actually the world – which blows me away!). Depending on where you live, your fall temps vary! My Texas girls are warm until October, so they want lightweight fabrics in darker colors. Meanwhile, lots of our other friends start feeling temperatures trending down as soon as late August, so they’re all about fabulous fall layering pieces.

1. Layer-Ready Pieces

LEFT: Textured Coatigan (Hits below hip for a flattering line and also available in “Toasted Coconut“. Click through to see a close up of the nubby texture.) | Slim Leg City Twill Pants | Ribbon & Tassels Silk Square Scarf | Bateau Neck Tank Top | Madison Ballet Flats | Twisted Links Layered Necklace | Entangled Hoop Earrings

RIGHT: Satin Maxi Skirt (Sorry about the blurry photo. Click through HERE. I bought this!) | Soft Cable Knit Crewneck Sweater | Vanessa Cap Toe Suede Block Heel Pumps | Twisted Links Layered Necklace | Entangled Hoop Earrings

Thankfully, this year Talbots nailed it with lightweight sweaters, denim jackets, and chic blazers. These are the pieces you can all wear now and layer later as the temperatures dip where you live.

2. Rich, Autumnal Colors

Think caramel, camel, and deep fall tones like burgundy and olive. These shades are flattering on just about everyone and instantly make your outfit feel pulled-together and seasonal. These shades are basically the pumpkin spice latte of your wardrobe—warm, rich, and so right for the season.

3. Playful Prints with a Heritage Twist

LEFT: Soft Satin Charmeuse Shirt | Relaxed Trouser Jeans (Note the luxe horsebit pocket accent!) | Madison Ballet Flats | Twisted Links Layered Necklace | Entangled Hoop Earrings

RIGHT: Modern Poplin Shirtdress – Leopard | Brittany Knit Sneakers (So stretchy & comfy.) | Entangled Hoop Earrings

This season, Talbots is giving us all the London vibes, and I am here for it! 🐎 Think classic equestrian prints, and Ralph Lauren-esque touches that whisper “old money chic” in the very best way. The whole collection has that polished, timeless feel we love—while still keeping it fun and easy to wear. And yes, leopard is still in the mix (because Talbots knows us so well!). Look for traditional leopard, but also for it to show up in subtle, classy ways that make it feel totally modern. (Check out THIS v-neck sweater and THIS quilted vest! Leopard, but make it modern!)

4. On-Trend Accessories

Sometimes the easiest way to freshen up your closet is with the right accessory—and Talbots nailed it this season. From chic handbags to silk scarves (SO in this year!) and fun brooches to statement belts, these little extras add polish and personality to anything you’re wearing. They’re the finishing touches that make you feel like your outfit is done.

5. Cozy Textures

LEFT: Lace Trim Poplin Top | Autumn Wash Straight Ankle Cuff Embroidered Jeans | Croc Embossed Madison Ballet Flats | Woven Leather Crossbody Bag | Entangled Hoop Earrings | Entangled Layered Cuff

RIGHT: Ruffle Neck Henley Pullover (The loose knit texture on this sweater is yummy! It’s not see through! I was wearing a nude bra.) | Slim Wide Leg Ankle Pants (I don’t recommend these, although I love the style! They’re not lined and they were so scratchy!) | Tapered Shoulder Bag (This is THE style of the season!) | Elise Sunglasses (Full UV protection and so chic! Several color options.) | Entangled Hoop Earrings

Fall just begs for layers you can use when you need and shrug off when the temperature warms up. This collection delivers with soft crochet knit shells for layering, sweater vests, all the way up to luxe cashmere wraps. These are the kind of pieces you’ll want to reach for on crisp mornings—and the ones that make you feel cozy but still pulled-together all season long.

Here’s What I Bought:

Talbots September 2025 new arrivals are the perfect mix of timeless and on-trend. From rich colors and heritage prints to cozy textures and chic accessories, this collection is all about pieces you’ll actually wear—and love. 💃 Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe with one new staple or treating yourself to a full fall haul, these styles are designed to make you feel confident, polished, and ready for the season ahead.

And here’s the best part—as I mentioned earlier, Talbots has everything sitewide at 25% off right now.

  1. I love that dog crew neck shirt! Question… is jewelry going to be petite and delicate or bold and chunky?
    Thank you for doing the Lord’s work and helping us 50+ figure out how to style ourselves! 🙂
