Welcome to A Holistic Dose! In this week’s episode, Tiffany and Jeanette dive into the biggest Fall 2025 fashion trends for women 40 and up — from polka dots and power suits to cozy quilted jackets and Western-inspired fringe. Get ready to rediscover timeless styles that are making a modern comeback and learn how to make them your own this season.

• Power suits and shoulder pads: What’s trending (and what’s too much)
• Ponchos, boleros, and fringe as statement layering pieces
• The most popular fall colors — from chocolate brown to burgundy and sage green
• How cropped trenches, plaid, and lace are redefining fall silhouettes
• The return of animal prints, especially cheetah and (yes) cow print
• The latest in footwear trends — sneakerinas, clogs, foldover boots, and Western booties
• The comeback of Coach bags, JW PEI, and Longchamp totes
• Fun accessories: from shoe charms to funnel-neck jackets
