Can’t get enough of the preppy outfit equations you’re seeing all over social media ahead of fall (think ruffled socks, barn jackets styled over chic sweaters, and cropped trousers)? Anthropologie is here to make shopping this aesthetic easy with the launch of its bestselling label’s fall 2025 collection. Even better news: Maeve, Anthropologie’s most-searched label that has been shopped by nearly two million people in the past year, is becoming a stand-alone brand with a dedicated storefront opening later this year.

The reason behind Maeve’s viral success, in the form of thousands of on-site hearts and over 10 million TikTok views, is just how well its selections nail the kind of look every style-savvy woman wants these days: something that straddles the line between preppy and warm, accessible and elevated. Most styles are ones you can wear in the office and then repurpose for your weekend pursuits, like the famous Colette Pants that are by far Maeve’s most popular (and are sold in over 219 unique colors and prints, providing endless versatility).

“The brand’s aesthetic blends bold prints, rich color palettes, and exclusive fabrics with timeless silhouettes and modern touches,” Richa Srivastava, Anthropologie’s chief creative director, says. “Maeve is also committed to inclusive design, offering extensive Petite, Plus, Tall, and Adaptive collections to ensure every customer feels seen and celebrated.”

In the business of creating clothing “that’s as vibrant and dynamic as the women who wear it,” per Srivastava, Maeve has extended this ethos to its brand-new fall styles, which range from cropped denim button-downs for styling with tennis skirts to trendy, tassel-bedecked loafers to wide-leg trousers that can match with both white sneakers and your favorite slingback heels. The canine theme is strong in this collection and so is the kind of modern refinement that’s echoed across Maeve’s hero products (case in point: the Bennet Button-Down, which Srivastava describes as “a go-to elevated staple, transitioning effortlessly from day to night,” whose elegance earned it over 39,000 hearts).

Need a new beaded bag to go with all your new Maeve acquisitions? The Printed Beaded Canvas Tote Bag is at your service and caters to all interests, whether you’re into stamp collecting, have a soft spot for ducks, or can’t wait for football season to begin again. Want to honor Fido through something that pairs exceptionally well with corp-core maxi skirts and culottes? It’s time to get acquainted with Maeve’s newest crewneck, boxy-sleeved sweater crafted out of cloud-like cashmere and featuring darling dachshund illustrations.

On TikTok, videos showing off Maeve’s top hits constantly go viral, especially those clips in which content creators talk about — and demonstrate — just how size inclusive its items are, without ever compromising on trendiness. And with the recent endorsement of Maeve’s new era by actress and comedian Chloe Fineman, plus the overall buzz amidst the fashion set that this news sparked, it’s safe to say the label venturing off on its own will all the more firmly secure its place in the zeitgeist. Maeve, after all, masters the balance between contemporaneity and timelessness, meaning the incessant trend cycle will never jeopardize the perennial appeal of its apparel, footwear, and accessories.
