Eileen Fisher Fall 2025 Try-On: Cozy Layers and Polished Picks

If you’re new here, a dressing room try-on is when I go into a store to try on the new collection so you can see how things look on a woman who is 5’4″, 145 pounds, and over 60. I have broad shoulders and narrow, straight hips. Eileen Fisher is a size-inclusive brand ranging from XXS-3X, with many sizes in regular and petite.

This long, boiled wool vest is a fun third layer to jazz up many looks this fall…including jeans. It’s very light, but I suspect it will feel cozy as the weather cools off. I’m wearing the Sea Salt, and it comes in 5 other colors, including a stunning Ruby. The calf length adds a dramatic touch, which I just love. It has no closure, but I think it would look stunning belted.

I’m wearing it over this merino crewneck in regenerative wool. It’s responsibly sourced wool that’s soft and drapey. I love that the shorter length means no tucking is necessary. If you’re worried about your tummy showing when you raise your arms, simply wear a thin tank underneath, like I do. This is Sea Salt, and it’s also available in 4 other colors.

I love these washable flex ponte trousers, but as you can see, I am standing on my tippy because they’re so long. I’m thrilled to see so many full-length pants in this collection, but it means I do need the petite option. These have classic trouser styling with a zip front, side pockets, and belt loops. The double-knit fabric feels like a dream on with just the perfect amount of structure and stretch. I’ve ordered the petite :).

Here’s the same long vest in the Alpine color. I’m wearing it over a cotton-blend turtleneck in the same shade…which is a great underlayer to add a bit of warmth when the weather gets clammy. The website describes it as sheer, but it looked opaque in the three colors I saw it in, so I’m not sure why it’s described that way. It’s available in six shades, including Rye for preorder, which I have in my cart.

The Ponte Flex pants are a stretchy pull-on style with a moderately wide leg, on-seam side pockets, and a smooth waistband. I own these in 2 shades from past seasons and love how comfy yet polished they are. These have a 27″ inseam, so they pass for full length on me.

I’ve been buying and wearing these washable stretch crepe pants for over 25 years. They pack and travel beautifully and are in an array of shades to complement every wardrobe. At least one pair goes on every vacation with me, either to wear while traveling or as a workhorse during the trip. They dress up and down and feel as comfy as your jammies. This pair is Rye and would have come home with me, but I own a similar color from years past.

I’m styling them with this funnel neck top made from a Peruvian cotton/Tencel blend. It has a soft ribbed texture in a mid-weight knit that feels incredibly cozy without being too hot because it’s cotton. The dropped shoulder is not overly flattering on my broad shoulders, but it will add nice balance for women with wider hips. I’m wearing Sea Salt, and it also comes in Alpine.

This cotton and recycled cashmere turtleneck almost jumped off the rack into my arms😍It’s the most glorious ruby shade and super soft. It’s fitted through the shoulders and is wider at the hem with a slight trapeze shape. The length makes it perfect over slim pants or leggings…if you still wear those. Are you ladies wearing leggings these days? The sweater comes in 4 shades, and I have to say, the Sea Spray, (soft blue) is a knockout.

I topped it with this short quilted vest to give a nod to the waist and break up the proportions. It’s thin and soft so you can easily layer it over or under jackets. This one is black and it also comes in biscuit or reed…I may need the reed.

The pants are a fabulous boiled wool jersey with a side zipper, back darts, and no pockets, so they’re very smooth around the tummy and hips. These are a gorgeous, rich charcoal color, with a wide leg that drapes nicely. I am standing on my tiptoes and sadly they don’t come in petite in this shade…yet. Eileen calls this the “magic” pant because it instantly elongates. I have to agree, they’re pretty terrific because the wool is soft, not scratchy, and slightly stretchy.

Here are the felted wool jersey pants, which look similar to the charcoal pants above, but these do come in petite with a 28″ inseam. These have the same shape and styling and are just as flattering. They’re also available in two other colors. I’m wearing a Tencel, 3/4 sleeve top in Alpine, which I couldn’t locate on the website. I hate when that happens. If you spot it, please let me know. Sylvia found it! Thank you so much!! It’s the stretch scoop neck jersey top!

Here are the boiled wool jersey wide leg pants that I showed above, this time in biscuit. Can you tell I loved these pants? I’m wearing them with this High Collar Coat in the same shade. The coat has very minimalistic styling with a snap front closure, simple patch pockets, and a belt. This color makes me look like I have the flu, but it’s lovely on people with warm undertones.
