Another season turns around the bend, and our minds undoubtedly wander to the style forecast for 2025’s autumn months. Whether you’re already unloading your knitwear from storage, or are being dragged into the wet weather season kicking and screamingstaple summer maxi dress defiantly adorned—we’ve collated the key fall fashion trends to streamline your shift through the seasons. And don’t worry, every trend has passed our team’s ‘timeless investment’ test, so these will be pieces you wear for years to come. 

Grey Is the New Black

We’ve relied on its chicness nearly every season since (style) time began, surely it’s only fair we give black a rest? To pick up the slack, grey will be entering the A/W scene in a big way. Whether you opt for a classic tank or sartorial suit trousers, this versatile hue adds a touch of lightness to the darkening autumn days.

Python Print

Past seasons have run wild with animal prints: cheetah, leopard, tiger—if it’s a big cat, you can bet that the style set has taken inspiration. A new motif, however, will be slithering into the autumn style zeitgeist: Python. Go hard or go home with a full outfit showcasing the print, or approach it with more subtlety—a handbag or statement heels to liven up a minimalist look.

Suede

We get it, suede in autumn is nothing groundbreaking, but the trend is reaching new momentum following a summer dominated by boho. The ideal addition for seasonal transitioning (although beware of potentially drizzly days), suede adds not only a textural element to an outfit, but a practical (warm) one to boot. Go classic by investing in outerwear or add touches of the coveted fabric with accessories.

Oversized Slouchy Bags

Consider the era of micro bags truly over (for now). All structure has gone out of the window, and we’re letting everything hang loose—fantastic news for the everyday bag hoarders. To jump on this trend, consider adding a roomy tote to your daily handbag rotation. When dressing for PM, a slouchy clutch will do the trick.

Funnel Neck Jackets

If the jackets aren’t buttoned up to the top this season, we frankly don’t want to know. High and funnel neck outerwear offers not only a refined silhouette but also practical protection from brisk November winds—win-win. Seek out a cropped jacket that will prove an adaptable layering piece through rain, sun or showers.

Polo-Tops

Bringing back the off-duty model look mixed with an air of posh rugby boy, polo tops are the late-summer trend that shows no sign of slowing down as we approach autumn. Cosy, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to dress up, this preppy style wave has our teams’ full seal of approval. Grabbing coffee on the weekend? Throw it on with relaxed-fit jeans and trainers. Out for drinks with girls? Pair your polo with denim bermuda shorts and slingback heels.
