Autumn Trends 2025: Timeless Looks & Elegant Touches

There’s something special about autumn fashion — the cosy layers, earthy tones, and excuse to refresh your wardrobe as the air turns crisp. Autumn 2025 is shaping up to be a beautiful blend of timeless classics and modern twists, where understated elegance takes centre stage. Although it's only August, the shops are already switching out their stock, and these rainy days we've been having have made me look to Autumn.  From chunky knitwear and structured coats to subtle accessories and warm colour palettes, this season is all about embracing effortless sophistication.



One trend I’m particularly loving this year? Pearl jewellery — especially modern, minimal takes that combine classic materials with fresh design. I recently fell in love with a gold and pearl necklace that instantly elevates any outfit. Whether you’re wearing jeans and a trench or a soft knit dress, a delicate pearl piece adds a touch of polished femininity that never feels overdone. 

The Power of Modern Pearls

Pearls are no longer reserved for special occasions or heirlooms passed down through generations. In 2025, designers are reimagining them in sleek, stackable styles and mixed-metal finishes that feel perfect for everyday wear. A simple gold pearl necklace is the ultimate transitional piece — it catches the light beautifully, layers well with other chains, and looks just as at home with a jumper as it does with a silk blouse.

Try  pairing a dainty necklace with a chunky knit, straight-leg trousers, and ankle boots for an effortless look. Add a long wool coat and you’ve nailed the cosy-chic balance that defines this season.


Key Autumn Fashion Trends for 2025

This year's runways and street style have spoken — and here's what’s making waves this season:

1. Structured Outerwear

Oversized blazers and sharply tailored coats are a cornerstone of this season’s aesthetic. Look for classic shades like camel, charcoal, and navy, but don’t be afraid of textured fabrics like boucle or herringbone. I’ve been loving & Other Stories' wool coats — they strike the perfect balance between feminine and androgynous.
 

2. Tonal Layering

Gone are the days of bold contrast. Autumn 2025 is all about tone-on-tone outfits: think varying shades of beige, rust, or olive green layered together. This approach gives your look a luxe, cohesive feel. Bonus tip: play with materials like leather, knit, and satin to add depth even if your colour palette is minimal.
 

3. Chunky Footwear

Whether it’s platform loafers or solid-soled boots, chunky shoes are sticking around — and they’re more wearable than ever. Vagabond Shoemakers has a great range of versatile options that work just as well with wide-leg jeans as with midi skirts and tights.
 

4. Knitted Sets & Co-ords

Comfort meets style with knitted two-pieces in warm neutrals. Ideal for work-from-home days or weekend coffee runs, these sets are the ultimate mix of practicality and polish. Arket has some beautiful ribbed styles in soft, sustainable fabrics — perfect for layering under coats or pairing with longline cardigans.
 

5. Statement Accessories

While clothing remains muted, accessories are where personalities shine. From oversized scarves and leather gloves to eye-catching jewellery, now’s the time to play. I like to balance louder accessories with simpler outfits — a gold and pearl necklace with a monochrome outfit can completely change the mood without overwhelming your look.
 

Styling Tip: Mix Old and New

One of the best things about this year’s trends is how well they complement wardrobe staples. You don’t need to buy everything new — simply update your look with one or two on-trend pieces. Pair last year’s trench with a fresh pair of loafers or update a classic cashmere jumper with new jewellery or a statement bag. Fashion is more sustainable (and more fun) when we blend old favourites with new touches.
