What to Wear This Autumn: Top Trends for 2025
As autumn 2025 rolls in, what’s ‘in’? and how can you dress in a way that’s current but still true to your personal style? I always recommend trying to do a moodboard at the start of a season to get a picture of what you really like. Just quickly screenshot anything you see online and save it in folder - it’s a savvy way to make sure you don’t go ‘off-piste” and get dazzled by all the newness in the shops. So what’s hot this autumn?
Vogue spotlights a refreshingly bold, yet effortlessly wearable palette of trends perfect for elevating your work wardrobe this season. From the playful resurgence of frumpy silhouettes (yes frumpy is now cool!) to statement slogan tees, this fall is all about comfort meets confidence, with a distinctly polished edge.
Key fashion trends include classic pencil skirts perfect for the office, relaxed boho styles with flowing fabrics, and wide-leg jeans for a stylish yet comfortable look. Faux fur and leopard prints are back as statement pieces, while belts, especially oversized or layered, add extra detail to outfits. Midi skirts in soft pleats and A-line shapes offer a versatile and ladylike option, and strong silhouettes with structured blazers and coats make a bold impact
To help you navigate the season’s style scene, here’s a suggested checklist of must-have pieces for a versatile and chic autumn work wardrobe:
Autumn Work Wardrobe Essentials:
Wide-leg check trousers: Classic pattern meets modern tailoring for instant style points.
Plain navy or black wide-leg trousers: The perfect neutral base for multiple looks.
Silk blouses: Elegant, luxurious, and easy to dress up or down.
Great flats: Comfortable yet polished shoes to keep you going all day.
A few versatile jackets: Essential for layering and switching up your look quickly.
Long boots: Practical and stylish for colder days and commutes.
A trench coat: A timeless transitional piece that never goes out of style.
A stylish wool coat: Your cold-weather statement piece—because the coat often is your outfit.
A stylish shirt dress: Versatile and chic, pairs beautifully with boots.
A great handbag: The finishing touch to pull your entire look together.
Of course we are not at work ALL the time so I’ve pulled together a shoppable edit of great things I’ve spotted so far in the shops. I’ve focused on really key things like boots, coats and bags as they tend to sell out quickly. I’ve also included a bit of everything else too. View, click and shop my edit below.
