As we step into the autumn and winter months, it’s time to explore the trends that will dominate the season. While previous posts have covered denim and shoe trends, this year’s focus shifts toward how items and colors are combined to create refreshed looks. The influence of the ‘90s is strong, particularly from the late ‘90s, but expect to see elements from the ‘70s and ‘80s as well.
Feel free to mix and match from this buffet of trends—almost anything goes! Wear what makes you feel good. Here are the top trends to watch for:
- All Fits
Fluid and oversized fits continue, but tailored bodycon pieces are also making a comeback. You have the freedom to mix different fits in one outfit for added interest. - Grey, Black, Tan, Chocolate
Grey is the neutral of the season, with black leading the way. Tan is emerging strongly, especially in casual wear, along with warm and cool chocolate shades. - Greens
From soft sages to vibrant emeralds, all shades of green are in style this season. Expect to see a variety of greens making an appearance. - Deep Reds
Shades like cherry, burgundy, and crimson are trending. Mixing different reds in one outfit is a bold statement. - Pinks
Soft blush to bright fuchsia—every shade of pink is in play, allowing for playful combinations. - Big Pants and Big Skirts
Both casual and dressy styles are embracing volume. Think wide-leg pants and skirts that move beautifully, with various lengths and styles. - Knitted Jackets
These aren’t your typical sweater coats. Look for chic blazers and puffers made from knitted fabrics—perfect for mild winters. - Polo and Johnny Collars
These collar styles are gaining momentum, appearing in various fits and lengths across knitwear. - Relaxed Glamour and Elevated Everyday
Combine glam pieces with casual items to create chic looks that feel comfortable yet stylish. - Leopard, Cheetah, and Iconic Patterns

Wrap tops and dresses, along with criss-cross detailing, are trending for a feminine touch. - Colour Clashes and Tonal Remixes
Embrace bold color combinations or opt for tonal outfits—both styles are trendy. - Tantalizing Textures
Layering various textures like tweed, leather, and velvet adds depth and interest to outfits. - Metallics
Gold, silver, and bronze are in vogue, from clothing to accessories. They add a glamorous touch to any look. - Pattern Mixing
Mixing different patterns is current, whether it’s variations of the same print or bold contrasts. - Big Shawls and Chunky Scarves
These statement pieces are perfect for layering and add warmth to any outfit. - High Necklines, Funnel Necks, Half-Zips

These classic styles remain versatile and stylish, pairing well with various outfits. - Puffers
Puffers continue to be fashionable across different lengths and styles, providing warmth without sacrificing style.
In the US, animal prints and various shades of green are already making waves this season. With knitted jackets, chocolate, grey, metallics, and bold colors, there’s something for everyone.
I personally love most of these trends, especially bright greens, pinks, reds, and classic patterns. How about you? Which trends resonate with your style this season?
