Learn how to be bold with the Autumn textures, patterns and colours of this year!

As autumn arrives, so does a fresh wave of fashion. Think luxe textures, bold prints, and rich, warming hues ready to elevate your wardrobe. So if you’re looking to refresh your look, you won’t want to miss these must-have trends.

TEXTURES

Leather is a cold-weather staple, but this season, it is evolving beyond classic black. Rich autumnal hues like burgundy, deep green, and warm chestnut enhance this timeless texture with a refined and sophisticated appeal. Burgundy leather, in particular, stands out as a feminine yet modern choice. Its deep, sultry tone adds an effortlessly polished edge to any look. Whether it’s a statement trench, a sleek bomber jacket, or tapered trousers styled with heels for a night out, leather is a texture that exudes confidence and makes a statement.

While leather adds structure to autumn dressing, suede offers the perfect contrast. It brings softness and an effortless sense of luxury to cooler days.

Suede is a timeless fabric that brings both luxury and versatility to your autumn wardrobe. Its rich texture and warmth make it an essential choice for the cooler months. Incorporating suede into your collection not only enhances your style but also offers an enduring appeal, making it a staple in any capsule wardrobe.

A neutral-toned suede jacket pairs effortlessly with jeans or tailored trousers for a stylish, everyday look, while suede boots or accessories add depth and refinement to any outfit. For a subtle touch of sophistication, suede handbags or belts provide an elegant yet understated finish.

PATTERNS

Leopard print has been turning heads since the 1950s, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. This iconic pattern adds a statement-making flair to any outfit while still feeling surprisingly neutral—perfect for elevating your autumn wardrobe. But we get it, leopard can feel bold! The key is balance.

Let it shine by keeping the rest of your outfit simple, like pairing a sleek black blazer over a leopard print dress or a classic knit with leopard print trousers. If you’re easing in, accessories are your best friend.

A leopard handbag, belt, or shoes can add just the right amount of edge without feeling overpowering. Mixing textures rather than prints is another way to keep your look polished; pair leopard with cosy knits, structured blazers, or leather for a modern feel. Whether you go all in or just add a subtle touch, leopard print is here to take your autumn wardrobe up a notch.

Stripes are a classic pattern that never goes out of style, and this autumn, they’re getting a fresh update with warm earthy tones like camel, chocolate, and rust, alongside playful pops of colour woven into cosy knits.

A striped knit jumper pairs effortlessly under a trench coat or wool blazer for a put-together look, while short-sleeved or sleeveless striped jumpers make great layering pieces as the weather cools. If you’re wearing bold, chunky stripes, keep the rest of your outfit neutral with tailored trousers or denim for balance.

Textured knits, such as ribbed designs, introduce depth and sophistication while subtly nodding towards the current stripe trends, effortlessly elevating even the simplest of outfits. Whether you gravitate toward understated neutral stripes or bold statement pieces, this style is an Autumn wardrobe essential.

COLOURS

Burgundy and chocolate brown are the standout shades of the season, bringing warmth and depth to any autumn wardrobe. Burgundy adds a rich, sophisticated touch which is perfect for making a statement while still feeling timeless. It pairs effortlessly with soft neutrals like khaki, pale pink, and caramel for a balanced, polished look.

Chocolate brown, on the other hand, is a go-to for effortless style. A structured blazer in this shade instantly elevates an outfit, while chocolate-toned boots or accessories add a chic, everyday touch. Whether worn together or separately, these hues are an easy way to refresh your wardrobe this season.

Another colour making a statement this Autumn is green. With shades like olive, forest, and deep emerald bringing an earthy richness to seasonal wardrobes. Its natural, grounding tones make it incredibly versatile, offering a fresh alternative to traditional neutrals. Olive green, in particular, pairs effortlessly with warm browns, beige, and soft greys, making it an easy addition to everyday outfits.

A structured olive blazer adds polish to denim and a basic tee, while a cosy knit in a deep forest green creates a sophisticated yet relaxed look. For those wanting a subtle touch, accessories like a green scarf or handbag can instantly elevate an outfit. Whether worn as a statement piece or a neutral base, green is the perfect way to bring warmth and depth to your wardrobe this season.

Moochi Crinched Jacket Sage Green $529.99

From timeless textures like cashmere and leather to bold patterns like leopard print and stripes, this season’s trends offer the perfect mix of sophistication and statement-making style. With rich hues like burgundy and chocolate adding warmth to your wardrobe, there’s no shortage of ways to embrace autumn fashion. Now it’s time to layer up, mix and match, and make these trends your own!
