If there is one thing you should invest in for your autumn wardrobe it is a coat.

For just £45.99, this jacket from Zara is a slightly different take on the trend as it’s a puffa jacket rather than a soft fabric coat.
It’s a great different take on the style, while the jacket is perfect for this transitional time of year.
The scarf is made from the same material as the coat itself, and the triangle shape is the look of the season, making this bang on trend.

AW25 Fashion Trends
Fashion writer, Lauren Goodwin-Grafton, says these are the top 6 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn/winter 2025…
CHOCOLATE BROWN
Rich and decadent, chocolate brown is emerging as the must-have shade of the season. Expect to see it everywhere and prepare to style it head-to-toe for a luxe look. We’re taking our lead from the sumptuous suede tote bags at Miu Miu and oversized leather clutches at Gucci. A faux fur coat in the tasty shade will be your statement buy for the season, inspired by Fendi, Prada, and Balenciaga.
LACE
Delicate yet daring, lace is making a bold comeback this autumn, gracing everything from high-neck blouses to floor-sweeping gowns in moody, romantic hues and brights. Bella Hadid graced the Saint Laurent catwalk in a bold-shouldered blue lace co-ord while Chloe brought boho back (of course) with ethereal nightie-inspired lace dresses. Work it into your wardrobe with denim or tailored separates.
THE SKIRT SUIT
The autumn catwalks featured plenty of tailoring, but this season, Givenchy, Calvin Klein, and Gucci paid homage to the elegant pencil skirt suit – designed with nipped-in waists, bold shoulders, and retro silhouettes. Wear yours with a flouncy blouse and patent pumps or parade your ladylike pencil skirt with a classic white shirt. Chic!
PLAID
The quintessential autumn print is back for fall, and the heritage-core trend makes the perfect foundation for any wardrobe. From classic tartan to muted checks, plaid looks super expensive when worn in rich, earthy tones and classic navy shades. Choose chunky knits, tailored coats, kilt-style skirts, and pair with sturdy boots for a look that’s equal parts country charm and city sophistication.
LEOPARD PRINT
Let’s face it, leopard print never truly goes out of style, and it’s considered a neutral. Proof, well, designers went full throttle for the print. There were statement coats at Versace, bold bags at Fendi and wow-factor wild co-ords at Saint Laurent. It’s up to you how you wear it. Whether you shop for a statement piece that does all the talking or dip your toe in with an accessory, it’s all about animal.
LEATHER
Sleek and versatile leather is another trend stealing the spotlight this season, look to Prada, Moschino and Victoria Beckham for inspiration. You can easily work the trend into your own autumn/ winter wardrobe with a timeless leather jacket, buttery-soft leather blazer, a pair of wide-leg trousers, or a structured midi skirt.
