This month we look at 5 trends in women’s fashion for the upcoming autumn/winter season. the main trends to look out for this autumn are vintage leopard, floral prints, english garden aesthetic, volume with cosy, chunky knits and layering and suits, namely with blazers, capes and wide leg trousers.
VINTAGE LEOPARD
Whilst leopard print makes an appearance on catwalks every year, this season has a vintage twist. As well as dresses, skirts and trousers, leopard print accessories are set to be popular this season. We love these leopard print ballerina flats from & Other Stories for £125.00. www.stories.com
FLORAL PRINTS
Unlike the pretty florals of summer, this season florals take on a darker tone. Much like the dress code at this year’s Met Gala, these florals can be worn on dresses as well as autumn/ winter staples such as jackets and coats. Take inspiration from this picture from the Met Gala of American model, Lily Alridge wearing Richard Quinn.
ENGLISH GARDEN AESTHETIC
Heritage fabrics make their comeback this season. Think tweed, tartan, herringbone and flyte patterns. Pair tweed skirts with chunky knits or wear long herringbone coats.
VOLUME
The bigger the better this season as volume is on trend. Cosy up in chunky, voluminous layers: think faux fur, shearling, feathers and chunky yarns. Cosy wrap styles offer a stay at home feel.
SUITS
Forever on trend, this season suiting should be luxurious. Team blazers with wide leg trousers and collared shirts. This trend is set to make for a great evening wear look too. Capes, as seen on the catwalks of Chloe and Bally, is set to be a must-have cover-up for both daytime and evening looks.

LEOPARD PRINT MAXI SKIRT
Leopard print was a prominent feature on the 2024/25 Autumn/Winter catwalks. A leopard print maxi skirt is one way to incorporate this trend. I love maxi skirts as they are versatile and can be styled casually with trainers (I’m currently crushing the Adidas Sambas trend) or worn with heels for a smarter look. If you’re Minted then my recommendation is this Hera Midi Dress at £219.00. If you’re Skinted then this Topshop Satin Maxi Skirt is a steal at £38.00.

TRENDING TRAINERS
Adidas Sambas are definitely having their moment and are a wardrobe staple amongst influencers and fashionistas alike. Colour blocking is set to be a trend for Autumn/Winter and I have found the perfect styles to add a pop of colour to your transitional dressing. If you’re feeling Minted then go for these Adidas Sambas from Footlocker at £89.99, they come in a range of different colours. If you’re Skinted then this pair from Zara are a bargain alternative at £35.99.
