What will we be wearing this autumn and winter? Discover the autumn-winter 2025/2026 trends in women's fashion

Key fashion trends for autumn-winter 2025/2026

To make it easier for you to put together your wardrobe for the coming autumn and winter, we've put together a rundown of key trends to create fashionable and comfortable looks for everyday and big outings.

Faux fur - style and chic

One of the strongest trends of the coming season will be faux fur, which is back in a big way. These outerwear garments will be a must-have for autumn/winter 2025/2026, with all sorts of interpretations appearing at top brands' shows - from boxy chocolates in short versions to long models. In the coming season, fur will also appear in the form of accessories - scarves or trendy boleros. This trend proves that comfort can go hand in hand with contemporary fashion. In the Stand Studio collection, you will find fashionable fur styles that will keep you warm on cold days.

Boho chic - a romantic tale of autumn

The boho style conquered city streets and seaside resorts in the summer. This autumn it will appear in a new interpretation. We will move seamlessly from light, romantic forms to more expressive forms that we will see in urban spaces. This autumn and winter, boho style will focus on layering - all the frills, delicate lace, draped dresses and airy fabrics will be welcome. Jewellery will play an important role here - massive necklaces, bracelets or earrings. Subtle clearances, embroidered patterns and lace will create a romantic tale of freedom, harmony and the senses in the coming season.

Office core - business style in the cold months

In autumn and winter, the office core will become more intense. As the temperature drops, the need for style that combines sophistication with comfort grows - which is exactly what office core is. It is an aesthetic that exudes professionalism and strength on the one hand, and allows for a touch of casualness and individuality on the other.

Office core is not just a jacket and trousers, but an approach to style. It is a conscious play with proportions, soft fabrics and expressive silhouettes. Oversized suits at Stella McCartney take on a new, feminine dimension - casual but unstructured, elegant but without rigidity.

This aesthetic is all about balance - between strength and delicacy, classic and modern, formality and a touch of casualness. Office core flirts with a masculine wardrobe, but never sacrifices feminine confidence. You will find interesting proposals for autumn in the Ralph Lauren collection.

Trendy colours for autumn/winter 2025/2026 - intense colours for cloudy days

In the coming season, we will be cheering ourselves up for the cold months with colours - and they will be the main protagonists in the autumn-winter story. Saturated colours will be in fashion, but not the obvious ones and certainly not the ones you associate with dopamine dressing. In the autumn/winter season, we are slowing down and calming down a bit. Colours such as purple, green, muted orange or dimmed lime will be in fashion. This palette of characterful colours will appear on coats and suits, but also on accessories such as bags, scarves and hats. A splash of colour on grey days can do wonders, give you positive energy and draw the eye. It is a trend which proves that the autumn/winter season will definitely not be a dull one.

Layering - the more, the merrier

Layering is not just another trend of the season, but a way of finding yourself in an ever-changing world. One of the most interesting signals coming from the catwalks of the biggest fashion houses is precisely the art of building the silhouette layer by layer. It is fashion's answer to insecurity and the need to adapt - clothes cease to be mere decoration, becoming a functional shield and a personal refuge.

Layering is comfort, but also an expression of individuality. A shirt sticking out from underneath a jumper, T-shirts combined with oversize shirts and sleeveless shirts - this is not chaos, but a well thought-out narrative. The styling gains depth, with each layer telling a separate part of the story. It's a manifesto of life on the move, a readiness for changing conditions - weather, emotional, social.

Implicit in the layers is possibility - changing proportions throughout the day, adding texture, playing with colour. It's an invitation to creativity, but also proof that fashion doesn't have to be rigid. It can be soft, adaptive and close to everyday life.

Autumn in muted colours - brown and burgundy in the foreground

For the upcoming autumn-winter season, we are reaching for colours that soothe the senses and build emotional depth into the styling. Brown and burgundy take centre stage, bringing a noble seriousness and melancholic charm to the everyday wardrobe. They are shades that do not shout, but speak - with class, calm and confidence.

Brown has reigned supreme on the fashion radar for quite some time now, and all signs point to it staying with us for longer. Its versatility and timelessness - from caramel to deep chocolate tones - make it perfect for any look. Loose-fitting brown dresses, long wool coats, fur coats, leather boots or over-the-knee boots will all create the perfect base on which to build outfits full of unique style.

Burgundy, on the other hand, is a colour with soul - saturated, elegant, sensual. It is for those who like their style to speak a little more. It looks great on soft knits, leather and satin fabrics, building a “quiet luxury” effect without overdoing it. Burgundy jackets, handbags, trousers, waistcoats as in the collection of the German brand Bogner or long evening gowns - in this colour every item gains depth and uniqueness. It is a colour that catches the eye with its simplicity and sophistication and that does not need publicity to be the centre of attention.

Accessories - practicality first

The new season brings with it practicality in fashion, which we like very much. Accessories are not only to be the icing on the cake, but also a practical part of the styling. We'll be carrying roomy bags so that you can hold not only the essentials for work or the gym, but also for travel. Adidas by Stella McCartney offers a large practical bag in a shade of khaki, which will be the perfect companion for work, the gym or a weekend city break.

If you're looking for something more elegant, in a muted colour palette but still extremely practical, take a look at the Vee Collective range . The brand's bags are made from recycled nylon, making them extremely easy to clean.

Oversize and striking shapes

Oversize cuts and sculptural silhouettes are what the season is all about. These are what we will feel comfortable and secure in. Oversize cuts at the major fashion houses' shows have introduced a completely new interpretation of wearable fashion. Sharp lines and geometric cuts will be like armour in the new season, protecting the female sensibility in a fast-paced world. Oversize does not mean carelessness - on the contrary, it is an artistic manifesto that emphasises feminine strength and self-confidence.

Autumn-winter trends in women's fashion - a summary

Autumn and winter 2025/2026 will not be a time of spectacular trends and new fashion discoveries. It is a time for reflection and decision - what we wear and why. Fashion is a way of expressing ourselves, to emphasise our personality and be a manifesto of our lifestyle. In the coming season, we will wear things that are high quality, well-tailored and that will accompany us in our daily challenges rather than hinder us. Brown and burgundy will wrap us up on colder days, furs and layering will keep us safe, and office core or boho chic will highlight our lifestyle.
