Fashion news, insights and events website, TheIndustry.fashion has revealed 5 autumn fashion trends. 

Brown and Seventies suede

• Pantone’s colour of the year ‘mocha mousse’ is a leading trend, alongside it is brown’s best partner in crime: suede.
• While last year saw these pieces thrive within the trend of boho chic, this season, designers have taken a slightly edgier, Seventies approach.

Capes

• The return of the cape arrives redefined - sleek, structured, and undeniably sophisticated.
• This season, outerwear transcends its traditional role as a functional layer and emerges as the focal point of the wardrobe.
• Echoing the evolution of statement jewellery, coats and jackets now embrace sculptural silhouettes and architectural tailoring, making them key players in both styling and retail positioning.

Sculptural belts

• This season, accessories are not merely complementary - they're foundational.
• Belts, in particular, are emerging as pivotal elements in AW25 styling, mirroring the architectural direction seen in outerwear by becoming central to silhouette definition and proportion play.

Maxi skirts

• Maxi skirts are leading the way this season.
• Paired with cable knits, tartan and leather accents for edge – this trend evokes a Scottish highlands style.

Boots and brogues

• The search for the ultimate autumn boot is potentially never ending, but this season it’s not just boots that are stealing the show for the most versatile autumn footwear.
• Brogues and Oxfords are back in style as the trending shoe of the season.
