As most people dread the shorter days and cooler temperatures, fashionistas rejoice at being able to layer up their outfits once again. There’s something about autumn fashion that’s so endearing. From the cozy cardigans to the earthy tones, it’s easy to see why autumn is many people’s favourite fashion season. But what’s going to be hot in autumn 2025? From trusted staples to edgy newcomers, here are six fall fashion trends that are not to be missed in autumn 2025.
Knitwear
An autumn staple, it’s great to see knitwear back on trend. Whether you opt for a chunky cardigan to form the base of your outfit or a subtle beanie to accessorise your look, you can’t go wrong with anything knitted this fall.
As the temperature drops, switch out the cardigans for the warmer option of a knitted roll-neck for a timeless yet practical winter look.
Sleeveless
We’re not suggesting you head out in shorts and a vest this autumn, but guys should be aware that sleeveless jackets are slowly becoming cool again, and this is something we should be pretty happy about. Not only does a gilet offer an extra layer to play with in terms of fashion, it’s a practical solution to the awkward months where it’s too warm for a coat and too cool to go jacketless.
Casual Blazer
Get rid of this idea that blazers are reserved for weddings. This fall, we’re expecting to see more and more blazers worn in a casual setting although they can be styled up or down accordingly. In smart casual settings, pair a blazer with matching suit trousers before adding a pair of men’s smart trainers. For an even more casual look, switch out the suit pants for jeans and go a size up in the blazer.
Relaxed Fit Trousers
The skinny jeans era is well and truly over, and just as oversized denim shorts dominated during the summer months, this will continue with relaxed fitting bottoms throughout fall. Whether you opt for cargo pants, jeans or smart trousers, the most on-trend bottoms will be those offering a baggy fit.
Combine with some of the other trends mentioned on this list whether that be a daring blazer or a timeless cardigan.
Earth Tones
If you’re someone who likes to know what colour is on trend during a particular season, you can’t go wrong with earthy tones during autumn. Fill your fall wardrobe with dark browns and greens as a starting point. For those wanting a pop of colour, mustard or burnt orange accessories pair perfectly.
Heavy Textures
There’s more to fashion than styles and colours, and autumn is the perfect time to introduce textured fabrics into your wardrobe. Cable knit cardigans and jumpers work great at this time of year while corduroy trousers are also set for a big season. Don’t overdo it though, too many different textures can be a little overwhelming, so select one textured piece and make that the focal point of your fall fit.
