I’m Already Embracing Autumn: 7 Stylish Outfit Inspirations I’ve Just Included in My Mood Board
Although it may seem a bit strange to discuss autumn while we're currently experiencing a heatwave, given the UK's unpredictable weather, it's always a good idea to start planning the stylish outfits we'll wear when temperatures eventually drop. I have already begun saving looks I've seen from my favorite Instagram influencers, intending to recreate them for the upcoming autumn season. I must say, they have me eagerly anticipating the cooler days and the seasonal shift. For autumn 2025, fashion enthusiasts are concentrating on creating looks that feel both polished and effortless. Consider pairing oversized chunky knits with trendy barrel-leg trousers or stylish slip skirts with a laid-back car coat. It's all about maintaining a classy and sophisticated appearance while feeling comfortable, something many of us aim for this season.
If you’re also in search of autumn outfit inspiration that embodies a blend of ease and elegance, keep scrolling, as I’ve compiled seven outfit ideas to recreate during the forthcoming autumn.
1. Jumper + Barrel-Leg Trousers + White Accessories
Style Notes: Chocolate brown has won my heart this autumn, and I plan to recreate this combination of a chunky crew-neck jumper and barrel-leg trousers as soon as I can. To break up the brown, add contrasting leather accessories, and you'll be all set.
Shop the Look:
- H&M Fine-Knit Cashmere Jumper: A great price for real cashmere.
- Whistles Brown Belted Cotton Barrel Trouser: I adore the shape of these.
- MANGO Leather Ballet Flats: Simple and easy to style.
- The Row 90's Bag in Leather: A worthwhile investment you won’t regret.
2. Car Coat + Slip Skirt + Strappy Heels
Style Notes: When it’s still a bit early for wool coats, a car coat is perfect for that transitional weather. Elevate this casual look with a sophisticated slip skirt and strappy heels, finishing off with sleek sunglasses for an ‘off-duty model’ aesthetic.
Shop the Look:
- & Other Stories Collared Car Coat: Khaki is making a big comeback this season.
- COS Merino Wool Turtleneck Top: This sells out every year.
- Magda Butrym Leather Belt: A versatile belt is essential for every wardrobe.
- JOSEPH Isaak Silk-Satin Midi Skirt: There’s something incredibly chic about a knee-length skirt.
- Christian Louboutin Loubigirl Nappa Leather Heeled Sandals.
- CELINE Oval-Frame Sunglasses.
3. Trench Coat + Jeans + Ankle Boots
Style Notes: A trench coat is a classic staple for London girls. As Marina shows, it doesn’t take much to style it. A simple white tee, light-wash jeans, and black ankle boots allow this timeless piece to shine.
Shop the Look:
- Burberry Cotton Long Castleford Trench Coat.
- Boden Essential Jersey T-Shirt-White: This serves as a base layer for numerous outfits.
- ARKET Cloud Loose Wide Jeans: We are big fans of these jeans at Who What Wear UK.
- Paris Texas Belle 75 Leather Ankle Boots.
- Demellier London The Paris Bag: Spacious enough for daily essentials.
4. Wool Coat + Knitted Dress + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: A cozy knit dress is perfect for those days when you’re unsure about what to wear. Pair it with a matching coat and knee-high heeled boots to keep the maxi length off the ground.
Shop the Look:
- Róhe Signature Double-Faced Scarf Coat: I predict that scarf coats will be popular this season.
- This look is effortlessly transitionable from day to night.
- These are a best-seller for good reasons.
5. Blazer + Wide-Leg Trousers + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: For an effortlessly polished look, simply throw on a boxy blazer with tailored wide-leg trousers. Add a fitted white T-shirt and leather ballet flats to enhance the outfit’s minimalist vibe.
Shop the Look:
- The Frankie Shop Gelso Oversized Blazer.
- Weekday Slim Fitted T-Shirt: I have this tee in almost every color.
- COS Wide-Leg Cotton Trousers: Ideal for both work and leisure.
- Manolo Blahnik Veralli Leather Ballet Flats: A staple for every season.
6. Striped Jumper + Midi Skirt + Loafers
Style Notes: I’ve been loving skirts this year, and that won’t change for autumn. While I opted for flowy white skirts in summer, I'm now leaning towards deeper shades like charcoal grey to match the season’s mood. Take inspiration from Annabel and style a structured skirt with a striped chunky knit and soft suede accessories.
Shop the Look:
- Topshop Knitted Fluffy Stripe Relaxed Polo: We can’t get enough of the Topshop relaunch.
- Reiss Oversized Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt
