As the colder seasons roll in, the world around us undergoes a transformation. The days get shorter and the air gets colder. And as the leaves hit the ground, our wardrobes will also go through a transformation. Summer staples like crop tops and mini skirts get set aside in favour of turtle necks and cosy jackets. Winter fashion has a dual purpose, blending practicality with style to keep us warm while also keeping us chic.

This season’s autumn and winter fashion trends offer an exciting mix of bold, out-of-the-box styles and those timeless classics that never go out of style. The colour palette, as always, is a touch more muted than the warmer seasons, this year focusing on classics like black, white and grey, as well as deep reds and earth tones. The colder weather offers the perfect opportunity for layering, allowing for versatility and unique personal touches which make you stand out even more.

Suit yourself

Still reeling from Spring’s Office Siren trend? Well, the workwear fashion trend for this year's Autumn and Winter is all about playing with gender. The runways at fashion week saw oversized, power silhouettes dominate designers like Schiaparelli and Yves Saint Laurent. However, don’t be afraid to play with the feminine as designers blended the masculine tailoring with corsetry, kitten heels, and more to give that alpha-woman edge.

If you’re ready for your She-E-O moment, check out some of ASOS’s amazing suits and tailoring options. Among our favourites are a grey pinstripe moment in an oversized silhouette combined with loose, wide-leg trousers. ASOS also has a gorgeous blue pinstripe suit with a deconstructed panel, which perfectly blends that iconic masculine suiting with feminine detailing for an even more dramatic effect.

This trend doesn’t just stop at suiting. Go all in on office-wear by combining that dream suit with a crisp white shirt and neck-tie similar to Bella Hadid on the Yves Saint Laurent runway for the perfect gender-bending moment. A cropped corset poplin shirt in white is perfect for playing into this hard trend while also adding some shape.

Release your inner leopard

Calling all the cat-lovers! This Autumn/Winter season is set to be a literal catwalk, with animal print returning to the top of trending charts in a big, big way! While leopard and cheetah print never truly goes out of fashion, big cat print is back at the forefront, gracing the runways of many major designers like Dior and on the backs of many celebrities including Kate Moss and Kendall Jenner. Leopard print, thankfully, pairs super easily with staple Autumn/Winter tones like black, white, and browns.

As it’s one of the season’s biggest trends, you can find leopard print adorning almost every product on the market from tops to pants to bags to shoes. This is ideal for those dipping their toe into the print for the first time, as you can take as big or little a swing as you’d like. You could start off by adding a pop of print to a neutral outfit with something like brown Leopard Faux Fur Mittens from River Island. However, if you’re ready to dive in on the deep end, you could base your entire fit around brown leopard relaxed straight jeans.

Bury me in Burgundy

The weather may be getting colder, but that doesn’t mean your Autumn/Winter wardrobe can’t be red hot. As the leaves go from green to red, your wardrobe is in dire need of some burgundy. This deep red has been a staple trend for the past few seasons, and we can see why. While the typical autumn palette contains a lot of neutral tones, burgundy offers a bolder statement, which can be that pop of colour that brings your outfit to life.

Burgundy can be a touch of colour, or it can take centre stage, like a Burgundy Long Sleeve Mesh Corset Top or Burgundy Vinyl Coated Straight Leg Trousers from New Look. If you’re not sure if burgundy is your colour, why not grab some accessories like a Burgundy Leather-Look Buckle Crossbody Mini Bag to accent your outfit? Burgundy is also the perfect colour for those Christmas looks, so check out some of New Look’s dress options like a Ruched Maxi Dress or Bardot Off Shoulder Midi Dress for the work Christmas party!

Bigger and bolder shoulders

Similar to the suiting trend, structure is all the rage this Autumn and Winter. Many fashion week runways saw playful nods to the 80s with models donning looks boasting those iconic big shoulder pads. This trend is perfectly timed and is definitely something to keep in mind when picking your new wardrobe staples.

ASOS has some amazing structured shirts and tops such as a ribbed shoulder pad sleeveless top in black and a knitted high neck tank. River Island’s Black Slinky Shoulder Pad Top is perfect for this trend and can be dressed up and dressed down all season long. This is the perfect trend that can add a touch of interest and difference when it comes to those timeless basics.
