Autumn Winter 2025 - Trend Report

There’s something about the shift from summer to autumn that always catches you off guard. One week it’s sundresses and sandals, the next you’re reaching for your first knit and wondering how the season changed overnight. Autumn has that rare mix of nostalgia and excitement: spiced lattes, cosy shows, and finally unpacking those layered jackets and knits.

As the air turns crisp and summer fades, it’s the perfect excuse to plan your autumn wardrobe. Autumn/Winter 2025 is all about effortless elegance with a twist, think oversized blazers over lace blouses, peplum tops with pencil skirts, and suede or corduroy accents. Layering with chunky belts, soft slouchy bags, and statement jewellery turns each outfit into something polished yet entirely you. 

Chocolate brown is back for another season, and it’s stronger than ever. Think a soft leather blazer over a crisp blouse, a structured handbag, or knee-high boots that feel polished without trying too hard. It’s warm, luxe and endlessly wearable, a neutral that feels anything but basic and instantly elevates your autumn wardrobe.

Jewellery tip: Gold hoops and statement pearls are ideal for pairing with chocolate brown this autumn. At Orelia, these versatile pieces add subtle warmth and polish to your look, whether layered over cosy knits or styled with tailored blazers. Effortless, chic and completely wearable. 

Western styling is back, but not in the cowboy film sense. Autumn 2025 is all about subtle nods: a suede jacket layered over a neutral dress, a corduroy skirt paired with a crisp blouse, or double denim done thoughtfully. It’s about texture and attitude rather than head to toe cowgirl.

Jewellery tip: T-bar pieces and charm bracelets bring a modern, polished edge to these rugged textures. A chunky belt with delicate earrings keeps the look grounded and wearable, perfect for taking a trend from day to night without overthinking it. 

Victorian inspired fashion is making a statement this autumn/winter 2025, with ruffles, sheer panels and delicate lace appliqué appearing on blouses, dresses and even jumpers. These textured details add a tactile elegance to your wardrobe, blending nostalgic charm with modern style.

Stylist tip: Layer pearl necklaces or choose delicate semi-precious stones from our collection to complement the lace. These timeless jewellery pieces enhance the romantic, feminine feel without overwhelming your look, creating an effortlessly polished finish. 

Oversized blazers, padded shoulders and nipped-in waists are giving workwear a new lease of life this season. It’s power dressing with a softer edge—layered over relaxed denim by day or paired with a pencil skirt for evenings out, it feels modern without being too polished.

Jewellery tip: Balance the sharp tailoring with statement gold earrings or a chunky chain. The clean lines of bold jewellery echo the silhouette, keeping the look confident and elevated.
