Autumn/Winter 2025/26 Trends: What You’ll Want to Wear This Year

Autumn/Winter 2025/26 arrives with bold, unexpected and practical proposals.

 

1. Oversized Tailoring

Coats, blazers and wide-leg trousers arrive to provide comfort and attitude. Oversized continues to dominate, but now with asymmetrical cuts or exaggerated details on the shoulders.

Where to find it: Massimo Dutti, Zara, Mango.

 

2. Striking Prints

Animal prints and bold graphic patterns invade everything from coats to skirts and dresses. This autumn/winter, the rule is to be bold without fear.

Where to find it: Salsa, C&A, Stradivarius.

 

3. Volume and Layers

Bulky pieces remain, but now combined in contrasting layers: short coats over long dresses, or oversized knitwear over fitted trousers.

Where to find them: Pull & Bear, Lefties, Springfield.

 

4. Leather and Vinyl

Leather (real or synthetic) is back with a vengeance. Blazers, trousers and skirts appear in dark or even metallic shades, giving the look a rocker and urban touch.

Where to find it: Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti.

 

5. Statement colours

In addition to classic earth tones, shades such as deep purple, emerald green, burnt orange and hot pink will dominate. The focus is on unexpected combinations.

Where to find them: Bimba y Lola, Parfois, Stradivarius.

 

6. Multifunctional Pieces

Clothes that work for multiple occasions: blazers that turn into waistcoats, dresses that can be adjusted, and reversible coats. Practicality is trending.

Where to find them: Mango, C&A, Massimo Dutti.
