2025 Autumn Trends for Australia

by Fern Rice

Where will I start?
Leopard print, of course! My forever favourite, whether it’s on-trend or not. But this season, it’s everywhere, along with snake print.

Leopard print

The colours for this season

Rich, warm hues are dominating—think autumn leaves.

Burgundy is a standout, while brown is being paired with unexpected shades like mint green, pink, lilac, and powder blue. If you always reach for black on black, why not mix it up with olive green and black or even brown and black for something different?

Not a fan of brown? Different shades of grey work beautifully, especially when teamed with soft yellow, lilac, pink, or powder blue. If you love a bold pop of colour, fiery red and purple will be my go-to this season.

Key Fashion Trends 

  • The Lazy Girl Trend: Perfect for busy mums who need both comfort and style. Think track pants paired with a shirt and a knit as your base. To elevate the look, add a knit vest, faux fur, or a printed tee under a leather bomber jacket.

  • Blazers & Jackets: Structured shoulder pads are back, paired with romantic lacy ruffled blouses for a dramatic touch. Oversized blazers are still in but now belted to create an hourglass shape. Cropped jackets and cropped trench coats with belts are also trending.

  • Denim on Denim: A timeless go-to. When it comes to jeans, there’s a style for everyone—skinny jeans remain strong, high-waisted wide-leg styles are still popular, and the latest trend? Cropped slim-straight jeans with a slight flare, perfect with ankle boots or heels for a dressier look.
  • Turtlenecks & High Necklines: Making a comeback for a sophisticated touch.

Footwear & Accessories to match

  • Footwear trends have something for everyone—mules, loafers, sneakers, ankle boots, knee-high boots, and the latest mid-calf boots, which can be tricky to style but look amazing when done right.
  • Coloured and patterned pantyhose are also making a return, adding personality to your outfit.

Remember, these are just trends—the key is to dress for YOU and your personality. Invest in high-quality basics and bring in trends that truly work for you.
