The leaves are really turning now, the days are getting cooler and nightfall gets a little earlier every evening… We’re well into the ‘ber’ months now, and the transition into autumn and then winter is a perfect time to refresh our wardrobes. It’s when we start reaching for cosy knits, boots to cope with puddles and mud, and those all-important layers. Layers are key to make the transition into outfits that not only keep us warm but help us feel polished and put-together.
This season, the fashion ‘fall-cast’ (autumn-cast just doesn't quite work here, so forgive us for going stateside!) is pointing towards rich, earthy tones, tactile fabrics and statement pieces that bring both style and comfort to your everyday dressing. At Etton Taylor, we’ve rounded up the key trends for autumn 2025 and highlighted how they fit seamlessly with our belief in building your own personal, timeless style and clothes that last season after season.
Earthy tones and chocolate browns
One of the strongest trends this autumn is a palette inspired by nature. Think deep browns, warm rusts and soft creams that feel instantly grounding. These shades are easy to wear and pair beautifully with staples already in your wardrobe, especially if you’ve embraced the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic. Whether you’re pulling on a classic jacket or layering with a chunky knit, earthy tones offer understated elegance that never feels overdone. Browse our new in for some gorgeous tops in key earthy tones, like the Maggie Waistcoat and the Julianna Cardigan!
Statement skirts
Midi and maxi skirts are stepping firmly into the spotlight this season, and we’re happy to hear it. Worn with tall boots and a fine knit, they make dressing for the office, a weekend lunch or an evening out effortless and warmer than a shorter style. They’re also versatile enough to be styled up or down and will transition smoothly into the festive season with the right accessories.
Leopard prints endure…
Playful yet classic, we’re thrilled that leopard print has prowled back into fashion and seems to be sticking around. From dresses and blouses to scarves, it’s a way to add instant personality to your outfit. The trick is to keep the rest of your look simple and let the print be the star of the show. At Etton Taylor, we love it because it bridges the gap between trend and timelessness; leopard prints have been reappearing in wardrobes for decades and for good reason. Our Ellie Leopard Print Dress has been a firm favourite all summer, and it’s set to stay in rotation into the autumn and winter too…
Preppy classics with a twist
Think heritage blazers, button-down shirts and rugby knits to keep you toasty and stylish. Preppy style has always been about clean lines and structure, and this season’s versions are softened with vintage-inspired textures, and we think they are the kind of pieces we’ll pull out year after year. Check out the Arlo Rugby Jumper and see if you agree with us!
Evening textures of lace, velvet, silk and cashmere
When autumn moves closer to winter and the festive season, those sumptuous fabrics we adore for evening wear begin to shine. Lace and velvet, silky soft fabrics (like the Kiara Button-Down Top) and cashmere and silk wraps are perfect for dinners, theatre trips and Christmas parties just around the corner. These fabrics have a natural glamour that never goes out of style, and when chosen carefully, they’ll be with you for many seasons to come. In case you’ve missed it, we’ve updated our best-selling wraps to include the most gorgeous pink with recycled silver fox trim…
A thoughtful approach to trends
At Etton Taylor, we don’t believe in chasing every passing fad with fast fashion. Instead, we aim to curate collections that nod to the season’s key looks while giving you something a little bit different to choose from and slotting into your personal style! We want to bring you pieces that can be styled now, but also loved for years, so each garment is chosen for its quality, character and the way it makes you feel when you put it on.
By investing in thoughtfully chosen clothes that last, you’re supporting a slower, more sustainable way of enjoying fashion, and championing the work of small businesses like ours. From gorgeous fabrics and going out tops to soft knitwear, this autumn is all about combining comfort with style and quiet confidence.
