Autumn has arrived, but it didn’t come alone, instead, it brought with it a trend that has the internet in a frenzy. If you are familiar with the “demure” trend—which you really ought to be by now—it revolves around being reserved and satirically modest. Now, don’t come at me, since I really adore this “very mindful” demure dressing.
This year’s transitional and chilly season is all about embracing modest elegance and clean-chic cuts, as seen on the A/W’24 runways. Even designers like Henry Zankov’s Hold Me Closer was a warm hug in the form of an extravagant collection that I personally adored. What we’re also loving is that classic knits and tweeds haven’t gone out of style, and have somehow morphed into a blend of modern and timeless.
Do you think big collars made the cut like how big sleeves did in 2025? Do you think that ski sweaters made the transition from slopes to streets? Well, keep reading to find these answers, and of course fall outfit ideas you need to stuff your closet with.

Relaxed-Fit Blazers
When it comes to Blazers, “The bigger, the better” has low-key become the motto of the season. These business casual blazers are absolute musts for your desk-to-dinner closet. From pairing with relaxed pants to layering it with a sheath formal dress, it has endless style possibilities.
Tip: Over-oversized blazers can double up as dresses. Pair them with tall boots, and you’ll have yourself a stunning outfit.
Big & Bold Collars
It’s safe to say that the Grandpa-core trend didn’t really go anywhere with large collars still being seen pretty much everywhere. They are holding onto their place in the autumn trend list too, as evidenced by the runway collections of Chanel and Carven. After all, a little fashion drama never did anyone any harm, right? This one from NA-KD is the perfect fall find since the sailor-collar feel at the back will never miss an opportunity to make a statement, and its cosy touch will remind you that hot chocolate weather is quickly approaching. For a brunch-after-boardroom look, pair this sweater with gold earrings and a cute tweed skirt.
Ski Sweaters
Ski sweaters have indeed come down from the slopes to make their way into regular streets. That’s amazing, since why limit something so good to just one activity? Ski sweaters differ from other sweaters in a way that they are made of cashmere or merino wool, which provides warmth without being bulky. They can be your go-to staples if you want to opt for an old money aesthetic. You can also elevate the overall fit by pairing it with a midi skirt or really cool twill pants.
Leopard Prints
As with the previous season and all the others before it, leopard prints are going wild this autumn as well. I want to say it is timeless, because Christian Dior, Versace, Alexander McQueen, and other big names have already got my back. While the classic brown colourway is popular as usual, You can actually experiment a little bit with reds this season. The print stands out on its own, but of course, there is always room to boost its charm. Psst, think black boots and gold hoops!
Leather Trench Coats
When the temperature drops, the first thing I do is gather all of my leather pieces. This time, longline leather trenches have entered the scene and the fashion world is going gaga over them. Anyhow, why wouldn’t it? They are way too cool and classy to pass up. Leather screams corpcore, especially when paired with edgy boots. Moreover, it is also a perfect choice for date nights when accessorised with saucy stockings, like this one from Secrets By ZeroKaata, which is mostly always on sale!
Comfy Cardigans
Cardigans made a comeback last season and they haven’t left which is good news for us folks who are huge fans of anything comfort-chic. The cardigan club is just where you need to be this season if you are all about cosiness that never skips out on style. This one from Marks & Spencer will be your laid-back as well as brunch partner, thanks to its relaxed cut and knitted finish. Pair it with a basic bodycon top and a midi skirt to channel your inner Phoebe Buffay!
Puffer Jackets
No, the fashion set is not ready to pass these jackets just yet, and I completely understand why. As stated before, the bigger the better is in, and that talks about material as well. I love the ones from Twenty Dresses. They are affordable and mostly made of polyester, which might be a tricky option for super-cold temperatures, but you can always layer them with warmer sweaters or your favourite turtleneck dress.
Faux Fur & Fringes
Adding faux fur and fringes to your autumn wardrobe can be super-fun! Since monotone has been here with us all year round, blending these two trends will give a subtle, demure effect. It has been everywhere on the A/W’24 runways and is an amazing option for your dressier days. Louis Vuitton and Christian Siriano, in their collections, introduced us to some bougie ways of carrying furs and fringes. IKI CHIC’s cardigan is a great example of that. It’s a cool head-turner with fringe details on the sleeves that don’t look too much. Wear it with twill pants and dainty pearl studs for a casual-chic look.
