Fashion Trends Autumn/Winter 2026/27: Women's Autumn Fashion

The autumn/winter 2026/27 fashion trends for women focus on layered looks with knitwear, check patterns, leopard print and textured bouclé jackets. They are joined by tall boots, everyday sparkle and warm colours such as chocolate brown and burgundy.

Women's autumn fashion this season feels cosy and considered at the same time: many trends can be combined with pieces that are already in your wardrobe. Here you'll find an overview of the current fashion trends for women and how to wear them day to day.

What are the autumn/winter 2026/27 fashion trends?

A few themes keep appearing in the runway reports and collections for autumn and winter 2026/27:

• Layering: several thin layers instead of one thick piece
• Knitwear: cardigans, jumpers and knitted vests in many versions
• Check: classic check and tartan patterns on jackets, shirts and skirts
• Leopard print: the animal print that is worn like a neutral
• Texture: bouclé, chunky knit and fluffy surfaces
• Shine: glitter and sequins, even during the day with simple basics
• Tall boots: knee-high styles and sturdy boots

The matching colours are covered in detail in the article Trend Colours Autumn/Winter 2026/27: above all brown, burgundy, olive and cream.

Layering and knitwear: the foundation of women's autumn fashion

Layering is often seen in autumn 2026. Instead of a single thick jumper, you combine a light top, a knit layer and a jacket that you open or take off depending on the temperature.

Knitwear plays the leading role. Long cardigans, short knit jackets, cable-knit jumpers and knitted vests over blouses are often seen this season.

Tip: each layer should be slightly wider than the one underneath. That way the layers sit calmly on top of each other.

Check patterns: classic and versatile

Check is one of the patterns seen particularly often in autumn and winter fashion 2026, from large tartans to fine checks. Checked shirt jackets, shirts and pleated skirts add texture to an outfit without looking loud.

Check is easy to combine with plain pieces in a colour that appears in the pattern. You'll find a selection among our checked fashion and pleated skirts.

Leopard print and polka dots: patterns for autumn 2026

Leopard print remains present in autumn/winter 2026/27. Because the pattern is made up of brown and beige tones, it goes well with the warm colours of the season and is often worn like a neutral, for example as trousers with simple knitwear. You'll find styles in our leopard print collection.

Polka dots are the more playful alternative. Dotted blouses, skirts and dresses look autumnal with knitwear and boots. There's a selection in polka dots & dotted fashion.

Bouclé and texture: jackets for the in-between season

Textured surfaces are often seen this season: bouclé with its typical looped look, chunky knit and soft, fluffy fabrics. A bouclé jacket over a simple top and jeans looks autumnal. You'll find styles among our bouclé jackets.

For the time between late summer and winter, lighter jackets that you can wear over knitwear are important. You'll find trench coats, blousons and checked jackets among our transitional jackets.

Everyday sparkle: statement pieces with basics

One trend mentioned in many reports on the season: shine is no longer just for the evening. A sequinned skort with a chunky jumper or a glittering top with jeans looks relaxed rather than festive during the day. The key is that only one piece shines and the rest stays calm. You'll find a selection in glitter & sequins.

Which shoes are on trend for autumn/winter 2026/27?

Tall boots are among the shoe trends of the season, especially knee-high styles with skirts, dresses and skorts with tights. Sturdy boots and ankle boots go with wide-leg trousers and jeans. You'll find styles among our boots.

Women's autumn/winter fashion 2026: how to wear the trends every day

You don't have to wear every trend at once. Often one current piece in an otherwise simple outfit is enough.

• Office: cream knit jumper, wide brown trousers, ankle boots
• Everyday: checked shirt jacket over a basic top, light jeans, knee-high boots
• Weekend: leopard trousers with a chunky cardigan and boots
• Evening: sequinned skort with black knitwear and opaque tights
