But that doesn’t mean it has to be a depressing time, quite the opposite! With the start of the month and the new school year comes the excitement of returning to everyday life… And it’s a good excuse to update your wardrobe.
To help you enter this new season full of enthusiasm, we’re going to break down the 2025/26 autumn/winter trends that will make you dazzle in the office, after work with your colleagues or wherever you choose. It’s time to prepare the most chic and comfortable looks for your return to work and routine.
Trending colours for autumn 2025/26
If you thought autumn was just for sombre tones, you’re wrong! Autumn 2025 is packed with chromatic surprises that will make you shine. The trending colours for autumn 2025 will not only add a touch of joy to your days, but will also help you to effortlessly switch from your summer to your winter wardrobe without sacrificing style.
Burgundy
Burgundy is the classic wine tone that is making a strong, more sophisticated comeback. This colour is pure elegance and versatility. Ideal for coats, satin midi skirts or even a chunky knit jumper. Pair it with neutral tones like grey or beige for a flawless look during the week, or try adding touches of gold for a more festive look to enjoy on the weekend. It’s the perfect colour for an office look that screams “professional and classy”.
Blue
This autumn will be electrifying. Electric blue, cobalt blue or even the classic navy blue. The blue colour range is one of the most stand-out trends for autumn/winter 2025/26. Why? Because it’s a colour that adds energy and sophistication to any look. Consider a two-piece suit in electric blue for the office that will make a real statement. Or you could apply this trend in the form of accessories or jumpers that will add that touch of modernity you’re looking for.
And if you work from home, you can also get in on this trend with a pair of comfortable winter flip flops in blue, perfect for adding style even on your most relaxed days.
Green
Although the holidays are coming to an end, the connection of colours with nature continues, that’s why greens, from the most military olive green to the deepest moss green, will be your allies for your return to the office. They add calm, sophistication and a touch of effortless chic. Wear these colours in garments such as elegant cargo trousers, silk blouses or trench coats. They are ideal for creating office looks that ooze serenity and good taste, as well as pairing extremely well with brown, beige and cream tones.
What can you expect from fashion for the autumn/winter season?
The trends for autumn/winter 2025/26 promise a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. Classic tailoring is making a comeback, but with contemporary touches to make it more comfortable and adaptable to today’s busy lifestyle. Comfort is still key, but without sacrificing style. A clear influence from the 70s and 90s can also be seen, with innovative materials and more fluid silhouettes. Expect rich fabrics, smart layers and a colour palette that will encourage you to experiment.
How to wear trends with havaianas all year round
If you’re a havaianas fan, you’ve probably been wondering how they could fit into all of this. And although the brand is usually associated with the summer, beach and relaxation, you can also find some essentials for relaxing after work or for an autumn weekend look.
Imagine getting home after a long day at the office with your loafers or boots and slipping on a comfortable pair of havaianas Top Home Fluffy II to relax. Even some of their sandals with wider straps like the havaianas You Trancoso Premium or platform sandals could be the perfect option for those in-between days or for a weekend look where you want to add a casual touch to a midi dress or some wide-legged trousers. The key is to think of them as comfortable and stylish footwear for your leisure time, even in the cooler months!
Trends for autumn/winter 2025/26 for women
The trends for autumn/winter 2025/26 for women focus on versatility and effortless elegance, perfect for your return to the office or for any plan.
Oversized suit
The tailored suit is back, but with looser, more relaxed silhouettes. Think blazers with pronounced shoulder pads and flowy wide-legged trousers. A perfect look to feel empowered and sophisticated. And not only is it incredibly comfortable, it also lets you play with different combinations: pair it with a classic shirt, a fine knit top or even a basic white T-shirt for a more casual-chic look. Neutral tones like charcoal grey, beige or the trending colours we’ve already mentioned will be your best allies.
Quilted textures
This autumn will show us that quilted fabric isn’t just for coats. This season we will see it in garments such as skirts, gilets and even accessories. It adds an interesting touch of volume, gives greater contrast to your looks and, most importantly, provides comfort! Imagine a quilted skirt paired with a knitted jumper or a satin shirt. It’s a way of adding quality and a nod to the trend without sacrificing elegance for going to the office.
The new preppy
The preppy style is back with a more mature and sophisticated twist. It’s no longer the schoolgirl look you have in mind, with short skirts and fitted knit gilets, and instead is all about cable knit jumpers, pleated midi skirts, crisp shirts and loafers. All of this, of course, with a modern touch: maybe an oversized cardigan instead of a fitted one, or a pleated leather skirt. It’s a timeless style that adapts perfectly to the office environment, conveying confidence and professionalism.
Back to work: comfortable, stylish looks for the office
After the holidays, the idea of returning to the office can be hard, but dressing in a boring way is even worse. The trends for autumn/winter 2025/26 make your life easier with looks that prioritise comfort without sacrificing an ounce of style. Opt for soft fabrics like wool or quality knitwear for cooler weather. Consider wide-legged trousers that you can pair with 70s-inspired belts, flowy blouses and slightly oversized blazers. The key is adding layers to adapt to temperature changes and choosing clothing that allows you to move freely. Goodbye to corseted looks!

H3 Platform loafers
Loafers have been a staple for several seasons, but this autumn they’re elevated (literally) with platform soles. They are the perfect option for adding a few centimetres of height without sacrificing comfort. They are ideal for pairing with tailored suits, culotte trousers or midi skirts. They add a sophisticated touch and are one of the most versatile footwear trends for autumn/winter 2025/26 for the office.
Knee high boots with pointed toes
Classic elegance is making a strong comeback with knee high boots that have a pointed toe. Pure sophistication that combines perfectly with midi skirts or dresses that slightly reveal the top of the boot. They’re a timeless investment and a sure-fire choice for more formal work looks or for adding a chic touch to a more casual look.
Urban-style sneakers
But if nothing has seemed comfortable enough for you up to now, you’re in luck, the autumn 2025 trend sneakers are not only staying put, but are also becoming a staple, even for the office. Forget about the sportier models and opt for more minimalist sneakers in neutral tones or on-trend colours for the season (burgundy, olive green, blues) like the havaianas Canvas Roots sneakers. Paired with an oversized suit or dress trousers and a blazer, they’ll give you that modern, casual look that is so in fashion.
