The Autumn Trends Set to Take Over London's Shopping Capital This Season

From whimsical styling to bold colour blocking and exaggerated shapes, meet 2026’s autumn fashion trends and see where to shop them in Central London.

After the great reshuffling of luxury fashion's creative directors, industry trends briefly became trickier to predict, but if we were to take 2026's spring/summer collections as an indicator of a new direction, it seems as though fashion has well and truly returned to maximalism and expression.

This season's style forecast welcomes in plenty of whimsy, inviting fashionistas to dress according to their mood, their personality or just for the moment, and we're here for all of it. Here are the top autumn trends to follow, and where you can shop for them on Regent Street.

What Are the Key Trends this Autumn?

Colour Me Surprised

We’ve seen an extraordinary use of colour this year in unexpected combinations, baffling as they are enticing. Deep, jewelled tones run deep and long in this year’s autumn collections, while the two-toned colour trend sees bold, divisive shades placed confidently together, intending to clash. Forest green and bubblegum pink. Royal blue and burnt orange. This 80’s approach to maximalism speaks to a new age of dressing that's abrasive - and proud.

Some of the easiest ways to introduce an unexpected colour is with an everyday bag (Poléne’s autumn collection is where it’s at) or elevated basics in surprising shades like COS's new seasonal items.

Texture Maxxing

As we approach the festive season, it’s no surprise to see an increase in embellishment and sheen throughout autumn collections - except that glitter, feathers and sequins are no longer reserved for evening fancy dresses. Extravagance is set to creep into the everyday in the form of a shimmery dress over jeans, a pearly military jacket or a feathered head scarf at Sunday brunch.

Don’t fret too much if a bedazzled hoodie isn't your thing. Instead, adding texture to your outfit can be as simple as stacking a couple of TwoJeys necklaces for a multidimensional shine.

Your Coat is a Diva

Since autumn's chillier air means that the world sees your outerwear before they see you, it's safe to say that you are your coat - and your coat wants to be bold, over the top, and frankly, too much.

Burberry’s autumn collection is the perfect example, with outerwear that's outlandish in the best ways. We're also seeing more daring designs collide with classic styles, like the mixed materials and unconventional pieces in KITH's latest drop.

Office Galore

Sartorial styles will always be a staple on every runway, and even more so in the colder months. Tailoring isn’t a new concept to autumn, but this year there’s a revival and celebration of it through an androgynous lens. Power dressing in 2026 means structured lines, slick edges and the sharpest heels. While we’re still seeing oversized silhouettes decorate collections, they’re cinched in with much more precision – cut and styled in ways that feel simultaneously feminine and masculine.

Layers Mean Luxury

Perhaps the most exciting part of autumn fashion is the art of layering. A key point that the runways have started making is that it’s in the details. Whether it’s a maroon blazer over a sage green shirt, or a hot pink jumper with an electric blue camisole peeking out, this season is all about how you artfully combine the pieces in your wardrobe.

Theory is leading the way here, with complementary (or clashing, if you prefer) block colours that work together to form the fabric of an outfit that screams luxury.
