Autumn is one of our favourite seasons for women’s fashion. From statement coats to cosy knits and chic accessories, all in a palette of rich seasonal colours, the styling possibilities are endless.

However, putting all of these pieces together can be a challenge, especially if you want your autumn outfits to stand out from the crowd. 

If you’re feeling a little lost, you’re in the right place! Our new AW26 collection stars a whole range of distinct looks that’ll have you looking cosy, stylish, and entirely unique, all season long.

Using some of our favourite looks, this guide will show you 5 ways to dress for autumn, so you can start creating your own cold-weather outfits.

If you love to spend your autumn taking walks in the countryside and admiring the falling leaves, what better way to welcome the new season than by embracing country fashion?

Inspired by English heritage and old money style, this distinct autumn look combines women’s tailoring, cosy cable knit jumpers, and vintage tea dresses, complete with heritage checks, ditsy florals, and earthy autumnal tones.

A totally timeless aesthetic, Country Calling is all about durable materials, refined silhouettes, and subtle details that add a hint of luxury to every ensemble.

First, choose a vintage-style blouse as your base. Our blouses are full of elegant details, like floral cut outs, ruffles, and lace trims. Then, add a knitted cardigan over the top, in a deep shade like green or burgundy. 

Denim jeans are a cornerstone of heritage styling, and they’re a great option for a casual weekend look. Alternatively, check skirts make a fabulous choice for a more feminine twist. 

A tweed jacket is the ultimate way to tie your heritage outfit together, bringing a sophisticated, tailored touch. Leather boots are a must when it comes to countryside footwear, and you can pair them with a crossbody bag to complete the whole ensemble.

This is just one unique way to wear our Country Calling collection. Visit our old money fashion guide to discover even more heritage style ideas. 

 If you’ve spent your summer hopping from one music festival to the next, and you want to bring that free-spirited energy into your wardrobe, our Freedom Rocks collection is the perfect style for you. 

This autumn aesthetic brings flowing fabrics, eclectic layers, and luxurious details together for a glamorous take on 70s boho fashion. Seasonal hues of brown and burgundy are elevated with metallic tones, cool blues, and rich shades of pink.

Start with a pair of flared trousers. We recommend choosing moleskin fabric as its smooth, velvety texture sits perfectly in a modern boho wardrobe, and you can get these trousers in a range of colours for a nod to the vibrant, colourful side of festival fashion.

You’ll want to pair your bottoms with a lightweight top, like a vest, camisole, or jersey t-shirt. If you’ve picked a bright colour for your trousers, let them take the spotlight by choosing a neutral coloured top. Your top sets the stage for your layers to shine. So, keep things simple and look for subtle details, like lace trims and ruffles, that add personality without overwhelming the look.

Your layers are where you can let your style run wild. Love the western side of boho style? A suede jacket, complete with fringe and studs, is the ultimate way to layer your look. Or add a touch of glam rock with a star-studded black leather jacket. 

Wear our Freedom Rocks collection this autumn and be prepared to steal the show every single time.

For those who take a relaxed, effortless approach to autumn styling, you’ll find inspiration in our Easy Like Sunday collection. 

Designed with brisk mornings and breezy woodland walks in mind, the chunky knitwear and quilted outerwear of this collection will keep you cosy and comfortable, wherever the day may lead.

From embroidered jumpers, perfect for pairing with your favourite jeans, to graphic tees that add instant personality to any outfit, it’s a fun, charming, and effortless way to dress for that unpredictable transitional weather.

What we love most about this look is that it’s so easy to style. For those laidback afternoons spent in cosy pubs, and evenings curling up with a good book, you can simply pair your denim jeans with a fairisle jumper for a comfy autumn outfit that’s full of country charm.

For a more elegant approach, you can wear your jumper with a slip skirt, then add some mary jane shoes and a matching handbag. 

Midnight anthem is a clothing collection designed for women with a fearless sense of style. Inspired by punk rock fashion and the rock music scene, the tartan dresses, studded leather jackets, and chunky footwear of this style fit beautifully into the autumnal aesthetic.

Influenced by the rebellious designs of Vivienne Westwood, Midnight Anthem blends soft, feminine silhouettes with worn textures and grunge details, like mesh, and animal prints, and studs. It’s the perfect style if you’re looking for a totally distinct way to dress for autumn this year.

One of our favourite ways to wear this look is to pair a flowing maxi dress with a leather jacket. The perfect blend of pretty and punk, it’s an outfit that lets you embrace all sides of your personality – soft and strong, sweet and defiant. A pillar of rocker chick styling, a red dress is guaranteed to make an impact. Go classic with a Vivienne-esque check pattern, or lean into your softer side with a ditsy floral print. 

Your leather jacket will bring all the attitude. For the full Midnight Anthem look, opt for a classic black biker design. You can even go for an oversized shape for a retro “borrowed-from-the-boys” vibe. 

A punk rock look is never finished without a pair of leather boots. A lace up design with chunky soles is a classic choice, you can even swap in some coloured laces to make it your own.

For those whose style is influenced by the unhurried atmosphere of cafe culture, blending casual comfort with individual street style, use our Pretty Tough collection as inspiration for your autumn outfits.

This unique autumn style is made up of velvet fabrics, lace details, and soft tailoring, styled with worn leather, military-inspired outerwear, and vintage accessories. It’s the perfect blend of delicate femininity and gothic romance. 

One way to rock the Pretty Tough style is to start with a statement midi skirt. We recommend choosing a sheer fabric, like mesh, as it’ll bring both edge and elegance to the look. Opaque tights are a great way to maintain that tough aesthetic, whilst keeping cosy.

Transformative teal is the colour of the season, and its rich yet vibrant tone makes it a terrific choice for this edgy autumn outfit.

This season is all about easy layering, so style your skirt with a tucked in t-shirt. Black is a great option as it’ll help your skirt stand out whilst maintaining that Pretty Tough attitude. 

Refine your ensemble with a tailored military jacket, complete with embossed buttons for an authentic touch, then finish it off with a black leather handbag and some knee-high boots to match.

Whichever distinct style feels right for you, autumn is the perfect time to embrace change and experiment with new aesthetics. Ready to build your perfect autumn wardrobe? Explore the full Joe Browns AW26 collection today.
