It's no surprise that suede is carrying on into this season of trends. Already a key fabrication for the handbag trends 2025, it's big news for outerwear too. We've noted designers leaning into its bohemian aesthetic, reworking the fabric into everything from cropped bomber jackets to full-length trenches. Its appeal lies in its soft, supple texture and its typically warm tan or brown shades. Although we've spotted the material being reimagined in bold shades, including a lime green front-zipper coat from Hermès.

4. Faux-fur coats

Faux-fur coats are replacing the real thing this season, with cropped, floor-length, and sculptural designs being spotted at major designer runways, including Khaite and Prada's A/W25 collections. Inspired by 70s glamour, designers are showcasing plus faux fur as a sustainable alternative to the real deal. When styling a faux-fur jacket, we'd reccomend letting the outerwear piece take centre stage by making it the focal point.

5. Funnel Neck

Funnel-neck collars are heavily trending this year, mainly for their sleek silhouette, built-in warmth, and elegant aesthetic. Spotted on runways, including the French fashion house Chloé and at one of the best British brands, Stella McCartney's runway, funnel-neck coats exude a quiet luxury feel. For styling, skip scarves and opt for sleek, minimal layers. Try pairing a long funnel-neck coat with wide-leg trousers for maximum impact.

When it comes to investing in a new coat for the cooler season ahead, the smartest approach would be to consider what you already have in your existing wardrobe. Not only should you draw from trending factors like the autumn/winter colour trends 2025, but consider the longer-term and how the piece fits into your existing personal style and how each item can work year to year.
