Zara's great, but Massimo Dutti's autumn drop is full of quietly luxurious high-street gems
Massimo Dutti is reinventing luxury on the high street. These are the autumn styles to shop now
Zara's big sister, Massimo Dutti, has been quietly upping its luxury credentials. Delivering a completely different prospect to the high street, the Spanish retailer is packed with grown-up, dynamic silhouettes, wardrobe staples, and standout styles that will easily become future classics.
Massimo Dutti has always offered polish, but the latest autumn/winter range is a vast selection of cosy knits, sleek leathers and beautifully tailored separates that will take you from AM to PM.
In a fairly muted palette, with pops of red and orange for good measure, it's a very sophisticated delivery that definitely looks and feels designer. The sharp, editorially led imagery is coupled with multiple photographs per garment, making online shopping easier, and shows that the details are important to both brand and consumer. To save you from scrolling for hours (it really is an enormous collection categorised by limited edition and main lines), I have selected the bits worth adding to your autumn outfit ideas.
Barn jackets remain a core autumn/winter fashion trend for 2026, thanks to its nods to heritage styling and this quilted iteration is given a luxe finish with a leather trim.
The best trench coats will stay in your wardrobe for years, as this is a style you can take out year after year. This particular style comes with a removeable hood for added practicality.
Argyle knits are another core sweater trend, and the zip through cardigan design modernises this classic style. The brown and cream palette taps into the autumn/winter fashion colour trends for 2026.
Brooches are back, and this sweet bow design will add a luxe finish to a shirt collar, a hint of femininity to a wool coat, or a festive feel to an elegant wool sweater.
The best cashmere jumpers are always worth the investment. Breathable but cosy, they keep you warm without overheating, and this classic ribbed design will never go out of fashion.
While the autumn/winter handbag trends for 2026 cover a host of styles, I always think a classic, plain leather iteration in a neutral colour with minimal branding will never fail to look chic.
Funnel necks are the shape of the season, and who doesn't want a little bit of extra protection from winter's chill. This 100% wool design is sure to keep you cosy.
Thanks to the Traitor's, country-coded clothing is by far the runaway style winner of the season, and this argyle knit treads the fine balance between trending and timeless.
Leather trousers are big news, but don't discount skirt silhouettes from this trending fabric. The zip front adds a point of difference and a very current finish.
The autumn/winter shoe trends 2026 cover a wealth of styles, but kitten heel boots are up there as one of the most wearable and elegant designs to help you step into the season.
I never really associate Massimo Dutti with dresses, but this mix media design caught my eye. The added white trim delivers a point of difference to other midis, try adding a belt to highlight your waist.
Statement buckles have found themselves back on the fashion map and this design will look great with jeans, cinching in dresses or paired with your winter coat.
Barrel-leg silhouettes remain core to trouser wardrobes, and this neutral pair with pleats is the most current iteration of the ever evolving trend.
Skirts are having a moment and this midi design has plenty of swish. Team with a cosy knit and a pair of knee high boots to take you from AM to PM this winter.
Even the basics feel luxurious here, and this 100% silk funnel neck tee comes in a host of colours, but this bold orange will pair beautifully with other neutrals for a hit of dopamine dressing.
I love a cape, it's such a dramatic piece of outerwear that doesn't compromise on elegance or practicality. In a wool and cashmere blend you can guarantee warmth.
There isn't huge amounts of colour in the collection, but the brand's use of brights is well thought out. This fire engine red, half-zip sweater is the perfect way to perk up jeans.
An investment piece, I honestly think leather jackets and coats are the chicest addition to autumn/winter wardrobes. They age well and make any outfit look put together.
Luxury always comes with a price tag, and I was really impressed to see the quality of fabrics used throughout the collections. Wool, cashmere, silk and leather aren't specials or after thoughts, they're woven throughout, delivering a great feel and breathability.
While trends are clearly important to the retailer, everything felt timeless too, like you could wear it now for style points, but equally pull it our again next autumn and feel just as current. The coats were a particular highlight, especially a hooded trench coat - style and practicality - what's not to love.
A leather fan, I also think it's great to see those autumn/winter investment pieces back on the map. Leather coats, skirts and trousers are a plenty here, alongside affordable leather handbags - that are importantly, devoid of heavy branding, which only add to their fashion currency. With a largely neutral palette, it's clear that Massimo Dutti are after consumers who care about long term investment and style.
