🍂 Autumn/Winter 2025: The Trends Through a Golden Rose Lens

This season, fashion is embracing opulence, structure, and tactile richness. The runways are alive with silhouettes that command attention, fabrics that invite touch, and colours that echo the turning leaves and burnished gold of an English autumn.


At Golden Rose, this isn’t just a seasonal moment — it’s the heart of our design story. Autumnal shades are where we feel most at home: russet, ochre, deep plum, forest green, and molten gold. They’re the colours we instinctively reach for, year after year, because they bring instant warmth, depth, and that touch of quiet drama we love.

1. Leather in Earth’s Deepest Hues

Black leather will always have its place, but this year’s story is told in molten espresso, conker brown, and warm chestnut. The effect is softer, more romantic, yet still powerful.


Golden Rose twist: Imagine a fitted leather pencil skirt with a goldwork-embroidered waistband, the metallic threads catching the low winter light.

Style tip: Pair with a cream cashmere roll-neck for a warm, tonal look.

2. Faux Fur as Armour and Adornment

From cropped jackets to sweeping coats, faux fur is adding both warmth and presence. Designers are using it to create volume and drama.


Golden Rose twist: A cropped faux fur bolero over a silk gown, the lining printed with a swirling autumnal motif — a secret only the wearer knows.

Style tip: Try over a satin slip dress for a luxe-meets-grunge vibe.


3. The Return of the Power Shoulder

Structured coats and jackets with architectural lines are reclaiming the silhouette, echoing the 1980s and mid-century couture.


Golden Rose twist: A sharply tailored coat in deep aubergine wool, shoulders sculpted like a 1950s couture suit, finished with hand-embroidered gold leaf motifs at the cuff.

Style tip: Balance with slim trousers or a pencil skirt.


Fashion-forward designs showcase bold leather accents, elegant layers of fabrics, and intricate floral patterns, highlighting a blend of contemporary style and classic elegance on the runway.

4. Purple’s Reign

From regal amethyst to smoky plum, purple is the jewel tone of the season.


Golden Rose twist: A floor-length gown in silk velvet, the bodice adorned with tonal embroidery and tiny seed beads, creating depth without overwhelming the fabric’s natural lustre.

Style tip: Start with a statement bag or shoes if head-to-toe feels too bold.


5. Heritage Prints, Fearlessly Mixed

Checks, florals, and stripes are layered with joyful abandon — no more rules about clashing.


Golden Rose twist: A fitted plaid skirt paired with a blouse in a swirling floral print, united by a shared palette of russet, gold, and deep green.

Style tip: Keep prints in the same colour family for cohesion.


6. Opulent Officewear

Workwear is no longer about blending in — it’s about quiet authority.


Golden Rose twist: A silk blouse with exaggerated bishop sleeves, tucked into a high-waisted skirt with gold bullion embroidery tracing the seams.

Style tip: Swap your plain white shirt for one with dramatic sleeves or a bow tie neck.
