We are in the heart of autumn— is your wardrobe ready to rock the fashion scene yet?
If not, no need to worry! We’ve done our research to bring you the ultimate trendy fashion styles that are hot this season.
Yes, fashion isn’t always about trends, but let’s face it—trends keep fashion fresh! They also play a significant role in what’s available on the racks and shelves each season.
However, there’s no rule that says you can’t add your own flair to current fashion trends! After all, autumn is all about layers, so there’s plenty of room to experiment with different textures and patterns, oversized versus fitted pieces—the options are endless.
The Autumn Colour Palette
The beauty of autumn lies in the stunning colour palette that nature paints across the earth during this time.
As autumn bids farewell to various flora and fauna, it prepares nature for its long winter slumber. But in the process, we are treated to some of the most breathtaking sights—along with experiences that engage all five senses.
The vibrant, jewel-toned leaves drifting from trees are truly a sight to marvel at. From rich reds to earthy browns and warm oranges, cities become canvases of colour, exuding a sense of comfort and nostalgia.
Seasonal foods, too, are something to look forward to, bringing cosy flavours and inviting aromas. Pumpkin, cinnamon, hearty soups, and slow-cooked stews—all of these remind us of crisp evenings indoors, wrapped in a soft blanket, perhaps enjoying a film.
Autumn is about embracing the unique beauty this season brings, and we believe your wardrobe should reflect that too! With Rockport, comfort never has to be compromised—while stylish looks are always guaranteed.
Trendy Autumn Fashion Paired with Rockport
1. Argyle Patterns
This classic pattern, made up of overlapping diamonds, takes its name from the 17th-century tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll in western Scotland. Over time, its influence spread from Scotland to the UK and eventually to the US.
Today, argyle is worn by people from all walks of life, exuding a sense of preppy sophistication. Traditionally seen in muted, academic tones like deep browns and navy, modern variations have introduced brighter, bolder hues that make a statement.
Here’s how we recommend styling an argyle sweater vest: Layer it over a crisp, long-sleeve button-up shirt, then pair it with pleated trousers and a stylish loafer—like our Jensen loafers—for a polished autumn look.
2. Cable Knit Sweaters
Cable knit sweaters are a popular choice for cooler temperatures. Often crafted from merino wool, cashmere, or cotton, these sweaters practically scream autumn!
The intricate woven detailing is subtle, yet it adds an undeniable touch of elegance to any look.
Here’s how we would style it: Pair a neutral-toned cable knit sweater with light-wash, straight-leg, or relaxed-fit jeans. To keep this look simple and clean, we recommend our Garett Plain Toe oxfords —a sleek design that transitions effortlessly from work to after-hours.
3. Wool Flannel Shirts
The wool flannel shirt has evolved in countless ways, yet this classic, lightweight outer layer remains a staple every season.
From soft, neutral tones to darker, grunge-inspired hues, we love how this versatile patterned shirt can create so many distinct looks! And let’s not forget—autumn is all about layering.
There are endless ways to style this piece, but this season, the grunge flannel is making a strong comeback. Defined by dark green and black or purple and grey colour combinations, this trend brings an edgier appeal to your wardrobe.
How to Style It: Choose a dark-wash flannel shirt and pair it with black or charcoal distressed jeans. Layer a simple black t-shirt underneath, or opt for a black polo neck for colder weather. Add a matching beanie for extra edge. Finally, complete the look with our black Tristen sneakers—and you’re good to go!
4. Leather Jackets
Time and time again, people turn to leather statement pieces because they offer a refined yet timeless look.
This fabric is best known for its durability and classic appeal. While the term "leather jacket" is often associated with the biker fashion aesthetic, there’s much more to it than that.
When we recommend a leather jacket as a statement piece for autumn, we’re thinking of earthy brown tones that create a completely different vibe! Instead of edgy grunge, this colour exudes classic, vintage sophistication.
How to Style It: Start with light, loose-fitting cuffed trousers and pair them with a round-neck sweater in a similar tone. Then, add your brown leather jacket and try to match your belt as closely as possible to the jacket. Finally, complete the look with our Charles Road Plain Toe Oxford for a polished finish.
