Overview

• Consumer roundups coalesce around five key outerwear directions: trenches in cropped or longline cuts, plush faux fur, sporty or varsity silhouettes, cinched tailoring, and scarf-coats with built-in drapes.
• Trench coats are framed as the season’s anchor piece, refreshed with modern proportions that update the classic without losing polish.
• Texture leads the narrative as suede is flagged as “having a moment” and faux-fur coats and jackets are promoted for cozy, statement layering.
• Sport-influenced styles span track-inspired zip-ups, retro windbreakers and varsity bombers, with Times Now linking renewed bomber buzz to Taylor Swift’s influence.
• Bristol Live reports brown as the standout autumn palette across searches and retail picks, citing examples such as New Look’s cropped puffer and Monsoon’s chocolate-toned trench.
