Men’s style really comes into its own in autumn. While summer style is so often a simple T-shirt or shirt with shorts or chinos or jeans, autumn’s cool crisp air opens up a whole world of layers, textures and accessories.
Style trends for men can overlap and circle back a little more often than for women, which means you may well already have some on-trend pieces in your wardrobe. It may be that all you need to do is add a few key pieces to freshen things up.
To help you find those pieces, we’ve put together a list of the season’s key looks, cuts, colours and textures. From chunky knits to checked shirts and tweeds to trainers, here are eight of the top style trends for men in autumn 2025.
1. Oversized outerwear
Coats are your cocoon this autumn; oversized, exaggerated, and perfect for ensuring you’ll stay as stylish as you will warm. Big silhouettes are in, whether that’s a generous gilet, a down coat, an oversized wool coat, or a well-proportioned Harrington jacket.
A statement overcoat that incorporates texture or pattern can be a great way to get expressive with your style, especially if the rest of your wardrobe is lower key.
For a more casual aesthetic, you’ll find a range of really nice oversized peacoats or parkas in the high street right now. Perfect for autumn’s changeable weather, they’ll take you through winter too with the right layers underneath.
2. Checkmate
For both men and women, it’s checkmate this autumn. The catwalks were full of plaid, and it’s made its way to the high street – there’s everything from socks to coats and lumberjack shirts that range from muted and monochrome to bright and brash.
As always, Marks and Spencer has a fantastic line of on-trend menswear for the season, and if you’re looking to add some plaid, you’ll find some very wearable pieces. This checked overshirt is cosy and lined – exactly the type of layer that’s needed for that middling autumn weather that can be changeable and unpredictable throughout the day.
Their checked shirts are reasonably priced and wear well, though if you’d like a little more choice and a shirt that’s known for its excellent fit and quality, have a look at the range of checked shirts by Drake’s.
3. Earthy, rooted tones
Every year, Pantone names its “colour of the year”, and in 2025, the accolade has gone to a warm, sweet, earthy tone called Mocha Mousse. Rich and rooty, it’s a versatile brown shade that’s easy to wear and can be used to pull a look together, pairing beautifully with white, denim, creams, olive greens, and the season’s other primary colour, rich burgundy. But most of all, it’s deeply autumnal, and works particularly well with the thicker, cosier textures worn this season.
There are lots of ways to wear earthy, rooted tones. A cosy knit like this one from Peter Christian, for example, is classic enough to be worn year after year. Or for just a splash of colour, these classic leather Dara trainers from Hidden White are a great accent.
4. Solid sweaters
A good sweater might well be on-trend this year, but should be a timeless piece that will last you for many autumns to come – think Billy Crystal’s iconic cable knit sweater in When Harry Met Sally, still iconic even 36 years after the film was released! The men’s autumn/winter catwalks this year were filled with bold, patterned, and bright knits and sweaters, though paring it back just a little will allow you to make a statement without dating your look next year.
Maniere De Voir’s Yani sweater is a statement knit that could well be your autumn wardrobe’s ‘main character’, but it remains a classic and timeless design with it. Or, if you like cardigans, this patchwork knit from Joe Browns will stand out without screaming out, and is easy to style with denim or any of this season’s colours.
If your mind is still on Mocha Mousse but you’re not a cardigan guy, this Port Shawl Collar Jumper from &Sons is that same warm, earthy tone, but in a more rugged and practical design.
5. Relaxed tailoring
For so long, menswear has been confined to tighter fits and tailoring, from jeans to suits. In the past year or two, a looser, boxier style has come back, and it’s a key feature of this autumn’s menswear trends.
Think about moving away from tight-fitting garments and towards more relaxed, oversized silhouettes and wider, comfortable fits. Wider-leg trousers are a key element of the look, as well as baggy jeans and slouchy blazers. This will come as a welcome change for those of you who prioritise comfort but want to stay on trend, and like to feel casual with a touch of class. That’s not to say the trend is all casual – expect to see a mix of both relaxed and formal pieces (two-piece suits are everywhere this autumn, too).
Urban Outfitters have a great pair of khaki wide leg trousers with a pleat, easily styled and a great ‘gateway’ piece to start incorporating a new, looser cut into your wardrobe. ASOS have a pair in a neutral and wearable brown that features an elasticated waistband, too, for extra comfort.
6. Heritage Fabrics
Outdoorsy, heritage fabrics and rich textures are making a confident return in men’s fashion for autumn 2025, with British-made textiles holding their own and maintaining their status as a high-quality, reliable, and structured choice.
From classic tweeds and herringbone to corduroys, brushed wool, and soft flannels, these classic materials are being reimagined with fresh cuts and modern accents. The emphasis this season is on depth and texture – tactile fabrics that feel substantial, age well, and suit the colder months perfectly.
Whether it’s a British-made wax jacket, a tweed cap like this one from H&M, or corduroy chinos like this comfortable pair from M&S, adding some heritage fabric to your wardrobe will tap into British sartorial traditions, lending character and warmth to your look while remaining fresh and wearable today.
7. Leather jackets
Leather jackets never really go out of style, but they’re very much back this season. A leather jacket is a solid addition to any wardrobe; you’re never too young or old to wear one, and the right fit will look good forever.
This year, fitted and biker jackets are not as popular as bigger, looser silhouettes, so if you’re thinking of splashing out, you’ll find a lot of great oversized leather bomber and blouson jackets that are as comfortable as they are flattering.
This oversized brown bomber jacket from Jesse London is bold and modern, available in red, brown or black, and on trend with the season’s oversized outerwear style.
All Saints are London’s leather stalwarts, so of course they have a fantastic range of jackets, too – the Kino is a beautiful, butter-soft jacket that sits somewhere between blouson and bomber. Or, for something classic but a little more budget-friendly, you might like this relaxed-fit chocolate brown leather jacket from Zara.
8. The next neckwear
Ties are not the core menswear item they used to be; the truth is that most men won’t don one unless the occasion needs it. But a new neckwear trend is emerging, and it’s gathered steam this season. Scarves and bandanas are appearing around the necks of stylish men across the UK, and they’re adding a pop of colour and panache that elevates even a simple shirt and jeans.
The bandanas are perhaps geared a little more towards Generation TikTok, but for a more sophisticated and debonair style of neckwear, why not experiment with a larger silk scarf? Soho Scarves is a great place to find a range of plain and patterned silk scarves in a huge range of colourways and styles. From bold, large prints to more classic paisleys, there’s plenty of range here for you to find something that you can work into your wardrobe.
Final thoughts…
Autumn 2025’s style trends for men are all about classic comfort, quality, and quintessential British clothing traditions. Whether you want statement or understated, cool and casual, or rough and rugged, all you need to do is piece together a few core items around which you can build an autumn wardrobe that looks fresh, stylish, and elegant.
What’s great about this year’s trends is their instant timelessness – you can shop with confidence knowing that what looks great this year won’t go out of style by next – a rich brown jumper will always look great.
But, ultimately, remember to trust and follow your personal preference and style when you’re finding the right pieces for you.
