1. The coffee date
Autumn lovers, this one’s for you. Romanticising a spiced latte and gossiping with your bestie? Unmatched. Dressing for comfort is key on an autumn coffee date. Lean into the cosy aura of independent brunch spots, city farm cafes, and steaming hot cups of chai to go, and replicate the vibe with a relaxed, uncomplicated, casual coffee outfit.
The formula:
This AW we’re looking back to the mid-2000s for our autumn outfits. Think fitted, casual, tailored jackets with micro-rise bootcut jeans or skinny jeans, styled with loop scarves and a simple black ballet flat.
The coffee date line-up:
BDG Miko Low Rise Flap Pocket Skinny Bootcut Jeans
UO Margot Loop Slim Scarf
UO Black Lisbon Ballet Flats
UO Evie Riding Jacket
Out From Under Wren Padded Seamless Rib Cami
BDG Xion Scarf Shoulder Tote Bag
2. Lectures + library days
Nailing your back to uni outfits shouldn’t give you the same headache as waking up for a 9am lecture might. This autumn, outfits for university are centred on capri pants and crop trousers. A basic staple that creates interest with its shape, we’re wearing ours slung low on the waist and tucked into boots. Pair them with something checked up top (a pattern that will be a hero of autumn ’26), a slouchy boho bag big enough to fit your notebook and water bottle, and the vibe is set.
The formula:
Prepare to see a lot of Capris and Crops like the BDG Diego, and reconstructed modular shirts this autumn. Layer your capris with winter brights – pair muted bottoms with a highly saturated colour pop up top to update your look. Throw in a slouchy autumn knit and you’re golden.
The lectures and library line-up:
BDG Diego Crop Cargo Trousers
BDG Dark Brown Pull-On Boots
Silence + Noise Matty Asymmetric Shirt
UO Check Brushed Knit Cardigan
BDG Cici Slouch Bag
3. The autumn pub night
So, you’ve packed up your laptop and your lecture notes, and you’ve got 30 mins to ransack your room for a fit before student happy hour ends at your local. But what are autumn night out outfits looking like this year? This AW26, layering is the moment. It’s finally cool enough to wear more than a cami and boxers, and we’re taking full advantage of it.
The formula:
Have fun and play around with layering in your autumn evening outfits. Don’t be afraid to mix things up: try spliced checked kilts over trousers, throw on two types of tactile knits in the form of a jumper and an accessory, or double up on jersey top and bottom – layering’s not going anywhere.
When it comes to prints, our key tip is to clash as much as you want. Sticking to the same colour palette but experimenting with different scales, prints and textures keeps your pub oufits cohesive but interesting.
The autumn going out outfit line-up:
UO Martina Draped Midi Skirt
Silence + Noise Penny Ruched Mesh Shirt
BDG Tan Pull-On Leather Boots
UO Eyelet Headband
4. Gig at the SU
Gig nights at the Student Union are always a good time. Think cheap drinks, a sweaty dancefloor, your new fave band playing a bit too loudly, and looking around to see everyone from your course and halls packed together in the crowd. If you’re wondering what to wear to a concert in autumn, we suggest leaning into just-threw-this-on-but-it-works energy. The less put-together your gig outfits look, the better. (PSA: don’t worry if it actually took you an hour to get dressed, we won’t tell).
The formula:
Pull on your fave pair of skinny straight-leg jeans with a draped jersey top for an easy, undone vibe. Think Effy Stonem from Skins, but without the lashings of kohl eyeliner (unless that’s your thing). Then, grab a small shoulder bag for your ID, keys and phone. Finally, the key to the whole autumn concert outfit? The footwear, ofc. You want something that’s cute but comfy enough to see you through from the first song to the inevitable late-night takeaway on the way home.
The Gig outfit line-up:
BDG Ryen Skinny Straight Jeans
Jaded London Tullia Stripe Drape Jersey Top
PUMA Burgundy Tacklette Trainers
iets frans... Monogram Small Shoulder Bag
The Autumn Outfits Checklist: What to Wear to Every Plan
It’s official: the sweaty summer months have finally said sayonara, and the crisp crunch of leaves underneath our boots suggest that autumn is FINALLY here. Figuring out what to wear in autumn can be tricky, after months of basically wearing as little fabric as humanly possible. But don’t worry, this post will help you lock in your autumn outfit rotation, minimal effort required. Whether you’re dressing for a coffee catch up with mates, lining up your lecture fits, or prepping for the pub garden after hours, consider this a cheat sheet to dressing for autumn 2026.
