5 Autumn/Winter 2025 Fashion Trends for Mums

As the warm weather starts to fade, it’s the perfect time to start switching over your wardrobe and getting prepped for the cooler months ahead. That might mean taking stock of what you already own—and what pieces you might be missing for that easy, everyday style.

Because let’s be real—when you’re juggling kids, home life and work, the last thing you want is to spend 20 minutes staring into your wardrobe feeling like you’ve got nothing to wear. We’ve all been there.

So, to save you the hassle, we’ve done the digging for you. Here are five of the top Autumn/Winter 2025 fashion trends, plus how to work them into your day-to-day wardrobe—without sacrificing comfort, convenience, or style.

1. Mochas, Browns & Burgundies

Warm earthy tones are everywhere this season. With Pantone naming ‘Mocha Mousse’ as the 2025 Colour of the Year, rich browns, deep burgundies and caramel tones are dominating the runways. The best part? They’re incredibly easy to wear and pair seamlessly with staples you already own.

Style tip: Try teaming a chocolate knit with your favourite denim, or add a pop of colour with green accessories—think bags, shoes or hair clips.

Want to ease into the trend with a mum-friendly wardrobe update? Our Rowe Long Sleeve Knit Top in Chocolate is a gorgeous take on the trend. Designed for pregnancy and nursing, it’s an easy win for elevated, on-trend style.

Runway looks: Max Mara and Ralph Lauren

2. Sporty Chic Styling

Sporty luxe is back—and this time, it’s more wearable than ever. Think cozy knits, stripes, and relaxed silhouettes for that effortlessly cool ‘off-duty’ look. Comfort is key with this trend, making it a great one for mums on the go.

Style tip: Look for thick cotton polos, bomber jackets and stretchy knits that can be layered up or down.

Our Catalina Long Sleeve Tops are ideal for this look. Soft, breathable and designed with hidden nursing zips, they’re the ultimate sporty-chic staple for breastfeeding mums.

Runway Looks: Tory Burch and Mithridate

3. Knit on Knit

Layering is a staple of any autumn/winter wardrobe—but this year, it’s all about texture-on-texture. Think cosy knit on knit for a tonal, sophisticated look. The trick? Choose pieces in similar hues to create a polished but relaxed vibe.

Style tip: Mix ribbed knits with chunky yarns for added interest, while staying warm and comfortable.

Our Knitwear Capsule Collection was made for this moment. Try layering our Rowe Long Sleeve Top under the Lulu Knit Vest—both pieces are bump- and breastfeeding-friendly and create an effortlessly layered look.

Runway looks: Louis Vuitton and Khaite.

4. Checks & Plaid

Plaid and check prints are having a major comeback for 2025—and we’re loving the playful clash of patterns and colours hitting the runways. Whether you go bold or keep it subtle, there’s a way to make this trend work for you.

Style tip: Not ready for full-on plaid? Start small with a check-print scarf or shirt, then build from there.

The Valentina Layered Babydoll Dress features a classic check print, perfect for layering with jackets and boots. Bonus: it’s designed with a flowy waist and hidden zippers for easy breastfeeding access.

5. Suede

Suede is stepping into the spotlight this season as one of autumn’s most versatile textures. From structured jackets to soft pants and accessories, it’s the perfect way to add a touch of luxe to your everyday look.

Style tip: Keep it tonal with suede in warm camel and tan shades, or make a statement with a coloured suede jacket or bag. Suede pairs beautifully with denim, knits and earthy tones.

Runway looks: Fendi and Mithridate.
