With the arrival of autumn and the drop in temperatures, it's time to change your wardrobe. It is the perfect time to put away light garments and start thinking about how we are going to dress for the coming months.
If you are wondering what the trends in women's fashion are for this autumn-winter 2026, the answer comes down to one main idea: there is a clear return to elegance. We are leaving behind excessively casual clothes to make way for tailoring, wide-leg trousers, well-structured jackets, and fabrics like suede, which will be the stars of the season.
Chocolate brown, burgundy, and grey: the colors you will wear most this autumn
In the autumn season, the color palette becomes deeper and more sophisticated. Although black will always be an essential basic, this autumn, the colors that will flood the streets are three very flattering and easy-to-combine tones:
Grey. From pearl grey to dark charcoal. This is a perfect color that you can easily combine with countless colors or with which you can choose to create monochromatic looks, which are very elegant both for the office and for the weekend.
Chocolate brown. A warm color that brings a lot of visual richness to any garment. It works wonderfully in jackets and coats, and is a perfect choice if you are looking for an alternative to black.

Burgundy. It is the vibrant touch of color of the season. A dark, elegant tone with a lot of personality, ideal for elevating a basic jeans and white shirt outfit or for wearing on a special jacket.

What styles will be worn this autumn? The return of tailoring and suede
This autumn 2026, the styles we will see the most bet on well-made garments that fit wonderfully and textures that are very rich to the touch.
Renewed tailoring: structured jackets and wide-leg trousers
The tailored style returns strongly, but it does so adapted to the comfort we need today. Structured women's jackets, which fit the shoulder well and define the silhouette, become the star garment to complete any look.

Suede total looks are a trend this 2026
Suede has always been a very autumnal fabric, but we usually saw it only in shoes and bags. This season, it makes the leap to clothing and becomes one of the protagonist fabrics.
The trend dictates wearing it in a total look, that is, combining two garments of the same fabric. At Rivera Spain, we bet heavily on this highly sophisticated trend with coordinated sets of suede jacket and skirt, or matching trousers and jacket. It is an original, elegant, and timeless way of dressing.
The trendiest prints this autumn: Prince of Wales and houndstooth
Check prints like the iconic Prince of Wales and the houndstooth print are going very strong this autumn 2026. Although this season the collections opt for plain and minimalist garments, patterns with British heritage gain a lot of strength and will be the star prints this season, backed by major brands like Chloé or Chanel.

Knitwear reinvents itself: asymmetries and special details
As we get closer to the cold months, knitwear becomes indispensable. A good women's knitted sweater is the base of any look to withstand the cold. And the truth is that knitwear has stopped being a plain basic to become the great protagonist of the season. This autumn 2026, the catwalks have made it clear that knitwear is worn texturized, deconstructed, and with very marked asymmetries that break with the traditional silhouette.
Extreme asymmetries. This season, one-shoulder garments, sweaters with completely irregular hems, and knitwear with side fastenings will dominate the streets.

Special details and cut-out knitwear. This season, knitwear with strategic openings on the shoulders or waist, sculptural sleeve shapes (balloon or batwing type), and scarf-collars built into the garment itself will also be worn.
