As the temperature drops and the days grow shorter, it’s time to swap out your trusty summer staples for cosy new season must-haves. This autumn winter, we’re embracing a wardrobe refresh packed with wearable statement pieces, clever styling tricks, and radiant beauty updates to see you through the season in style.

Think of it as a closet makeover - with trending essentials you’ll actually wear, and easy ways to elevate your everyday look. Whether you’re layering up for crisp mornings or dressing for dinner dates, we’ve rounded up the top five trends to help you hit refresh at Stockland.

1. Outerwear Game-Changers

When it comes to layering, your coat is the hero piece - and this season, it’s all about statement outerwear.

Long-line coats are the definition of timeless chic, instantly elevating everything from denim and boots to your office basics. Opt for classic neutrals or make a statement in seasonal shades like mauve wine for a fresh pop of colour on grey days.

Or, for a bolder vibe, the big boho coat is your go-to. Slouchy, textured, and with all the vintage-inspired charm you could want, these oversized beauties are the perfect mix of cosy and cool. 

Style tip: Can’t decide between minimal and maximal? Choose a classic long-line style for every day, and a statement boho coat in a pop of colour for weekend adventures. Recommended products

2. Detail-Driven Designs

It’s the little things that make the biggest impact this season.

Double panel denim is having a moment this season, with contrast stitching and clever panelling giving classic jeans and skirts a fresh, on-trend twist — perfect for elevating your daytime look or adding an edge to your dinner outfit.

And don’t underestimate the power of a clever accessory swap. Power pins are the easiest way to give your winter jackets, beanies, or handbags a personalised touch. From retro brooches to modern enamel pins, it’s an easy (and affordable) way to freshen up your look.

Hot tip: Pick accessories in trending hues like wax yellow or skipper blue to nail the colour trends without committing to a full outfit. Recommended products

3. Footwear Focus: Bold Winter Steps

Say goodbye to boring winter boots - this season, your shoes are doing the talking.

Chrome kicks are making waves on the streets, bringing a futuristic edge to your everyday outfits. Think metallic silver sneakers, gleaming high-tops, and shimmering accents that instantly upgrade your jeans-and-coat combo. A switch up of your usual winter boots could be in store too – think sleek knee-high boots and prints, just the upgrade you need to elevate a look.

Where to shop: Hit up your favourite sneaker stores or footwear retailers in-centre to track down this season’s must-have metallics - or go bold in a pair of sneakers with milky blue or mauve wine detailing. Recommended products

4. The Beauty Refresh: Cool-Weather Glow-Up

Your beauty routine deserves a seasonal switch-up too.

This autumn winter, the Bitten Lip is back - a long-wear, just-bitten tint in berry or deep red tones that stays put (even with scarves and coffee cups in the mix).

Pair it with a Pastel Grunge eye, where metallic shadows and icy highlights brighten dull winter skin. This season’s makeup is also embracing soft washes of colour - think eye looks in skipper blue and milky blue to contrast cosy knits and winter layers.

Pro tip: Look for multi-use products you can dab on eyes, cheeks, and lips for a soft, glowy finish in shades like wax yellow for a subtle seasonal nod. Recommended products

5. Dupe Dynasty Returns

Looking luxe for less is still the ultimate flex. Clever shoppers know to keep an eye out for dupes of coveted bags, shoes, and designer accessories from their favourite stores.

Bag yourself an on-trend bucket bag, a statement belt, or a designer-look scarf for a fraction of the price - all without leaving Stockland.

Style tip: Try swapping your staple black boots for a pair in mauve wine, skipper blue, or wax yellow to instantly update your look and tick off the season’s top colour trends. Recommended products

The best thing about these five autumn winter trends is how easily they slot into your existing wardrobe. Mix a long-line coat with chrome kicks, dress up a denim moment with a bitten lip, or add a playful power pin to your favourite bag.
