Creating your new season uniform is easy thanks to these elegant, versatile picks from Marks & Spencer's autumn 2025 collection. Think leather jackets, luxe knitwear, boho blouses - everything you need to curate your dream autumn capsule wardrobe.
There’s nothing quite like that back-to-school feeling, is there? Granted, it’s been a few decades since most of us trundled up to the school gates, but once you’ve shed your single tear over the end of summer, there’s so much to look forward to as autumn begins. Back then, it was a spanking new pencil case, a shiny pair of shoes, and a uniform that - for a fleeting moment - fit just right. Those pieces signalled a fresh start and a return to polish after months of fun. Today, building my autumn 2025 uniform, is quite simply my favourite shopping experience of the year.
When temperatures are scorching, I buy singular pieces on impulse. But come autumn? I need a plan - a solid one at that. Suddenly, a strategy is required: which jacket works with which trousers, whether those shoes can handle a wet spell, and which knit will layer best. Autumn forces you to get up close and personal with your style, think before you buy, and really consider how you want to present yourself. It’s hard work, but it’s also when I look and feel my best.
My Autumn 2025 Uniform: Brown Everything + Cool Denim + Posh Pumps
So, what’s in my capsule wardrobe for autumn 2025? Honestly, if I had my way, I’d take the entire Marks & Spencer new arrivals section. M&S autumn 2025 collection has absolutely nailed the balance between timeless staples and trend-led heroes with a line-up that feels both effortless and irresistible. But after some discipline, here’s what I’ve whittled it down to. I have made brown my base: silky mahogany brown trousers, chocolatey brown satin skirts, textured brown knits, brown trainers – the lot! The idea is that everything should go with everything, and then I can introduce accents from there. Burgundy! Red! Pistachio! Blue! I’m also investing heavily in denim and smart, perfectly cropped trousers to show off some of this season’s standout shoe trends – another category in which the British high street giant has excelled. These are effortless, elegant pieces that work well together, and are ready to take autumn by force. Discover my picks below.
The Marks & Spencer pieces everyone is going to want to wear for autumn 2025
Marks & Spencer
M&S Collection Women's Faux Leather Croc Harrington Jacket

Per Uni Printed Blouse
