7 Cool Fashion Trends You’ll See All Over Europe This Autumn
By Bébhinn Campbell,

Euro summer might be drawing to a close, but Euro autumn is just beginning. However sad you are to say goodbye to barbecues and beach days, there's plenty to look forward to—sartorially and otherwise.
Autumn in Europe offers a different kind of charm. Imagine strolling cobbled streets lined with golden leaves, ducking into warm coffee shops for a hot cinnamon bun or browsing old bookshops to escape the chill. It's all very romantic.

And then there's the fashion. This autumn, expect the classics—longline coats, leather Chelsea boots, tonal browns and cashmere layers. But fresh trends are already appearing from Paris to Copenhagen, promising a stylish season ahead. Many of the looks we highlighted in our bumper AW24 trend report have started filtering into street style, from playful bubble hems to double-dose denim. Others have been simmering under the surface, ready to become the next ballet flat or waistcoat (i.e. a big deal).
Without further ado, scroll on to see the seven trends set to dominate Europe this autumn.
7 EUROPEAN AUTUMN TRENDS TO TAKE NOTE OF:
1. Bubble Hems

Style Notes: The 1980s continues to have a huge influence on modern fashion. The latest revival? Love it or hate it, the bubble skirt (also known as the balloon skirt) is back in a major way. Look to the Scandi style set for fun ways to wear this playful silhouette.
Shop the Trend:
ZARA
Balloon Midi Skirt
£30
Start with an affordable piece to see if this trend is for you.
Reformation
Babette Dress
£228
LBDs are always classic, even those with a puffy skirt.
COS
Balloon-Hem Maxi Skirt
£110
This COS style is a sure sell out.
2. Supersized Bags

Style Notes: While the mini bag trend was cute, most of us need more space for our on-the-go essentials—and a few extras. Enter the XXL tote, set to be tucked under the arms of the chicest influencers this season.
Shop the Trend:
BALLY
Belle Large Leather Tote
£1800
Perfect for work or a weekend away.
COS
Fold Oversized Tote - Leather

I'd never guess this was from the high street.
KHAITE
Frida Suede Shoulder Bag
£1910
A suede style is extra chic.
3. Leopard Print Anything

Style Notes: Leopard print is the trend that keeps on giving. This truly timeless motif pops up in some form every season, but for AW24, anything goes. That being said, we're particularly eager to recreate Anne-Laure's trousers look...
Shop the Trend:
MANGO
Leopard-Print Straight Jeans
£50
You'll be surprised how wearable these are.
sézane
Betty Cardigan
£130
Sézane's knitwear is unmatched.
ZARA
Ballet Flats With Animal Print
£28
So cute!
4. Column Silhouettes

Style Notes: Sophisticated column-like cuts have been growing in popularity over the past few seasons, but they're about to peak in popularity. There's something seriously refined about this not-too-tight, not-too-loose shape.
Shop the Trend:
Whistles
Jamie Leather Midi Skirt
£249
So! Chic!
M&S Collection
Round Neck Ruched Midaxi Column Dress
£35
No, that price isn't a typo.
MANGO
Long Pencil Skirt
£30
The maxi hemline on this is so chic.
5. Olive Outerwear

Style Notes: Earthy green shades—think olive and khaki—will be trending across the board, but Parisians are already incorporating this timeless hue into their outerwear collections. It's basically a neutral, meaning it will go with everything you already own.
Shop the Trend:
JOSEPH
Comfort Cady Jaden Jacket
£337
The kind of layering piece you'll wonder how you ever lived without.
Arket
Snap-Button Trench Coat
£229
Arket always delivers beautiful trench coats.
COS
Oversized Embroidered Quilted Jacket
£125
This embroidery and collar on this style are so sweet.
6. Denim on Denim

Style Notes: Double denim is often worn with two different washes, but we're seeing a shift toward matching looks. Choose a coordinating set or two almost identical blues to give the Canadian tuxedo a 2024 update.
Shop the Trend:
VERONICA BEARD
Dahl Striped Denim Jacket
£400
Denim jackets are nothing new, but the stripes set this one apart.
VERONICA BEARD
Crosbie Striped High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans
£300
I'm into the slight kick-flare.
COS
Raw Denim Trousers
£85
This entire look is perfection!
7. Hats, Glorious Hats
(Image credit: @monamali_ )
Style Notes: The AW24 catwalks have spoken, and they're united on one unexpected thing: hats are in. A beret is a fail-safe starting point, but don't be afraid to branch out into caps and bucket hats in autumn-friendly fabrications.
