What Fashion Influencers Are Falling For This Autumn: Top Footwear & Accessory Trends

12 September 2025

As the leaves begin to turn and the temperature drops, we invited some friends of Pavers to our York HQ to find out what's capturing their attention this autumn. From statement sparkle to comfort-first designs, here's what's trending in footwear and accessories for the season ahead.

Silver & Sparkle: The Party Season Essentials

Embracing Bold Metallics for Autumn Nights

Annie Stirk (@findyourmidlifemagic) is leading the charge when it comes to autumn glamour. "I'm spotting some gorgeous silver pieces and plenty of sparkle, which I absolutely love for party season," she shares. This trend reflects a broader shift towards confidence-boosting metallics that add instant attention to any autumn wardrobe.

What makes this trend particularly lovable is how it adapts to the season's mood. While summer metallics tend to be light and airy, autumn's sparkle comes with more depth and richness, perfect for those cosy evening gatherings and festive celebrations.

The Confidence Factor of Bold Colours

Annie also highlights an important style evolution: "Colour has become more important to me as I've gotten older, and my hair has changed. I feel more confident wearing bold shades now."

Comfort Revolution: The Rise of Sock Slippers

When Comfort Meets Style

Morag Atkinson (@mogzee_m) is truly ready for cosy season. "I've fallen for the sock slippers; I was trying them all on earlier! They're incredibly comfortable. I'm definitely in my comfy era," she reveals.

Here at Pavers Shoes, we're all about wellbeing and comfort in fashion choices. This Autumn, it's not just about looking great, it's about feeling great too.

Autumnal Hues: Embracing Seasonal Colour Palettes

The Perfect Autumn Palette

Melissa Abbott (@backofthewardrobe70) perfectly captures the seasonal mood: "I'm seeing so many autumnal hues in this collection, which is wonderful; it's my favourite colour palette and season, so I couldn't be happier!"

Autumn colours, think rich burgundies, warm browns, deep oranges, and golden yellows are definitely trending this season. We love the earthy feel they bring to an outfit this time of year!

Practical Glamour: Boots That Work Just As Hard As You Do

Practical Style

Pauline Winch (@paulas_silverandgreydays) brings attention to one of the most important aspects of autumn footwear: practicality. "I'm falling for boots; you've got some stunning styles here. The grip on the sole and heel is especially important for me as I'm not always steady on my feet."

Her love for "the black floral ones" goes to show that you don't have to sacrifice style for practicality. Weather-ready boots and beautiful designs really can go hand-in-hand.

Bold Foundations for Autumn Outfits

Joanne Hardcastle (@hardcastletowers) is excited about one of autumn's most distinctive trends: "I'm so excited about the chunky-soled leather shoes, and I love that there are matching boots too. I might just need a variation of those!"

Chunky soles are the ultimate transitional trend and aren't just any style statement; they provide additional height, comfort, and weather protection, making them ideal for autumn's unpredictable conditions.

Coordinated Collections

The trend towards matching shoes and boots allows for wardrobe versatility while maintaining a cohesive look. This approach to seasonal dressing makes it easier to transition between different occasions and weather conditions.

The Power of Matching Sets

Three-Piece Perfection

Judith Snowdon (@handbagsandfashionlover) is all about coordinated accessories. "I particularly love the tweed set of a bag, purse and ankle boot," she shares, highlighting how matching pieces create instant polish and get rid of any guesswork from seasonal dressing.

Judith’s appreciation for "fashion-first wellies" shows how even the most practical autumn necessities are stepping their way into the world of fashion. Modern wellies, such as the Chelsea Boot Wellies, prove that weather protection doesn't mean sacrificing style.
