Five trends that sweep the mid-season for easy dressing: easy-to-copy and accessible fall outfits

Posted on 28 September 2026

Autumn in the northern hemisphere officially begins with the autumn equinox, which this year occurs today, Tuesday, September 22, 2026 at 10:05 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time). So it doesn't matter that we are roasting at almost 40ºC in a good part of our peninsula, northwest included, because as El Corte Inglés would say: autumn is back.

And with the change of season the need for mid-season looks returns: those outfits in which there is room for everything and the layering (that is, the layers) are the real protagonists because as soon as we leave the house with 10ºC that at noon we find ourselves with the thermometers shooting.

He layering Well worn not only does it prevent us from getting cold (or hot), but it is also what makes the difference between those who know how to combine with style and those who simply put clothes on top of each other without grace. Without a doubt, 2026 is the year of mix & match with the help of scarves with classic prints, sweaters hanging over the hips, bombers over structured blazers and belts with XL buckles or again the two thin belts together in a twist to the Y2K aesthetic. Write down these basic layered outfits, because this fall you are going to wear them.

Five basic garments for layered outfits this fall 2026

Zara

The bomber jacket is an essential piece of our capsule wardrobe this fall-winter 2026: we can wear it on its own, or in layered outfits under a beige trench coat or over a structured blazer. We bought this wonder with a funnel neck at Zara that will allow us to create a perfect play of volumes to balance the silhouette with pencil skirts or wide pants. Now for 49.95 euros.

plaid shirt

Uniqlo

This fall 2026, the classic checked (or lumberjack) shirt has completely shed its old label grungerustic or scruffy. The catwalks have rescued it under a very clear premise: refined contrast. It is no longer worn with casual leggings or ripped jeans even if they are 80s style; Now it is combined with polished tailoring to create elegant and ultra-urban outfits. The winning formula is to opt for a cut checkered shirt oversize like this one from Uniqlo, tucked into wide, medium-high-rise, pleated suit pants (in shades of grey, navy blue or black). Its price? 39.90 euros.

H&M

This fall the trend when it comes to how we wear scarves is divided between cinematic romanticism and utilitarian aesthetics, always seeking to protect from wind and rain with great style. Narrow and very long silk scarves, inspired by the 70s, are making a strong comeback. They are worn with a single turn around the neck and letting the straps fall towards the back or over the chest in a very fluid way. Seventies retro-style geometry, bandanas and logos return. This Arket design for H&M in silk and cotton with a Paisley print costs 39 euros.

And finally, at halftime another garment that is an absolute basic is the striped sweater. This season the classic sailor (Breton) style becomes more elegant with looser silhouettes with puffed sleeves and slightly loose cuts, like this one from Morgan. Ideal to wear with high-waisted wide-leg jeans, loafers, a poplin shirt peeking out from underneath and a beige trench coat on top. We signed him at La Redoute discounted by 45 euros 40.50 euros.
