The days are getting a shade gloomier. The smell of damp earth, crunchy amber leaves and pumpkin spiced brews hangs in the air — autumn is here. With it, an opportunity to evaluate your current inventory and stock up on seasonal trends.
So, what's in vogue for A/W 2024/25? Let's take a look, shall we?
Corporatecore & business chic
Corporate chic, otherwise known as 'corpcore' or 'businesscore' is here to glamorise the back-to-office vibe that throughout COVID was replaced with comfy PJs and sweats. Think neutrals, especially greys, along with button-ups, blasers, pantsuits, pencil skirts and ties. Boosted by fashion Tiktok's obsession with looks like 'the office siren' and 'librarian chic', corporate core focuses on office-like aesthetics, occasionally paired with unexpected and playful accessories.
Oftentimes worn as oversized silhouettes for a more relaxed, smart-casual vibe, this is a trend that's been prevalent throughout 2024. However, it's expected to pick up even more as people layer up in the colder months. On CREOATE, you'll find all kinds of smart corpcore blasers and pantsuits. US fashion stockist Productseeker boasts a variety of chic wholesale formalwear picks. See some of our marketplace inspo below.

'Knitware? For winter?' you may be thinking à la Miranda Priestly, 'Groundbreaking.'
But hear us out! This season's treand is all about paying homage to snug, ski-style sweaters and knits of decades past.

Tactile fabrics
Available to purchase wholesale from aŠady on CREOATE
A dominant theme of the season that crosses over somewhat with the glitter and sequins of the previous trend is a tendency towards more tactile fabrics and accoutrements. Think faux fur, cosy wool, and fabulous feathers. Plummage of all different colours has been spotted amidst the AW 24/25 collections of many reputable designers on runways across the world. It's giving drama. Whether through oversized silhouettes, bold colours, and fluttering feather detailing, adding a little softness to some of the dressier moments of this season's fashion picks. Let's take a look at what fashion stockists have for us below for a little stock-up inspiration.
