There’s nothing like cosy knitwear in the autumn and, even with her love for OTT fashion, Lily Allen knows that layering up in oversized jumpers is a must at this time of year. But the need for practical layers doesn’t mean you can’t play around with some of the season’s trendiest tones.
In a recent Instagram post celebrating her album, West End Girl, reaching number two in the UK charts, Lily posed in a brown, oversized knit jumper, which she layered underneath a matching mocha leather jacket.
The two pieces are perfect for battling cooler climes in, with the warm, brown hues being one of the season’s biggest colour trends. And incorporating them into our day-to-day wear with chunky knits and practical jackets is an easy way to execute seasonal trends.

It’s no surprise that mocha is one of the biggest fashion colour trends for autumn/winter 2025. The shade not only perfectly encapsulates the rich, warm tones of the season, but it’s also a versatile neutral for styling with a variety of other hues.
While Lily could have gone for a classic black leather jacket, she opted for brown, which ties into her knit, creating a much softer look. The tone offers a flattering alternative to black, especially when styled with other neutrals. A perfect brown outfit idea, Lily showcases the more casual side of the colourway, but it doesn’t compromise on polish.
