The ROMINAH Autumn Edit 2026.
Autumn 2026 is rich, expressive and beautifully grown-up. This season combines dramatic proportions with practical luxury: sculptural coats, tactile knitwear, elegant boots, interesting handbags, deeper beauty shades and homes filled with warmth and personality.
Here is the ROMINAH guide to embracing the season.
The Colours
Burgundy remains autumn’s ultimate classic, joined by chocolate brown, royal purple, electric blue, vibrant red and unexpected touches of peach and turquoise. Vogue’s Autumn 2026 colour report shows a season moving beyond predictable neutrals.

Some places offer more than beautiful food. They create an entire occasion through spectacular interiors, thoughtful service, unforgettable views and an atmosphere that makes you want to dress beautifully.
These are the elegant dining experiences currently inspiring us.
1. Claridge’s Afternoon Tea, London
Served in the hotel’s magnificent Art Deco surroundings, afternoon tea at Claridge’s is a timeless London experience. Expect delicate sandwiches, warm scones, beautiful pastries and an extensive tea selection. It was named the leading choice in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2026 London afternoon-tea guide.

The ROMINAH Hotel Edit: Beautiful Hotels Around the World Worth Dreaming About.
A truly beautiful hotel is more than a place to sleep. It creates a feeling through exceptional design, thoughtful service, memorable dining and those little details that make an ordinary trip feel magical.
From London to Paris, New York and Dubai, these are ten remarkable hotels currently inspiring our travel dreams.
1. Claridge’s, London
An Art Deco icon in the heart of Mayfair, Claridge’s represents timeless British glamour. Its polished service, elegant suites and famous afternoon tea make it perfect for a luxurious London celebration. Claridge’s was ranked 11th in the 2025 World’s 50 Best Hotels list.
The ROMINAH Beauty Edit: New Skincare, Makeup and Fragrance Trends Worth Knowing.
Beauty is becoming more expressive, but skincare is moving in the opposite direction—towards gentler formulas and simpler routines. These are the trends currently refreshing our beauty shelves.
1. Skin-Barrier Beauty
Harsh routines are being replaced by ceramides, peptides and soothing moisturisers that help protect the skin barrier. Healthy, comfortable skin is the new glow.
2. Stronger but Gentler Actives
Retinol and vitamin C remain popular, but new formulations aim to deliver results with less irritation. Allure’s 2026 skincare report highlights improved delivery systems for these established ingredients.
Introduce actives gradually, patch-test first and wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
The ROMINAH Edit: 10 Things We’re Loving This Month
There is something wonderfully exciting about the moment between summer and autumn. The air begins to feel cooler, wardrobes become richer, restaurants grow cosier and our homes call for deeper colour, softer lighting and beautiful layers.
This month, the ROMINAH Edit brings together ten things capturing our attention—from expressive fashion and glamorous beauty to London’s newest hotels, irresistible restaurants, elegant interiors and accessories that make even the simplest outfit feel considered.
1. Burgundy: The Colour of the Coming Season
Deep, romantic and effortlessly expensive-looking, burgundy is emerging as one of autumn’s most desirable colours. It appeared throughout the Autumn/Winter 2026 collections alongside electric blue, royal purple and vibrant red. Vogue’s seasonal colour report confirms that this timeless wine shade is firmly back in the fashion conversation.
We love burgundy in beautifully tailored coats, satin blouses, wide-leg trousers and soft leather accessories. For an elegant everyday combination, wear a burgundy knit with chocolate-brown trousers and gold jewellery. For evening, choose a fluid burgundy dress with pointed black heels and a structured clutch.
It is rich without being loud, dramatic without feeling difficult—and flattering on an incredibly wide range of skin tones.
2. The Dramatic Coat
This season, the coat is no longer merely the final layer—it is the entire fashion statement. Oversized tailoring, cocoon silhouettes, belted waists and exaggerated proportions are bringing a sense of occasion back to autumn dressing. Vogue’s Autumn/Winter 2026 trend edit highlights playful proportions as one of the defining ideas of the season.
Look for a long coat with a strong shoulder, generous collar or beautifully defined waist. Camel, black and navy remain timeless, but burgundy, royal purple and electric blue will make even a simple monochrome outfit unforgettable.
Our styling secret? Let the coat speak. Keep everything underneath clean, tonal and beautifully fitted.
3. Lightweight Leather
Leather is becoming softer, lighter and far more wearable. Instead of saving it for heavy winter jackets, we are loving fluid leather shirts, elegant midi skirts, supple trousers and lightly structured dresses. Lightweight leather was identified as one of the standout directions of Autumn/Winter 2026 by Wallpaper’s runway report.
A chocolate-brown leather skirt worn with a cream knit creates quiet luxury without appearing predictable. A soft leather shirt can be styled open over a white vest and tailored trousers. Plus-size women should look for supple finishes, thoughtful seaming and pieces that skim rather than cling.
The effect should feel polished, modern and beautifully relaxed.
4. The Return of the Smoky Eye
After seasons dominated by barely-there makeup, expressive beauty is returning. Smoky eyes, metallic shadow, deep side partings and creative nail art are among the beauty directions moving into Autumn/Winter 2026. Who What Wear’s beauty forecast describes a renewed appetite for drama and individuality.
The modern smoky eye does not have to be heavy or harsh. Try softly blended chocolate, plum or charcoal around the lashes, finished with luminous skin and a nude-brown lip. For evening, a touch of silver or deep blue at the centre of the eyelid creates a luxurious flash of colour.
It is glamorous, slightly mysterious and perfect for the darker evenings ahead.
5. Long, Beautifully Styled Hair
Glossy length, natural texture, braids and voluminous movement are replacing overly controlled hairstyles. We are particularly drawn to deep side partings, soft waves and long braids that make a look feel immediately more glamorous.
The beauty lies in healthy-looking hair rather than perfection. A beautiful finish begins with moisture, gentle detangling, heat protection and regular care of the scalp and ends. Whether your hair is natural, braided, relaxed, curled or extended, choose a style that moves comfortably and frames your face.
This is hair with presence—the kind that becomes part of the outfit.
6. The Newman, Fitzrovia
For our hotel fantasy this month, we are looking towards The Newman, a new five-star boutique hotel in Fitzrovia. The property opened in 2026 with Art Deco-influenced rooms, a spa and a large brasserie, drawing inspiration from writer and heiress Nancy Cunard. London’s official convention bureau lists it among the city’s notable new hotel openings.
It feels ideal for a sophisticated London staycation: breakfast in bed, an afternoon of shopping and galleries, followed by cocktails and dinner without rushing across the city.
Even if you are not booking a room, a beautifully designed hotel can inspire your home—layered lighting, crisp bedding, elegant trays, scented bathrooms and one dramatic piece of art.
7. Miko at Mimi Mei Fair
London’s restaurant scene continues to make dining out feel like theatre, and Miko at Mimi Mei Fair is firmly on our radar. Located inside a Georgian townhouse in Mayfair, the Thai restaurant combines richly designed surroundings with fire-led dishes and bold flavours. Its menu has included dishes such as black-pepper squid, toasted-rice beef tenderloin and applewood-fire Peking duck Penang curry. Forbes’ guide to London’s summer openings named it among the city’s exciting new restaurants.
This is the kind of place that invites you to dress beautifully. Think an elegant midi dress, sculptural earrings, polished heels and a compact evening bag.
Because sometimes dinner is not simply a meal—it is the occasion.
8. The Beautifully Lived-In Home
Perfectly beige, almost-empty rooms are giving way to homes with warmth, personality and history. Books, collected artwork, vintage pieces, decorative textiles and meaningful objects are making interiors feel more individual. “Lived-in interiors” feature prominently in Vogue’s 2026 interior trend report.
This does not mean cluttering every surface. The secret is thoughtful layering: a stack of favourite books, one beautiful lamp, framed photographs, a ceramic bowl, fresh flowers and cushions in complementary colours.
A luxurious home should not look like nobody lives there. It should reveal something about the person who does.
9. The Sculptural, Textured Handbag
This month, we are setting aside enormous logo-covered bags in favour of something quieter and more interesting. Woven finishes, croc-embossed textures and sculptural shapes can add depth to even the simplest outfit. Woven bags remain among 2026’s prominent accessories, while croc-effect styles are returning for Autumn/Winter.
Choose a structured top-handle bag in chocolate, oxblood, black or olive. The shape should feel elegant, the hardware restrained and the size practical enough for your daily essentials.
A beautiful bag does not have to shout its name across the room. Sometimes the most expensive-looking accessory is the one people notice before they recognise.
10. The Long Pendant Necklace
The long pendant necklace is quietly becoming one of the most useful accessories of the year. It creates a flattering vertical line, brings interest to simple knitwear and can transform a plain dress, white shirt or monochrome outfit in seconds. Who What Wear’s 2026 accessories edit places long pendants among the year’s easiest style updates.
Wear one over a high-neck knit, beneath an open blazer or against a column dress. Gold looks beautiful with burgundy, cream and chocolate brown, while silver feels striking against black, navy and cool grey.
It is proof that the right finishing touch can do more than an entire wardrobe of unnecessary pieces.
The ROMINAH Final Word
What we are loving this month is not simply a collection of fashionable things. It is a mood: richer colour, expressive beauty, memorable dining, beautifully considered rooms and accessories chosen with intention.
True style is not about buying everything new. It is about noticing what inspires you, selecting what genuinely suits your life and presenting it in a way that feels personal.
Wear the dramatic coat. Book the beautiful table. Light the candle. Carry the wonderful bag. Add colour to your home. Romanticise the ordinary moments.
Because luxury is not always a price—it is often the care, confidence and imagination you bring to everyday life.
Which of these ten favourites would make it into your personal edit this month?
The 10 Pieces That Instantly Make a Wardrobe Feel Current and Polished
A polished wardrobe does not require endless new clothes. The secret is choosing a few well-cut pieces that make everything else look more stylish, modern and expensive.
1. The Sculptural Coat
A long coat with strong shoulders, an oversized collar or a defined waist instantly transforms a simple outfit. Choose black, camel, burgundy or chocolate brown.
2. The Modern White Shirt
Look for a crisp shirt with relaxed proportions and generous cuffs. Wear it with jeans, tailored trousers or beneath a blazer.
3. The Hourglass Blazer
A waist-defining blazer creates shape and makes casual clothes feel sophisticated. Black is timeless, while navy, chocolate and burgundy offer a softer alternative.
4. The Wide-Leg Trousers
Fluid, beautifully fitted trousers create an elegant silhouette. The hem should nearly skim the floor without gathering around your shoes.
5. The Lightweight Leather Piece
Try a soft leather shirt, midi skirt or streamlined jacket. Chocolate brown feels particularly luxurious and works beautifully with cream, black and burgundy.
6. The Column Dress
A simple midi or maxi dress that skims the body can move easily from daytime to evening. Change the shoes, bag and jewellery to create a completely different look.
7. The Fine-Gauge Knit
A lightweight roll-neck, crew-neck jumper or cardigan layers neatly without adding bulk. Choose quality fabric in cream, camel, black, burgundy or grey.
8. The Dark, Clean-Cut Jeans
Straight-leg, bootcut or gently wide-leg jeans in a dark wash always look polished. Avoid excessive distressing and make sure the length works with your shoes.
9. The Refined Flat Shoes
Pointed flats, elegant loafers and slim ankle boots prove that polished dressing does not require uncomfortable heels. Keep them clean and well maintained.
10. The Structured Bag
A beautifully shaped handbag in black, oxblood, chocolate or tan completes an outfit. Look for restrained hardware, strong handles and an elegant finish.
The ROMINAH Final Word
You do not need more clothes—you need the right clothes. Choose pieces with excellent fit, refined colours and enough versatility to work with items you already own. When every purchase has a purpose, getting dressed becomes easier, faster and far more stylish.
