What is trending for early winter that you can buy in the shops right now

This week I decided to source some garments from four local retailers at different price points to showcase what is trending for Winter 2026 here on the ground in Christchurch. Overall some trends emerged that seem to be here to stay: 1. Barrel leg trousers and jeans 2. Chocolate brown (still staying strong from summer and autumn). 3. Patterned, coloured and monogrammed knitwear 4. Skirts 5. The peasant style blouse with billowing sleeves and a lot of fullness. 6. Suiting in all colours but especially in navy and chocolate brown. 7. The trendy puffer 8. Long coats To purchase these items check out: https://fashionsociety.co.nz/ https://floandfrankie.com/ https://www.stormonline.com/ https://www.max.co.nz/   Labels featured from Fashion society are as follows: https://fashionsociety.co.nz/collections/ag-denim https://fashionsociety.co.nz/collections/citizens-of-humanity https://fashionsociety.co.nz/collections/ba-sh https://fashionsociety.co.nz/collections/lagence https://fashionsociety.co.nz/collections/zadig-and-voltaire   Labels featured from Flo and Frankie https://floandfrankie.com/collections/auguste-the-label https://floandfrankie.com/collections/among-the-brave   Any feedback about the podcast is greatly welcomed.
