Move over summerween - it’s time to get ready for the real deal 🎃

While the glorious weather we’re having shows that summer is still clinging on, many of us have already shifted our attention towards the cosier “-ber’ months that lay just on the horizon 🍁

Aside from the warming colour palettes, lush layers and pumpkin spice literally everywhere you turn, autumn’s return brings one of our favourite holidays - and we’re not the only ones getting excited.

Search trends on TikTok and Pinterest show a rising interest in Halloween 2025 decor and costume inspiration, with consumers apoarently starting their spooky season prep earlier than ever 👻

If you’re a journalist sourcing products for any content around All Hallows Eve or just looking for some inspo to help you get into the “spirit” of things, be sure to explore Press Loft’s image library and check out the latest additions from our brand network!⁠

Outfits and accessories the press loved recently 👜✨️

We’ve rounded up some of the most downloaded fashion images on Press Loft over the past month or so, revealing the pieces and palettes that are dominating journalists’ mood boards as we move from sun-drenched summer looks into richer, autumn-ready styling.

Here's what's making the biggest impact so far:

Easy, Breezy Coastal Styling ⛵️

Crisp whites, flowing skirts and rattan accessories still have a place in editors’ mood boards, but this time they’re anchored by heavier layers or structured bags to carry them into cooler days ahead.

Grounded, but never boring 🤎

From forest greens to deep chocolate and soft caramel, grounded, earthy hues are emerging as a favourite in A/W accessories and knits. Far from dull, these shades add depth and sophistication, making them a season-defining staple.

Quilted charm 🪡

We've been spotting things like patchwork totes, reversible floral jackets and vests everywhere recently, and its clear that quilted textures are emerging as a key detail for the season ahead - adding warmth, personality, and a tactile edge that editors can’t resist.

Cosy tailored knits 🧶

Knits are still chunky enough to feel cosy, but the oversized silhouettes of past seasons are giving way to more streamlined fits that are perfect for layering under coats without losing comfort or shape.

For brands and agencies, this is the moment to get ahead. Short-lead press may still be holding onto a hint of summer, but long-lead titles are already building out their late autumn and winter fashion features!

If the current top downloads are anything to go by, it shows that the sweet spot lies in transitional pieces that bridge the gap between the seasons and can be layered effortlessly when the winter arrives 💫

Summer might be slipping through our fingers, but according to Pinterest trends, it’s not going without a fight.

The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty has been dominating feeds - with weekly drops sparking everything from the inevitable love triangle debates to swooning over heartfelt moments (like *THAT* scene in episode 5 - iykyk)

But it’s not just the romance keeping viewers hooked. The show’s visual world - from the Fisher family’s airy, salt-washed beach house to the sun-soaked charm of Cousins Beach itself - has captured hearts and imaginations in a big way 💙

Since the first two episodes aired on 16th July, Pinterest has recorded a major surge in searches for coastal decor ideas, with ‘beach house decor’ seeing a 700% increase in US traffic over the last few weeks!

It’s easy to see the appeal. The set and location design deliver coastal style at its most inviting: think weathered wood floors, billowing linen curtains, woven textures, ocean-washed blues, and light-filled spaces that feel timeless and effortless. It’s a softer, more lived-in take on beach-house interiors - one that transitions seamlessly from high summer into those first golden weeks of autumn.

So while our mood boards may be slowly shifting to deeper tones and layered knits, it’s clear this summer still has one last starring role to play 💫

What the press loved last month 🍂

We’ve rounded up July’s most downloaded images on Press Loft, revealing exactly what’s catching journalists’ eyes as we move from high summer into autumn/winter features.

Here’s what’s making the biggest impact:

💛 Butter yellow continues to shine

Predicted as a 2025 key colour, this soft, uplifting shade isn’t fading fast like some seasonal trends. From cushions to statement wall art, products in this hue are really proving their longevity - bringing a bit of gentle optimism into our day-to-day.

🎄 Festive content is front and centre

Festive downloads surged last month, with Sophie Allport’s bauble storage shot leading the charge. More broadly, we’re seeing strong demand for atmospheric lifestyle images that can anchor a feature - i.e. the kind of visuals editors use to set the tone, then layer with cut-outs to create shoppable stories and help consumers bring the look to life.

🍂 Autumnal tones and textures make their return

Think deep greens, burnt oranges, grounding browns and plenty of tactile textures. For example, these moodier lifestyle shots from Dunelm and Nkuku really hit the sweet spot for editors prepping their transitional content.

🛋 Retro revival is having a moment (again)

Timeless mid-century pieces are resonating with journalists, and they pair so naturally with autumnal palettes. Interest in this aesthetic is only set to grow, especially as cultural moments - like the new Fantastic Four movie and its beautiful set design - bring the style back into the spotlight.

For brands and agencies on the platform, now’s the time to align your image library with what both long-lead and short-lead press is prioritising - not just the current season, but for what's coming next.

While short-lead features may still be clinging to a summer state of mind, long-lead publications are already looking ahead to late autumn and core winter features (not just Christmas!) ❄️

While most sane people are happily soaking up the final days of summer, we’ve been quietly pinning and curating our autumn wardrobe inspo 👀

Back in January, the early AW25 collections shown across fashion weeks gave us a first glimpse of what’s to come this season: quilted details, layered knits, earthy palettes lifted with bold pops of colour, and tailoring that’s softer and easier to wear. Structured silhouettes meet relaxed, lived‑in accessories for that polished‑yet‑effortless balance that feels just right when the temperature drops 🍂

We’ve also spotted modern boho making a quiet comeback, tapping into the ongoing wave of ’90s and early‑2000s nostalgia. Autumn’s cooler days naturally lend themselves to the layering, texture, and movement this style thrives on, bringing out a free‑spirited, witchy energy that feels perfectly in tune with the season ✨️

If you’re a journalist working on AW25 style features, head to Press Loft to explore the full curated fashion edit and access all of the ready-to-download imagery in our library!

Small and independent brands - this one’s for you!

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✨ Where the opportunities are: from gift guides and trend edits to newsletter giveaways and YouTube content

Beach-influenced interiors are making a strong return this season — but with a softer, more elevated feel. Think breezy linen, whitewashed woods, and a palette of coastal whites and sun-faded neutrals that channel laid-back luxury without leaning too heavily into nautical themes 🤍

It’s a look that feels timeless and modern all at once: natural textures, relaxed silhouettes, and refined details that bring a sense of calm and quiet sophistication to summer styling.

The White Company has long embodied this aesthetic, and their latest collection captures it beautifully. From light layering pieces to airy, understated accents, it’s a masterclass in relaxed elegance — perfect for those early summer features ☀️
