Autumn lifestyle trends: Fashion, gardening, and seasonal home updates

Various seasonal trends and lifestyle guides for the autumn season highlight changes in fashion, home decor, and gardening. In fashion, barrel-cut wool trousers are emerging as a key silhouette for 2026, while copper tones are trending as a popular hair color.

Home and lifestyle updates include the use of berry tones and green hues in bedroom textiles, as well as the 'lasagna planting' method for flower bulbs to ensure continuous spring blooms. Gardening advice focuses on preparing outdoor spaces for winter, including specific pruning guidelines and selecting bee-friendly plants like asters and dahlias.

Environmental concerns are also noted regarding microplastics released from synthetic clothing, such as fleece, during washing, with recommendations to choose denser fabrics or natural fibers like Lyocell. Local community events in Cologne and markets in Opladen offer seasonal festivities, including cultural readings and autumn markets.
