Palace has kicked off the campaign cycle for its Autumn 25 collection with a new lookbook preview, showing off a plethora of styling blueprints drawn from an effort that seemingly adheres to Palace’s penchant for colour, cultural enrichment, and schoolboy whimsy.
There isn’t a streetwear fan alive in the UK who isn’t glad that one of the sweatiest summers in recent memory is nearly behind us — now signalling the time of year when the “mid-layer mad” come out of hibernation, ready to receive frog-print fleeces, bold knitted styles, and all manner of heavyweight cotton tops.
Autumn 2025 sees Palace take a more concentrated approach to the “classic streetwear two-piece”, this time offering just two combinations rooted in workwear, while making up the difference with athletic memorabilia displaying fan-favourite Palace riffs on real-world sports badges, along with a number of pieces that scream “sweet home Palabama”.
Taking over from the likes of Cutler & Gross and K-Way as the star of this season’s dedicated “collaboration corner”, Palace has readied a serious lineup of pieces adorned with the cutesy anime graphics of the Doraemon franchise.

Doraemon is a culturally treasured Japanese multimedia IP that tells the tales of the “Gadget Cat” as it helps young Nobita Nobi navigate the tricky waters of growing up in hyper-kawaii, sci-fi Japan.
The Palace x Doraemon collaboration unfolds across knits, appliqué jeans, and tees, plus hoodies and two Avirex leather jackets that give depth to the robotic cat through bold chenille patches. Palace emphasises its love for the world of anime and manga by enlisting a real-life “waifu” to model its Autumn 25 collection.
Speaking to those who rejoice at the falling of leaves and the shortening of days, Palace has arranged a fresh delivery of gear that’s guaranteed to keep one “dry AF”, implementing its beloved Gore-Tex 3-layer material in seasonal shades of “tomato red” and “cloud”.
The team has chosen a tight shot of an Amazonian dart frog to feature on the big graphic jersey of the season — a mantle previously taken up by fairies and biblical figures. The frog stylings leap over onto a show-stealing fleece jacket, beanies, and webbing belts.
The latest round of evidence detailing Palace’s affinity with a diverse range of cultures materialises with piped jersey Heritage tracksuits that give shine to U.K., Turkish, and Jamaican cultures — driving home its border-breaking ethos through the Tourist knitted jumpers that depict the capital skylines of the aforementioned states.
