How to wear it: Your Autumn/Winter style edit
The redux of down continues to rise as puffer coats maintain their trend dominance. From oversized silhouettes to quieter quilting, nothing quite beats the cosy charm of a duvet day.
Get ready to take a lesson in fashion math as clean lines and graphic proportions multiply in robust colours. No more normcore blending; it’s all about looking sharp!
Checks dominate the print landscape from traditional Prince of Wales and tweed fabrics to dogtooth and punky plaid. Expect classic and reimagined interpretations with placement ruffles, corsetry details and asymmetric cuts.
Danger: High voltage! Red is this season’s hot colour. Sexy, powerful and made to be seen, the megawatt hue will brighten even the dullest winter’s day. Wear it head-to-toe and prepare to light up the national grid.
Shearling, sheepskin and wooly naps cossetted the autumn winter catwalks. From snug motorcyle jackets and capacious coats to furry collars and trims, the memo is clear: hirsute yourself.
It’s the decade that keeps on giving and with good reason. What other decade serves up glittering disco, folky bohemia, psychedelia and super fly street style in one fell swoop? Exactly!
Fashion’s smooth operator is back and giving us all the feels! Think plush dresses, crushed trousers and richly decadent suits on which to pin a season of sartorial satisfaction.
Wallpaper and tapestry prints reinvent the floral game for the cooler months. Quirky and eclectic, the new bouquet is more interesting than coquettish and a sure-fire conversation starter.
