Ready to get your autumn fashion on? The season is fast approaching and it’s time to start exploring the deep, dark corners of your cupboard (or filling in what’s missing from your cupboard!). Here’s what’s hot this autumn season if you want to keep up with the latest fashion trends. Find those pieces in your cupboard that tick the boxes, or shop for new fashion to keep up with the fall–coloured Joneses… But above all, have some fun with it!
Embrace the Seasonal Colours
The Allure of Textures
Textures are also big right now, and they’re the perfect pairing to colour. Your choice of texture
depends on your preferences, but here’s what seems to be trending in autumn fashion this year.
Racey Lace
Lace and laser–cutting designs are in! If you love a bit of detail in your clothing, stock your
cupboard with a few interesting pieces, and make sure to pair them with plain clothing to
make them stand out. If you aren’t a fan of lacey clothing, you might prefer to choose mandala–
patterned fabric, which showcases the lacey pattern without the texture.
Pleasing Pleating
Simple yet effective. Pleating adds subtle texture and brings an element of interest to any
look. You can find pleats in various degrees of intricacy, so it’s best to shop around and find
something that really appeals to you. Keep the rest of the outfit plain so it can stand out!
Heavy Metal
Small sequin splashes and full–body metallic are BOTH in vogue this season. If you’re
confident enough to wear shimmery metallic fabric from neck to toe, then you won’t be out of
place in this year’s autumn fashion trends!
If full–body metal is too much for you, then adding a touch of metallic shine with a single clothing
item or an accessory can make a relatively plain or dark outfit pop. A metal–texture bag,
scarf, tie, or belt can make all the difference.
Peplum… For the Frill Seekers
All of the frills! Peplum is back in fashion, so make the most of this trend if you love a bit of a
frill. If you don’t have an item in your cupboard with an overskirt built in, you might want to go
on a shopping spree, because it’s not an easy thing you can create yourself.
Mixing Vintage with Modern
This look is popular across ages, so try it out this season! You can get very creative here, but
the best way is probably to choose your vintage items first and then mix and match with the
modern items in your cupboard. For example, wear your Vintage Doc Martens with your modern
ripped jeans and a hoodie, or a vintage jacket over a modern sundress.
Must–Have Autumn Accessories
Accessories are the spice of your outfit. Something small but thoughtful can take an outfit from
being boring to being amazing. Make sure you have at least one of each of these in your
cupboard to add to any look!
A Little Black… Coat
The perfect addition to any outfit, smart or casual. Make sure it’s tailored, or it’ll look sloppy.
Choose a length that suits you—above the ankle or mid–thigh are popular. This accessory will
serve you well for seasons (and years) to come.
Wrap Yourself Up
Scarves, shrugs, and ponchos are back in style. You’ll appreciate them when the temperature
drops, but you can easily use a thinner one on warmer days to wrap yourself up and feel
cosy, protect yourself from the wind, and look great. Add a small brooch to hold it in place and
add an extra visual sparkle to your look. Choose your colour or texture to complement the rest
of the outfit.
Make–a–Bold–Statement Tights
No sleek black tights this season—the bolder, the better! Go all out with colour, pattern, and
craziness here—nothing is off limits. Vibrant patterns will make you stand out and help you (and
those around you) to draw on the dynamic energy of summer even if the weather is getting a
little cooler.
Tie Yourself Up in Style
Just like punk rocker Avril Lavigne back in her heyday, ties are back to being popular! Follow
Avril’s lead and wear a tie loosely over your shirt, which works well whether you’re wearing a
casual T or a collared shirt (leave it unbuttoned for a more chilled–out look)
