Stay ahead this season by adding ultra-feminine fabrics to your wardrobe. Look to sheer layers, satin, delicate lace, and textured crochet. The romantic fashion trend has many iterations, with both work and day wear getting in on the action. How to adapt this trend to you? Opt for lace-trimmed camisoles and bodysuits under blazers. Toughen up the sexy silhouette of a slip dress with a chunky knit and tease a hint of lace from under your T-shirt, over your denim for instant cool.
Plaid and checks are prominent patterns to invest in right now. This is a trend that will work hard throughout the winter months; it’s not a fad. More like a resurgence of a fashion that never went away – Vivienne Westwood and Burberry were not wrong. Pick a centre piece for your wardrobe to nail this trend – a barn jacket with checked details is a playful start, but we say a patterned trench coat is a purchase you will not regret. Seek out separates like tartan-tailored trousers and tulle midi skirts to wear with cosy sweatshirts. Accessorise with suede trainers in autumn shades, a checked bag, and granny-checked scarves to top your trench.
We can’t help melting into the warm, earthy tones of chocolate this season. Brown is the new neutral, reshaping wardrobes, leaving black, quite frankly, in the dark. It feels more luxe, more grown-up, and softer than the vampy, harsh silhouettes of previous seasons. How to wear it? Head-to-toe. With so many hues of brown to play with, don’t be afraid to go whole hog, mixing in patterns and textures for effect. Lean on suede and leopard to always look expensive . This is a colour to get on board with. Go on, give it a try.
Everyone loves a stripe. This versatile, sporty-come-preppy pattern steps off the sports field this season. Look for rugby shirts in zesty feminine styles and American polos with striped collars. Mix patterns and clash stripes—layering collars works too. Go preppy with wide-leg jeans, cosy socks, and loafers, or polish your look with a tailored blazer and ladylike bag. Gold accessories always fit.
