]]> While some autumn trends are reoccurring staples that defrost every year to grace our wardrobes, you’ll be sure to turn heads in these hot new looks that’ll keep you warm all winter long. With innovative new styles and contemporary twists on classic pieces, you’ll definitively be able to find your new autumn staple from this list of five new trends for autumn 2024.

ASMR On Your Feet

The sun has set on practical footwear, and we’re embracing loud, fun shoes this autumn. Hitting runways, collections, and bustling cities alike, bold shoes are hitting the streets to remind you that September is the best time to get creative. Feathers and frills are not the typical textile for footwear, given some impracticalities, but when has that ever stopped innovation?!

Adding furs and feathers to shoes is a bold way to instantly elevate a look that might be lacking in interest or dimension, instead adding intrigue and a focal point that isn’t usually explored in an outfit. By drawing the eyes down to the shoes, one must take in and explore all elements of the look in harmony as the eyes travel downwards. Rather than the eyes fixating on a bold jacket which would encompass the gaze, the designer is prompting you to dig a little deeper and take in the outfit as a whole.

So, while impractical, this fun and daring trend is a unique way to explore creative styling and demand attention. All while keeping your legs warm of course.

Extra-Long, Extra Cosy, Fuzzy Scarves

Gone are the childhood days of lying to your mother that you wore your winter scarf because it’s “not cool” and instead we’re exploring what this versatile, and practical, accessory can really do. Aside from the obvious weather -bound relevance, scarves can be an easy gateway to elevating your accessories to encompass a little more style, and this season: the bigger the better!

This autumn, prepare to combat the cold with an extra-long, extra cosy scarf that’ll ensure both warmth and showstopping style.

Ranging from feathered to fuzzy; oversized is the autumn style of 2024 and scarves joining this trend is an accessible way to either dress up a classic look or compliment a bolder style. Seen most often on runways in traditional autumn earth tones to keep in tone with the season, we’re loving that beauty doesn’t always equal pain, and that mother really does know best.

A Bracelet Bag

In this next autumn trend of 2024, make way for the classy older sister of the bum bag: the bracelet bag. Going hands-free on the catwalk and red carpet is just as practical as it is on the high street, and we’re all learning how we can ditch the clutch for something a little more cosmopolitan. Posing as more than an accessory, you can really make this trend your own by finding a bag that suits both your fashion and jewellery sense in a design that accentuates how many city-girls already carry their bags.

With styles ranging from long chains between bag and bracelet, letting the bag hang below the hand, to designs that allow the bag to neatly fit into the shape of a relaxed palm as bag and bracelet form one streamlined unit. Either way, you can’t deny the genius of the trend which marries style and functionality in a design Jane Birkin would be proud of. 

Birds Of a Feather

From Vivetta to Alexander McQueen, runways have seen models shake their tail feathers this autumn with A/W24 collections branching out into a fluffy, feathered fabric with texture reigning loud and clear. The autumn season has always been the time to experiment with layering, textures, colours, and designs, and 2024 is sticking to that tradition with the next modern twist on a classic style.

Reminiscent of old Hollywood, the mesmerising sway of the feathers as the wearer struts creates an airy, poetic look that softens even the boldest of colours and designs, oozing femininity and fearlessness.

From Ginger Rogers to Chappell Roan, feathers are the epitome of versatile and instantly adapt to and portray the style you’re going for. So, whether you’re dancing on the ballroom floor, or in a Las Vegas bar, you can be sure of the fact that all eyes are on you.

Dom Dressing

Darker colours have always been seen in autumn wardrobes. But this kinky spin on the timeless classic brings a whole new vibe to a winter palette. Expertly clad in leather, chains, and attitude, wearers can find themselves dominating more than the runway this autumn in a look that is sure to send your confidence through the roof.

Specialising in black leathers, cut in obscure and un-traditional ways, the sexy, biker style is perfect for all body types to ensure that you feel you most bold and most importantly seen.

Showcasing the arms and shoulders is a classic in this genre and as the sturdiest part of us, we can see why highlighting board shoulders is the perfect accompaniment to this look, presenting a firm, calm, and controlled essence. So, will you dare to be different in this up-and-coming trend of autumn 2024 that’s not for the faint of heart? Now’s your chance.

]]> Year after year we all tend to turn to the ‘sad beige’ colours as soon as September comes around. While leaning on various shades of brown is extremely reliable during the fall months, they have also become a terribly boring sight to witness on the streets. Amidst the sea of taupe, these 5 colour palettes and patterns are bound to break the seasonal monotony. This is a beckoning to not relegate the other colours merely to your spring/summer wardrobe.

Cherry Red

If TikTok, Instagram and the viral Miu Miu slingbacks are to be believed, cherry red is the colour of the season. While red has always been part of the autumnal colour palette, recent years has seen it take a step back with ‘Christian Girl Fall’ colours (brown, mustard white, brick, burnt orange) taking a more prevalent position in the hierarchy. This subdued, deep red is the perfect accent to any outfit, bringing life to your darker warm clothes. 

Buttercup Cream

While it is easy to pendulum between the many variations of the black or navy turtle neck and the white woollies, buttercup cream is the perfect way to subtly introduce lighter colours back into the mix. While the shade is very reminiscent of white, the hint of yellow makes all the difference. The vanilla-esque colour comes from the same line of thought as the mustard beanie we all had in 2017 but, evokes a far more luxurious pastel palette to fit into your “silent luxury” outfit rotation.

Metallics

Right: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu7pSBGI2Qy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Metallics are here to stay this season. Between the recent Rabanne X H&M collaboration and the abundance of it during the Autumn/Winter ’23 shows, metallics has been revived in the zeitgeist. Metallics can actually be far more versatile than they are given credit. A metallic version of the customary satin slip dress present in everyone’s closet, is a far more elevated piece of clothing in and of itself. A chunky metallic coat or leather jacket, chrome knee-high boots, a sequined mini skirt – are all pieces fit to enhance your fall and festive wardrobe.

Pinstripe

Right: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw-Zl9trnJs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=2

We cannot talk about the takeover of corp-core without pinstripes. Pinstripes have been a staple of the suit closet since time in memorial and they have never been more in style. Corporate core calls to two very clear-cut sensibilities within its aesthetic—the Y2k Devil Wears Prada corporate chic and the 80’s Armani, broad shouldered power-suited woman. Both are great ways to layer the pinstripe blazer with a matching trouser, skirt or even vest. The pinstripe’s vertical lines allow for an elongated and clean look, a stark contrast to the many puffer jackets that will pass by you this fall.

Checks

Right: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxgHPy0J11N/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=1

Checks are the greatest way to incorporate multiple colours into your fall wardrobe. From Gingham, Madras, Plaid to Tartan, Checkerboard and Argyle, checks are an extremely fun way to play around with not only colour but also patterns. While checks have been a pretty consistent trend for most winter wardrobes, 2023 sees checks getting bigger, broader and bolder.

What’s so great about a midi is its ability to be versatile, particularly in the uncertain UK weather!

Simple yet stylish. A classic midi is one of the easiest looks to dress up or down, so let us show you how.

Neutrals

Brown is always a good idea and this look has proved just that with its three piece matching set. The different shades and textures create dimension, while the animal print bag and shoes duo will help you step into September with confidence!

Classic Black ‘Fit

The easiest way to switch from season to season has to be black. As one of the most adaptable colours, black can be worn in just about any look whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring. While in summer this midi could be highlighted just by some colourful jewels, as autumn approaches we think a bright and bold orange jacket would top the look off, as seen here on Kim Kardashian.

Chic Knits

Law After the year we’ve had, comfort is key so why not slip into this stretchy ribbed knit two piece from Fendi with ease. Autumn loves a neutral and the simplicity of this look invites colour and style play in the shape of some funky shades for effortless street style or whatever you’d like, make this look your own.

Side Slit Savvy

This effortlessly cool look will make swapping your mini for a midi so much easier! The loose silhouette and side leg split help to ease you out of summer but pop on some trainers with a leather jacket and autumn is well under way.

Curve Hugging

If you need a midi for autumn, or any season in fact, Reformation is the place to go with hundreds of skirts and dresses in a range of different styles that will be sure to suit you. This gorgeous sage green piece offers the most flattering fit with its form-fitting sexy silhouette. The soft-to-touch fabric and décolletage on display make this the perfect look for an autumn evening out, pair with your choice of sandals and a simple over shirt to let this midi combo do all the talking.

Textures and Tones

If you’re still holding onto summer in the hope of just one more sunny day then a netted crochet number is the way to do it. The high neck and midi length vs the netted mesh design create a seamless summer to autumn transition. With the help of gold tones and heels to match this look really doesn’t require much else, add a matching bag and you’re good to go!

Knitwear has evolved from being an essential garment to a statement piece in our wardrobe. We no longer buy these items for the sole purpose to keep us warm but also for their appearance and on trend look. Who would have thought a few years ago basic cardigans and jumpers would be the focal point of our outfits? It used to be a clothing piece we would put on reluctantly as it covered up our outfits underneath and felt unflattering, now we have a fresh view and are embracing the return of knitwear this season.

It is almost time for the clocks to go back and the cardigans to come on as Autumn approaches. Knitwear has evolved from being an essential garment to a statement piece in our wardrobe. We no longer buy these items for the sole purpose to keep us warm but also for their appearance and on trend look. Who would have thought a few years ago basic cardigans and jumpers would be the focal point of our outfits? It used to be a clothing piece we would put on reluctantly as it covered up our outfits underneath and felt unflattering, now we have a fresh view and are embracing the return of knitwear this season. 

This Autumn we are also exploring how knitwear does not just stop at jumpers but its appearing in all forms including dresses and trousers. Here are a range of outfits that reflect the love for this style, ready for the upcoming season to keep you on trend.  

Knitted Vests

The cooler months gives us the opportunity to play around with different styles such as layering and a style where we have seen this appear are with knitted vests paired with a shirt. This is a trend we saw through last autumn and is one we are welcoming back gladly. However, this year the vests have come back with a retro twist, available in bolder patterns and playful colours. Even though you do not have to layer these pieces, it adds a sophisticated look for those more formal plans.

Knitted dresses

Just because the sun is hiding away it does not mean our legs have to hide away for the whole season too. Knitted midi dresses are an essential for this autumn, paired with a pair of laced up ankle boots and a leather jacket it takes knitwear and makes it chic. There’s also a variety of necklines to choose from including polo and sweetheart. As well the midi length highlights your curves and keeps you warm whilst remaining feminine. 

Knitted Trousers

You may think knitwear is just for our top halves, however a style appearing from many brands this season are knitted trousers. They have been seen appearing as part of a co ord, which can be dressed down to lounge around in with style or paired with some chunky trainers and statement jewellery for a day out.

Puff sleeved jumpers

Even though we are enjoying these new forms of knitwear, you can’t beat a classic cosy jumper to wrap up in. One style which has been repeatedly popping up are the puff sleeved knits which are guaranteed to help you make a statement with their extravagant details adding volume to a basic jumper. You can either show off this trend subtly or go all out with an extreme balloon sleeve.  

Cut out knits

The cut-out trend is one which has been seen everywhere this past spring/summer season and has been adopted by many brands. However, it is not just constricted to these summer months, it is being brought into the following season with us. This detailing has been seen appearing on jumpers, skirts, and dresses whether it’s on the neckline or placed at the back, it is a chic look we can expect to see a lot of this autumn.

The heatwaves are finally over, and cloudy skies are back again. In despair for a hot cup of tea to snuggle next to, getting outside can seem the opposite of fun when our wardrobes are still full of summer dresses, jumpsuits, and skirts. But do not despair – welcome in your outfit layering as a styling technique, that will keep you both fashionable and warm this season.

Designers have included in their looks summer pieces (such as bralettes or corsets), accompanied by layers of knits, coats, and shirts on top or underneath. While Burberry and Fendi kept structured corsets on top of knits or relaxed blouse, Jacquemus gave us a hint of summer with a bralette peeking out of an open cardigan and an undone cropped puffer jacket. Chanel has also adopted an undone look to spice up an autumn outfit: a sheer, lace top is revealed underneath an open shirt and coat.

Blazers and suits make for amazing timeless pieces to utilize when experimenting with layering. Dolce & Gabbana and Versace opted for suits when layering an outfit. Versace has showcased multiple layers in their looks by using colour blocking, while Dolce & Gabbana kept their looks neat and classy with the same head-to-toe pattern.

Saint Laurent showed us that a mini leather skirt can easily be paired with knee-high boots and an oversized blazer to keep warm and stylish. Prada has also not given up on skirts by adding layers to the top half of the body: a shirt is classily paired with a knit on top. For a modern twist, the look is kept monochrome and completed by an oversized blazer on top of all the other clothes, hinged at the waist with a statement belt.

While the runaway can be a true inspiration, gripping a technique such as layering can be daunting. To be sure that you achieve your desired look, we have selected four outfits that are compiled of different amounts of layers and colour palettes – while we love beige and black for autumn, we believe that they are not ruling the season this year.

Layer Look 1

Colour blocking is the best way to show the multitude of layers your outfit has. But being colourful does not mean the opposite of a classic look. A midi skirt paired with a fine-knit turtleneck and a crisp white shirt is the perfect office combo. Keep it simple by pairing the outfit with minimal jewellery and a white envelope bag. Finish the look with daring yellow knee-high boots.

Shirt: Maison Margiela, Cut underarm button-up shirt, (£570.00)

Skirt: Balenciaga Pleated elastic skirt (£1075)

Boots: Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Yellow Kline Boots, (£900,00)

Scrunchie: Jil Sander, Hair scrunchie, (£170,00)

Layer Look 2

Suits are a staple of our autumn wardrobe and they are the easiest piece to utilize for layering. Usually, we like to pair them with a coat in the same colour for a neat look. This classic look can be accessorized with a vintage-inspired bag, such as the popular Staud bag and gold jewellery – you can use a modern chain instead of a dainty necklace for a more powerful and modern outfit. Finish the look with a masculine shoe – we absolutely love Tod’s brogues.

Coat: Toteme Studio, Annecy coat camel, (£800.oo)

Blazer: Baum Und Pferdgarten, Bryony fi5ed blazer, (£422,00)

Top: Cami NYC, The Everly lace-trimmed silk-charmeuse camisole, (£185.00)

Earrings: Chloe, Gold Darcey Baroque Earrings, (£415.00)

Necklace: Laura Lombardi, Gold Calle Necklace (£250.00)

Belt: Laura Lombardi, Amara gold-plated belt (£420.00)

Layer Look 3

Even with layering, you can still achieve a sexy look. A fitted jumpsuit paired with with back knew high boots will enhance your figure. For extra warmth, add a classic shirt underneath the jumpsuit, keeping the sleeves undone – they will reveal your motorbike inspired gloves (we did not expect that either). To define the waist, add a statement belt. To finish the look, pair it with sunglasses, a pouch bag, and a khaki leather coat.

Coat: H&M Imtation Leather Jacket, (£49.99)

Shirt: Aspesi, Oversized striped shirt, (£204.00)

Jumpsuit: Galvan, Signature corset jumpsuit, (£995,00)

Sunglasses: Dior, Tortoiseshell DiorLink1 Sunglasses, (£320,00)

Earrings: Miu Miu, Star motif drop earrings (£265.00)

Layer Look 4

If you are just starting to experiment with layering, we recommend to always go for a statement, warm coat that can be paired with a basic T-shirt. You can look effortlessly sexy by going for a leather midi skirt and black high heels to accompany the outfit. Keep your makeup minimal by adding some sunglasses.
