]]> As the summer heat slowly walks out leaving us with just hot summer girl memories in our hearts, we enter a darker and more mysterious season of Autumn/Winter. While some brands such as Celine or Dion Lee might have left us thinking that we need to hide our red heels and pink skirts, there is nothing to worry about as those vivid summer colours are not going anywhere. As seen in most of the catwalks this year, bright colours are trendier than ever. Designers such as Valentino, Prada or Marques’ Almeida are giving us a variety of accessories and clothes to choose from and we are here to give you all the details.

Pink

If you loved wearing pink this summer, you don’t need to give up on it just yet as quite a few designer brands kept the colour for the upcoming season. Designer brand Jacquemus gave us everything we need for the season. From a head to toe bright pink outfit styled with an orange bag worn by Yumi Niu to a very hot pink fuzzy sweater worn by Duncan Rincon – Jacquemus has it all. However, if you are keen for something more settle in the pink colour palette, Marques’ Almeida has plenty of looks. Particularly, pink satin dress styled with pair of pink sandals – simple yet very stylish.

Yellow

It’s not a secret that yellow is a true autumn colour that blends in with the colours of the trees. This year yellow is very hot, especially when it comes to small details. We are very in love with Loewe’s autumn/winter collections that offer a variety of yellow accessories that will bring your outfit to life. Loewe presents a few pairs of yellow heels along with yellow bags, belts and other yellow details that are a must–have for the upcoming season.

Red

The colour red is one of the bravest colours of the season that is literally everywhere and you won’t survive without it. Red is perhaps the most popular runway colour that could be found in almost every autumn/winter collection this year. Michael Kors red oversized leather jacket combined with a simple red turtle neck dress and pair of red heels worn by Bella Hadid must be one of the many memorable looks of runway. And in case the leather jacket doesn’t feel right, Valentino designed an oversized red scarf with fringes (very trendy this season) on the bottom worn by Yeop Kim. We are sure, red is definitely something you want in your wardrobe this year.

Purple

Purple can definitely be considered one of the most popular colours of the season. Designers such as Valentino have several looks that are screaming autumn/winter yet look so bright and exciting. We are obsessed with Valentino’s Purple trench coat styled over the green coloured jumpsuit to bring more life to the outfit worn by Gibril Igale. If that doesn’t seem convincing, Prada’s purple leather boots worn by Taira are definitely a must-have to keep you stylish in autumn/winter.

Blue

As expected, cold colours are also popular this autumn/winter season but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring! Blue was definitely noticeable on the runways of Saint Laurent and Jacquemus. Quinn Mora on a runway for Jacquemus wearing blue west, one-shoulder top paired with brown shorts, shoes and a bag, and of course, blue socks to finish the outfit (and it’s such a look for the autumn/winter season). And in case you need some jewellery, Saint Laurent has quite a few pieces of blue coloured jewellery to offer that go well with other popular colours of the season.

Lockdown 3.0. Back again. Chances are you have a stocked wardrobe of tracksuit bottoms, tie dye t-shirts and oversized hoodies from the first lockdown. But now we all have to face facts that we are in this for good… again… as going ‘out-out’ has become the new ‘in-in’. Instead of spending your cash on nail and lash appointments we so desperately crave, we are drowning our lockdown blues in what we know best. Clothes.

The Silk Pyjamas

Perfect for those days that feel like a Sunday. The days when you just want to sit on the sofa in your pj’s. A silk pyjama set, slippers and an eye mask make the ideal trio for a day of lounging in style.

Comfy and Cool

The outfit for all lockdown occasions, whether it is a zoom meeting, a daily walk in the park, visit to essential shops or watching your favourite series. A pair of knitted trousers, paired with a classic t-shirt and a velvet headband, the perfect hybrid of casual and sophisticated.

Activewear

Whether it is for a home workout or just effortless style and comfort? Who cares. Workout clothes matched with a hoodie and a beautiful hairclip can be the ideal outfit for around the house and is extremely versatile for working out or just working.

Going out in the house

For the days when, for your own sanity, you feel like dressing up, but have nowhere to go. Maybe you are having withdrawals from seeing your friends at the bar. Slip into something glamorous for cocktails in the kitchen. The perfect go-to is, a leopard print midi dress, Doc Martens and some gold jewellery.

As probably many of you, I started off this self-isolation by decluttering my wardrobe. The feeling of creating a clean space and getting rid of the old is something really liberating for both, mind and soul. And a good mindset is essential during those rough times and the perfect base for the upcoming weeks.I usually start by taking everything out of the wardrobe. That way I can get a fresh start – an empty ward-robe like a plain canvas, that is ready to be filled.

But what should I fill it with?Going through the huge amounts of clothes and making the first keep and toss piles, I soon started to realise what really matters. What I want to keep. What, no matter what situation is to be faced, always makes a good companion: the wardrobe staples. The classic pieces that truly stick around.

Since we, at VOIR, do not only want you to be well aware of the latest trends in the wonderful worlds of fashion, beauty, and arts, but we are constantly daring to be different.We want to give you something unique and a bit more than your usual fashion magazine. So let us start off with a little back story on the ‘Classic Wardrobe Basics’. They are timeless and chic, characterised by perfect cuts, good materials and neutral tones. There are a few that can be considered as classics, but if I had to choose only eight pieces to wear for the rest of my life, it would be the following…Little spoiler before we get started: we are not re-inventing the wheel and you have probably all heard of those items before, but we just want to give you some ‘food of thought’, before you start with decluttering or your next ‘online shopping trip’.

The Little Black Dress.

In the mid-20s no other than Gabrielle Chanel launched a long-sleeved crepe dress and made the colour black, which has been mainly used by poverty at that time, popular amongst all social classes. It is simple and sober, yet elegant and cool and can be worn day or night, sporty or chic. It comes in all shapes, lengths, styles and materials and is therefore perfect for every kind of body type.

Dress 1: Topshop Black Ruched Satin Slip Dress (£29)

Dress 2: Missguided Black Puff Sleeve Ruched Dress (£28)

Dress 3: Pretty Little Thing Black Ruched Mesh Bardot Bodycon Dress (£18)

The White T-Shirt.

The white tee has been worn by workers, however, it became popular after Marlon Brando and James Dean wore it in civil context on the big screen. Soon after, the garment was used as a plain canvas, to promote ideas, slogans, brands or political movements. It is so easy yet so diverse and truly the joker piece underneath them all. Just think of it: casual with jeans on a daily basis, work-appropriate with a blazer or cool by adding a leather jacket.

T-Shirt 1: Weekday Forever T-Shirt (£8)

T-Shirt 2: Pretty Little Thing Basic White Short Sleeved Crop T-Shirt (£5)

T-Shirt 3: Weekday Huge T-Shirt (£18)

The Blue Jeans.

It is thanks to Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss that the denim classic, which has initially been introduced for factory workers, exists. Starting from the 70s, the classic denim became the uniform of youth, a symbol of casual wear and latest after designers, such as Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, introduced them in their collections, jeans found their way to our wardrobes and hearts.

Jeans 1: ASOS DESIGN Farleigh high waisted slim mom jeans with slash knee rips (£35)

Jeans 2: Topshop Bleach Split Hem Parallel Straight Jeans (£42)

Jeans 3: Stradivarius mom jean with stretch in washed blue (£19.99)

The Trench Coat

First invented as a raincoat for soldiers during WW1 by the fashion house that is most known for it, Burberry, the trench shortly afterwards found popularity anywhere. It is a statement piece and safe to say, that it definitely makes a look. Just throw over a trench and instantly look put together.

Coat 1: Pretty Little Thing trench coat in red croc vinyl (£55)

Coat 2: Nasty Gal I’m That Girl Faux Fur Collar Trench Coat (£150)

Coat 3: ASOS DESIGN high shine faux fur collar trench coat in mint (£85)

The Leather Jacket

Irving Schott launched the first leather jacket, also called ‘perfecto’, in the late 20s. Legend says that the name origins from a good Cuban cigar, the perfecto. Throughout the years the classic version got some alterations. The biker jacket was introduced and soon after became a symbol of rebels. The leather jacket is THE item that makes every outfit look cool: a floral summer dress immediately gets some spice and combined with the little black dress and some red lipstick and you are ready for a night out.

Jacket 1: Zara Oversized Biker Jacket (£59.99)

Jacket 2: Topshop White Fringed Leather Jacket (£225)

Jacket 3: Mistress Rocks ‘Inception’ Black Cropped Biker Jacket (£75)

The Blazer

This garment has several stories mentioning its first appearance, however, it is for sure that the origin lies in the mid-19th-century British boating culture. The blazer comes in many different colours and styles but it definitely is THE item that makes everything look chic. Take a pair of denim jeans and a white tee, put on a pair of pumps, throw over a blazer and you can go straight off to that meeting at work.

Blazer 1: ASOS DESIGN premium sleeve drama cropped jacquard suit blazer (£65)

Blazer 2: Arket Oversized leather blazer (£290)

Blazer 3: ASOS EDITION double breasted wedding blazer in satin (£95)

The Black High Heels

Although heeled shoes were first worn by horseback-riders and man to impart status, high heels, as we know them today, became fashionable during the 50s, especially because of Christian Dior and his collaboration with Roger Vivier. Today a women’s wardrobe can no longer do without the classic black high heels. Not do they fit with everything – from jeans to dresses, but they immediately make endless legs and a straight posture.

Heels 1: Topshop Wide Fit Ritz Black Strap High Heels (£36)

Heels 2: Public Desire Harlow Black PU Heeled Mules (£29.99)

Heels 3: Doris Fanny Black pointed-toe stiletto heels ($74.99)

The Black Leather Handbag

In the 20s Gabrielle Chanel invented the Classic Flap, a handbag with straps that made a women’s life easier. A few decades later she decided to spice up this classic accessory and introduced the 2.55, named after its date of creation, February 1955. Although the classic Chanel is probably every girls’ dream and a symbol of status, a basic black leather handbag does its job as well and is a must-have item as it fits with basically everything.

Bag 1: Marc Jacobs The Snapshot camera bag (£335)

Bag 2: Prada panelled nylon and leather mini bag (£675)

Bag 3: Fendi Black Leather bag (£1,490)

Those wardrobe staples have been around for years and they will continue to do so, therefore it surely makes sense to invest in them, but gladly there are some affordable options. We love to check Arket, &other stories, TheOutnet, Uniqlo and Topshop when looking for some good quality pieces that do not break the bank.
