AW24 Trend Guide
Whether you’re seeking that one iconic item, or want to overhaul your wardrobe with a hot new trend, you’ll find it all at McArthurGlen this season, and for up to 60% less than the highstreet.
CHECKS
Instant Checks Appeal
They might hail from the Scottish Highlands, but this season’s checks are designed for elegant urban living as brands from Chloe to Burberry via Acne Studios experimented with head-turning tartan patterns. While the colours on the runways were understated, the silhouettes were big and blown up, with oversized double-breasted coats by the likes of Maje, and maxi skirts and dresses by Sandro and Sessun offering some of the season’s strongest looks. Of course, if you’re pattern shy, you can add a slither of tartan by way of a scarf by American Vintage, but the real fun is had in head-to-toe checks, whether clashing or coordinating. Look for neutral colours and moody Fall hues to which you can add a bright pop of pink or yellow to create a stunning layered look.
CHECK SELECTION
FALL COLOURS
Strong Lines and Moody Hues
Every season tends to have a colour story and so it is with AW24, which has fully embraced the moody romanticism of Fall tones. Illustrious brands such as Ferragamo, Dries Van Noten, and Saint Laurent all doubled down on autumnal colours such as aubergine, olive green, taupe and mustard. Rich and textural, they were largely applied to strong tailored silhouettes, making for a powerful sense of femininity. From a stunning oxblood double-breasted suit by The Kooples to sharp midi dresses, chunky knitwear and mini skirts. Complement these with vintage-inspired shoes and knee-high boots by Vanessa Bruno, and finish the look with a sleek leather clutch for a smorgasbord of texture.
FALL COLOURS SELECTION
SHINE ONE
Light Up in Electric Eveningwear
Molten metallics and shiny embellishments were lighting up the runways at the likes of Alberta Ferretti and Ulla Johnson this season, as eveningwear took on a seductive shiny tone. Striking midi dresses and red-carpet-ready ball gowns all came with a dose of metallic magic, accompanied by statement necklines and leather stilettos. Gold, silver, and bronze midi dresses by the likes of Guess bring an electric brand of confident femininity to eveningwear looks, underscored by glittering ankle boots by Maje. These looks are all about maximising metallic textures, so contrasting them with leather stilettos, feather frills, or faux fur trims is a good way to turn up their volume. There’s never been a better time to shine.
