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 high-street.
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 Phase Eight, Coach and Mint Velvet 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 to a supremely elegant khaki green belted overcoat by Jigsaw, the moody tones extended into sharp midi dresses, chunky knitwear and mini skirts. Complement these with vintage-inspired shoes and knee-high boots by Dune and Mint Velvet, and finish the look with a sleek leather clutch for a smorgasbord of texture.
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 M&S, and maxi skirts and dresses by Jigsaw and French Connection 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 Calvin Klein, 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.
TIMELESS STAPLES
Cash in on Investment-Grade Fashion
Everyone loves newness, but this season designers from Bottega Veneta to Christian Dior leaned on some tried-and-tested timeless classics to get their fashion statement across. Classic silhouettes always endure season after season. What’s more, clothing that stands the test of time is naturally more sustainable so what’s not to like?! The key elements to the trend this season are denim, elevated knitwear, leather and trenchcoats, so there is something for everyone. Stone-washed casual jeans by Levis; a Perfecto-style leather jacket by Jigsaw; a preppy oversized cardigan by Mint Velvet - these are the icons that you can build your wardrobe
