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 to a supremely elegant khaki green belted overcoat, the moody tones extended into sharp midi dresses, chunky knitwear and mini skirts. Complement these with vintage-inspired shoes and knee-high boots, and finish the look with a sleek leather clutch for a smorgasbord of texture.

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 Levi's; a Perfecto-style leather jacket by Reiss; a preppy oversized cardigan by Hobbs - these are the icons that you can build your wardrobe

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 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.
