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 rich purple, 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 khaki green suit by HUGO to a supremely elegant ox-blood red belted overcoat by Kate Spade, the moody tones extended into sharp midi dresses, chunky knitwear and mini skirts. Complement these with vintage-inspired shoes and knee-high boots by Stuart Weitzman and Browns, and finish the look with a sleek leather clutch.

MAKE A STATEMENT
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 Oak + Fort, and maxi skirts and dresses by Maje and Polo Ralph Lauren 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 Tommy Hilfiger, 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 Levi's; a Perfecto-style leather jacket by AllSaints; a preppy oversized cardigan by Plenty - these are the icons that you can build your wardrobe

SHINE ON
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 Maje and Sandro bring an electric brand of confident femininity to eveningwear looks, underscored by glittering ankle boots by Steve Madden. 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.
