Runway to reality: Autumn’s top trends
Looking to update one’s wardrobe between now and the start of Autumn can be a bit challenging when trying to find the right, trendy pieces. Here are a few of the best Autumn trends that will transform any wardrobe.
Faux fur
Cropped jackets, coats, or even unique pairs of pants, faux fur has made a significant comeback. Faux fur not only adds a touch of classic style and class but also provides warmth on chilly Autumn mornings.
Faux fur women’s jackets and coats from Marcs are also exceptionally versatile, and can be dressed up or dressed down, and can be paired with pants, a skirt, or even a Summer dress.
Brown
Much like every season, this Autumn has a signature colour. Brown is easily one of the best and most versatile colours out there, as it can be paired with almost anything, and whether it is shoes, pants, or a coat, there are several ways to use it in an outfit.
To truly embrace the trend, adopting monochromatic brown looks proves incredibly stylish and sleek, matching with the season perfectly.
Soft & slouchy bags
The days of structured bags are gone, and the era of the soft and slouchy bag is here. Not only are these bags chic, but the larger size and slouchy nature also means they are a bit more versatile compared to regular bags.
Additionally, experimentation with the colors, materials, and hardware of the bag is possible, and there are plenty of designers and labels creating truly unique slouchy bags that most definitely haven’t been seen before.
Animal print
Once a staple in fashion, animal print, especially leopard print, lost a bit of its shine over the past few years. However, it is back and better than ever, and one of the trendiest patterns to wear this Autumn.
For those hesitant to fully embrace leopard print, the trend can still be adopted by opting for accessories such as a leopard print bag, neck scarf, or shoes.
Stripes
If leopard print isn’t for everyone but a statement pattern is still desired, opting for stripes is a viable choice. They are back for this Autumn, and this subtle and straightforward touch can easily add an entirely new dimension to one’s wardrobe and outfits.
For those seeking items that are easy to style, tops featuring one or two stripes that create colour blocks are recommended. These types of tops can be styled with neutral pants or skirts, offering a pop of colour without becoming overwhelming.
Capes
There is no more fun and unique way to keep the Autumn chill away than with a cape. Once standard a hundred or so years ago, the cape fell out of fashion, but that is true no more, as they have exploded in popularity as of late.
Capes offer a unique styling opportunity as there is no worry about being held back by a coat that hides one’s look. Choosing a neutral cape and pairing it with a bright and bold look offers balance and allows for self-expression without the look being too overwhelming.
Dressing for autumn tips
Now that a few of the best Autumn trends have been identified, here are a few tips for dressing for this sometimes tricky season.
Layer
The first thing to remember is that layering is beneficial during Autumn. Dressing for a season where temperatures can fluctuate from cold to quite warm in a few hours means preparedness is essential.
Layering ensures warmth in the mornings and evenings when it is a bit chilly, but also allows for the removal of a few items to maintain comfort when temperatures rise, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
Scarves
Scarves are another brilliant addition to a wardrobe, and to almost any outfit. They are perfect for keeping the chill away and can easily be removed once it gets too hot. Keeping the scarf light and colorful ensures that it is not only practical but also adds a fun touch to the look.
Raincoat
If a jacket is needed, opting for a raincoat or something that is water-resistant is advisable. Autumn brings rain to many parts of the world, and when combined with cooler temperatures, it’s essential to have something that will not only keep warm but also dry.
Footwear
When it comes to footwear, one can never go wrong with a classic ankle boot. Not only are they super-stylish and comfortable, but they are also practical. These boots keep feet warm and protect ankles from potential slips on ice or frost, which most definitely start forming as Winter approaches.
Mix seasons
Considering Autumn brings mixed weather and temperatures, mixing seasons when it comes to clothing choices is a no-brainer. For example, pairing a Summer dress with a coat offers the best of both warmth and comfort.
