September 16, 2021 at 06:09AM There’s something so incongruous about writing about autumn/winter fashion trends when the temperature gauge is hitting 20º outside. But such is the nature of the fashion world: We’re always one step ahead of the game. However, now that autumn officially begins in a couple of weeks time, there’s a part of me that is enjoying the prospect of cooler climes and the cosy layers and fabulous coats that come with it. I’ve always been a cold-weather dresser at heart. So allow me to be your shopping guide through the sartorial maze that is the autumn trend lineup. As always, I've shopped out each look with designer, high-street and vintage options, and so if you’re a pre-loved novice, maybe take the upcoming season as a chance to dabble in second-hand. I’ve done all the work for you. My selected trends hail from the…

September 16, 2021 at 06:05AM Welcome to The Great Try-On. With autumn on the horizon, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best autumn pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the most foolproof way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to some successful purchases.I am a Zara fan through and through. Yes, I am a fashion editor, and stalking Zara’s site is technically a part of my job, but do I also browse Zara in my free time? Yes, of course I do. Beyond the approachable price point, which typically results in an obnoxiously full online shopping cart at any given time, Zara always manages to have exactly what I am looking for. Whether it’s the latest…

September 16, 2021 at 06:00AM At some point in the recent past, someone decided to merge the two worlds of athleisure and Princess Di together and come up with the term ‘sporty and rich’. Unlike the aforementioned atheleisure trend, this isn’t just about adding a pair of Adidas trackies to a white shirt or some other similar iteration, this is about channeling a classic sportswear piece but as if you’ve just finished a game of tennis or heading out of a swanky members club gym. Right now the piece that epitomises this look is the rugby shirt for women. It’s been bubbling away for a while. Ganni created an orange and black version adorned with sparkly buttons a couple of seasons ago, which I spotted on Abisola Omole. And I’ve also seen Lucy Williams wearing a short-sleeved version which is just as cool when worn with…

September 16, 2021 at 06:00AM Trends might come and go, but the overall feeling and mood of each season is very consistent. Spring is always colourful and optimistic, summer is bolder and more experimental and winter is a tale of two moods: hibernating and partying. Autumn however tends to be a moment to make sensible purchases, taking stock of what is and isn’t in your wardrobe. September is the time when people invest in classic staples, such as blazers, boots, coats and cashmere. Items that will be building blocks to any wardrobe throughout the year.They might be simple but we find these items tend to require the most consideration, as you want to be sure you’ve got the best quality and cut to ensure these pieces will really last and do the job. On the high street, & Other Stories’ really excels in…
