As the season is changing and we are transitioning into Autumn/Winter a lot of new trends emerge. This is a rundown of what I’m personally loving and what we’ll be seeing a lot of in these coming months.

Total red looks (head to toe red)
From the legendary Karl Lagerfeld Fendi runway show to the MaxMara high fashion collection the head to toe red is s must. The Givenchy collection was predominantly entirely in this colour pallet making it super bold, feminine, sexy, and intriguing. Go for it you will not regret it!

Glitter, metallics
Metallics were seen in so many shows adding a fresh contemporary twist to classic quilted jackets to the spaced themed Chanel runway.
Isabel Marant and Dolce Gabbana were filled with sequences and sparkles whereas in JW Anderson the metallic in dresses and tops were given a chainmail take, reminiscent of the Paco Rabanne 60’s famous signature.
Glittery boots can be considered a must have of the season and have already spotted in so many runways. The glittery effect of the Chanel boots and the Swarovski shine sparkles of the Yves Saint Laurent will make the stare and the price worth the while.

Plaid
Plaid, check and houndstooth are very popular this season and although no pattern is the same with one another I’m grouping them together since they are originally based within the same contrasting colour tones.
This season we can also see them translated into brighter colours and designers have incorporated a variety of fabrics, from the classic grey plaid suits seen on the Calvin Klein runway to classic coats for the Prada runway collection.
Plaid was also used in Michael Kors dresses, Louis Vuitton jackets and check jumpsuit in Chanel.
Different patterns of plaid and different colours were included in the shows.

Velvet
Velvet will still be strong this season from velvet suits to bags and shoes it is a show stopper textile in different richer brighter colours, ochre yellow, emerald green, navy, burgundy and pink.
Velvet is synonymous with luxury and has been incorporated in many runways including Valentino,
Opening Ceremony, Philip Lim and Luisa Beccaria.

Belt bags
A new entry in accessories are belt bags and another ode to the 90’s I might add.
Slowly being introduced last season and now a statement staple with some of my favourites being the Gucci velvet ones, the studded and to the more edgy, trunk Prada ones.
I’m already deciding which one will be mine.

Suits
Suits are a favourite go to investment piece and if you have not already given it a try now is the time, since suits have come a long way from the work wear appropriate attire.
From plaid to minimal monochrome suits, and lined straight cut designs to blazers that cinch in the waist for a more feminine look.
Combined with crispy white shirts and decorated bows will make a suit stand out and translate it for more formal outings or paired with a slogan t-shirt and some jewellery for every day.

Jeans on jeans
It seems that last year we didn’t get enough of the trend and this year is back on track. The double denim ootd is having a moment but this time the colours of the denim are the same giving it a true all American blue vibe..

Puffy Padded jackets
Oversized puffy jackets are here to make a statement for the Balenciaga bright red jacket to the Tory Burch quilted dresses seem like there are here to stay.
The collections have re-designed and transcended the puffer jackets for 2017 by adding more volume, and more details as well as also using in some cases a more matte fabric instead of the glossy materials we were used to before.
Invest in bright colours for maximum impact.

Vinyl- matrix
Vinyl started making a comeback.
From vinyl trousers, in reds and black, to vinyl coats and skirts.
Glossy vinyl or either patent vinyl combined with brighter or deeper colours can give that effortless cool vibe. The futuristic look that vinyl has to offers gives a sling sexy appearance and you can opt for a full on matrix-looking coat or outfit or if you want to dip your toes in this trend go for trousers or a vinyl looking jacket.

1.Padded jackets :

Comfortable dressing was a huge influence for designers this season. Oversized and cosy - padded jackets combined with wide-leg trousers created the ideal winter outfit. A padded jacket is definitely the finest choice to invest for the winter as it keeps you warm but look uber-cool at the same time.

2. Snow Ready

As seen in Moncler, Gamme Bleu, Lanvin, Balenciaga, Facetasm and Cottweiler the ‘mountain’ outfiy is a big trend for winter 2017-18. Designers presented technical wardrobes of snow-ready style, trying to convince us that ain’t no mountain is high enough.

3. The office

Business outfit is back, with a slightly sinister edge. Think about Wall Street circa 1985 and all the early 90s tv shows but add extra-large shirts and patterned satin neckties (worn a little longer than the usual) and red color as the new black. Workwear maybe, but for 2017 it’s normcore and the anti-skinny pants version of the business outfit.

4.Red

This season feel free to be festive like its Christmas every day. Red is the new black as we mentioned above! Head-to-toe at Dior, red on knitwear at Dries van Noten and normcore red outfits at Balenciaga. The ‘naughty’ color choice has provided a burst of color that electrified the menswear

5. The Supreme x Louis Vuitton bag

The fashion world was shocked when it came out that the 90s skate label from New York with the cult following will collaborate with the most iconic French house! Everyone was super excited to see the result. Two different words became one on the runway and the Supreme x Louis Vuitton red logo, was sold out at the same time;
sending the bag to the top of collectors wish lists for the next ten years.
