This AW25 at centre:mk, style expert Kat Farmer curates an edit celebrating the season’s standout trends: Mad for Plaid, Mocha Mousse, bold Colour Blocking, and statement accessories.
Discover the series below and let Kat guide you through her must-have looks for the months ahead.
Episode 1 | Plaid & Preppy Reinvented
Classic plaid is elevated at John Lewis & Partners, then refreshed with a preppy, playful spin at Mango. The combination of old-school polish and modern energy makes plaid the standout print of the season.
Kat's tip: My favourite way to nail the trend is an Arygle Print. Retro yet undeniably timeless, it’s a pattern I loved in the ’80s and one that still feels effortlessly chic today. Style it alongside your wardrobe favourites.
Episode 2 | Colour Blocking
Discover bold pops of colour at Jigsaw, embracing the Colour Blocking trend, alongside Mint Velvet’s elegant burgundy pieces that define this season’s palette.
Kat’s tip: Keep the rest of the outfit neutral to let these statement shades shine.
Episode 3 | Mocha Mousse
Kat explores Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Colour of the Year, through luxe occassionwear at Reiss, soft knits from The White Company, and standout outerwear at River Island in a range of chocolate and coffee hues.
Kat's tip: Don’t just stick to mocha mousse, dive headfirst into all the coffee and chocolate shades this season.
Episode 4 | The Finishing Touches
Kat completes her edit with standout leather caps and chunky jewellery from M&S, woven bags at Dune that nod perfectly to the season’s colour palette, and seasonal staples at Mango.
Kat's tip: The leather baseball cap is having a moment: sleek, stylish, and perfectly weatherproof. Perfect for navigating the unpredictability of British weather.
