Layered Plaid

As temperatures dip, embrace layering with prints and textures. We're seeing so much plaid in-stores from mini skirts and jumpers, to coats and accessories.

Plaid is the perfect balance between preppy and elevated, making them surprisingly versatile for day-to-night dressing and are quickly becoming the wardrobe essential for Autumn Winter 2025, for anyone wanting to look polished with minimal effort.

Maximalism for Minimalists

Minimalism is anything but boring these days. To nail the look introduce textured details from fringe trims, draped fabrics, to sculptural pleats. You can't go wrong with a funnel neck jacket which we’re seeing everywhere right now for a more refined look but still on trend. But keep your palette neutral.

Elevated Tracksuit

Swap weekend joggers for a polished tracksuit you can wear to brunch, a girls day shopping, or even the office. Think tailored silhouettes in luxe fabrics like satin. Pair with ballet flats, a standout tote and your ready to go. Windbreakers - typically assosiated with workout classes have emerged as a stand-out piece for Autumn. Instead of wearing it with gym outfits, swap leggings for chic tailored trousers and statement jewellery.

Colour Block

From Mocha Moose to Tomato Red, we're seeing a host of fresh colours to inject into our wardrobes this season. Wear it head-to-toe or lean into the Colour Block trend and mix vibrant colours with the same undertone (keep cool tones together or go for all brighter hues!) to make a statement.

The Finishing Touches

From layered jewellery and statement shoes to head accessories, the finishing touches to an outfit can sometimes be just as important as the outfit it's self, so you'll feel ready for every moment.

Add personality to any outfit with layered necklaces, pendants and arm cuffs.
Boots for Autumn is not revolutionary, but opt for low sole high knee boot and you'll be on trend and comfy!!
Yes caps are the perfect styling accessories all year round, but why not introduce something a little louder, like a striped berets or fur bucket hat.
