Add Volume
This autumn, it’s all about turning up the volume and adding serious shape. Balloon sleeves and power shoulders are having a moment, but you can also enhance your seasonal wardrobe with puffball skirts, tiered dresses, and flared trousers. Experimenting with volume is a brilliant way to flatter your body shape and show off your favourite parts. If you’re conscious about your bottom half, for example, a bold shoulder will help to even out your shape and draw attention to your waist and shoulders. The fabulous thing about this trend is that you can interpret it in all kinds of different ways. Go for a casual, daytime look with a fitted long-sleeve crop top and flared jeans, or look for stunning statement blouses or a printed dress for a hot date or a drink with the girls. If you’ve never been brave enough to explore the world of giant sleeves or puffball skirts before, try some different styles, put pieces together and mix and match items to see if this trend ticks the boxes for you.
Plaid And Checks
Every autumn/winter, the catwalks, and window displays are teaming with beautiful checks and plaid patterns. As temperatures drop, and it starts to get dark in the middle of the afternoon, you can’t go wrong with a flash of tartan or a hint of dogtooth. This autumn, plaids have been influenced by punk styling, as well as 60s vibes. Opt for pieces like red and black checked leggings, asymmetric dresses, or tartan mini skirts to give your look a punky feel or invest in monochrome shift dresses and printed jackets for a retro look.
Fringing
For those who love the idea of adventures in the wild west and fans of Boho styling, fringing is a welcome addition to the hotlist for autumn 2020. Fringing is a fabulous way to add texture and movement, and you can embrace this trend in several different ways. Fringed bags provide an instant update to any outfit, while skirts, dresses, and sweaters with fringe detailing are an ideal way to jazz up even the most basic tops and bottoms.
Skirt Suits
Most of us are familiar with the tailored suit, but we tend to automatically think about a jacket and trousers. For autumn, skirt suits are fantastic because they’re a little more versatile, and you can dress for the conditions. If it’s sunny and bright, opt for a blazer or cropped jacket with a floral mini or midi skirt or go for bright colours. If there’s a chill in the air, go for a check or stripe in black, navy, grey, or red.
Autumn is just around the corner, and it’s time to swap shorts and summer dresses for jumpers, boots, and coats. If you’re looking for inspiration, why not use these trends to create a stunning autumn wardrobe?
