With autumn on its way, it’s time to start thinking about ways to keep out the cold. Scarves and hats are tried-and-true basics when it comes to fighting off a chill, but it never hurts to expand your repertoire. We’ll walk you through the season’s trendiest items, with tips on how to incorporate them into your daily look.
A Modern Touch: Side Stripe Trousers – Adding just a hint of athleticism to your look, the side stripe trouser has been en vogue since last season. From classic jeans to slinky leggings and palazzo pants, various trouser styles have been spotted sporting a long stripe of colour on the outer leg. You might be thinking that it makes look like you just left the gym, but there are actually many ways to style this trend: with cute sneakers and a blazer for a casual-chic effect, for example, or perhaps with heels (e.g. sock-fit ankle boots) and a white tailored shirt for something more sophisticated.

A Classic: The Oversized Coat – Coats and jackets are usually worn more for function than fashion, but that doesn’t mean a coat can’t make you look good! This season, the trend is towards cosy-yet-stylish coats with an oversized fit – if they’re printed or brightly coloured, even better. Combine them with your favourite jeans and sneakers, or with an elegant top, heels and your it-bag – anything goes. [Photos: Asos, Nordstrom, Mango]

The Inevitable: Leather – If anything is inevitable in our wardrobes this autumn/winter season, it’s the presence of leather. As the recent catwalk looks by Michael Kors and Loewe have showed us, leather will return this autumn fully charged, in the form of fitted dresses, midi and mini skirts, trousers and, of course, coats. Go for brown tones to ensure versatility and timelessness. [Photos: Topshop, Bershka, Zalando]

The Chic Effect: Winter White– When it comes to defining the colour palette for the colder months, black and grey are usually the heavy hitters. Not so this year, when we expect white to appear in full force – even worn head to toe. Various popular brands, like Zara and Stradivarius, have presented irresistible all-white looks, for example long, white dresses or jumpsuits with fluid designs and very clean lines. Complete the outfit with accessories and boots in the same shade for an unbeatable glamorous look. [Photos: Zara, Mango, Zara]

Dress For Success: Dresses + Boots – If you thought long dresses are only for summer, think again. This year, the idea is to wear long dresses in floral prints combined with dramatic boots, like over-the-knee styles or high, sock-fit boots. The highlight will undoubtedly be the print, with floral designs in autumnal hues. Add a leather biker jacket for some edge, and you’ll have a catwalk-ready look. [Photos: Zara, Zara, Mango]

The Flatterer: “Paper Bag” Trousers – Contrary to what the name indicates, “paper bag” trousers create a flattering silhouette that can even shave a few inches off the waist. The style is also quite comfortable, characterised by soft fabrics, gathered at the waist and tied with a tie in the same tone as the garment. Sporting a straight, simple cut, these trousers are perfect for a casual outing. Pair with mules or clogs and a short-waisted top. [Photos: Asos, Zara, H&M]

Back In Style: Corduroy – Dig deep into that trunk of memories, and find that trusty old corduroy garment you haven’t worn in ages. Direct from the runways of New York Fashion Week, this hardy fabric is taking centre stage again, and can be seen in shop windows in the form of jackets and trousers in a variety of colours. Try combining corduroy trousers with a light-toned sweater or T-shirt in a simple design, to let the corduroy stand out. [Photos: Stradivarius, Mango, Zara]

Your Ally: The Check Jacket – If you’re looking for this year’s undisputed queen of street style trends, look no further than check prints. This autumn/winter, we’ll continue to see checks in every shape and colour, but the Prince of Wales check will dominate as a classic. Our advice: Get a grey blazer in this print. Versatile and sophisticated, it will ensure that you look impeccable on any occasion. All you need a suitable bag, and voilà! [Photos: Zalando, H&M, Asos]

Say YES To: Leopard Prints – Perfect for the autumn/winter season, the animal print trend is here to stay (in fact, it never left). Leopard print will be especially front and centre this season; get a skirt, blouse or trousers in this print and combine it with more basic garments in white, beige or black, allowing the print piece to take the spotlight.

The Accent: A Touch Of Colour – Just because the winter sky is black and grey doesn’t mean we have to stick to the same palette! In addition to adding white to your look, try giving your outfits a more vibrant touch this season with bright colours like red or orange, as we’ve seen on jackets and coats at Calvin Klein. Feeling even more daring? Reach for neon tones. Wear them with black basics to achieve harmony in your look. [Photos: Asos, Zara, Asos]
