Autumn/Winter Trends

Although we are still amidst summer and high UV rays, Autumn is just around the corner (yay!). Spending winter in Paris in December/January really makes me wish winter was here. Here's my take on the trends that you might be wearing for the 2019 AW season.

Layering

Layering is all about playing with volume and textures and something everyone can easily do. Pair similar knits and colours for a classic look or patterns for a contrasting look. Balenciaga's 2018 Ready to Wear collection showed us how everyone should be layering their clothes this winter.

Tweed 

The House of Chanel is the bible to how tweed should be worn. It's such a versatile material as it could be a Tweed skirt, tweed jacket, tweed top, tweed bag - the list goes on.

Knee boots

Put your best foot forward with a pair of knee boots. Whether its flat or has a slight heel, it can instantly make your outfit go from casual to going out. If you haven't invested in a pair already, I'd recommend getting one to add to your shoe collection.

One-tone dressing

Although it may take a few outfit changes to get it right, the best way to master one-tone dressing is to do it with tailored pieces - such as a matching jacket and trouser. Using layers of the same colour can create texture and a bold statement.

The Trench
A timeless classic which gives just the right amount of warmth during Autumn and great for layering during the colder months. Burberry is an expert in this department and I think it's something that will always be used in your wardrobe!
