The colder months are arriving upon us, but that doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our style!

While bundling up in as many layers as possible and throwing a coat over everything can make us feel a little meh, there are still ways to express yourself and stay on trend; you just have to get a little creative.

This season, we’ve taken a look in every corner of the world wide web to find what styles, looks and fashion items are predicted to be all the rage this Autumn and Winter.

From shimmering metallics and textured fabrics to grey knits and leather jackets, there’s a little something for everyone.

Here’s all of the trends to add to your 2023 A/W mood board!

Long Skirts

The maxi skirt is going nowhere. This Y2k staple has been back in force for quite some time and shows no signs of disappearing – also making a prominent appearance in trend predictions for this season!

Sheer Fabrics

Sheer, delicate fabrics were huge a few years ago, and now they’re making a comeback. They’re great for layering and playing around with – just don’t forget your jacket!

Red, Red, Red

The colour of A/W 2023? It’s red! Hot on the runway and a serious staple this season, red signals confidence, desire, and passion. Be bold with it!

The Trenches

We’re back in the trenches! Best part about a good trench coat is you can whack it on over a cosy ‘fit and immediately feel chic. Et voila!

Pleating, Gathering & Ruching

A common thread on all of the runway looks for this season? Materials that are pleated, ruched, gathered, bunched up, ruffled – you name it! Don’t shy away from interesting textures; they’re in.

Suited & Booted

Popping up frequently on the cat walk were laidback office looks – denim jeans or slacks paired with blazers, sneakers or boots, and a lot of white blouses. All wardrobe staples!

So there you have it – all of the trends to hop on if you want to be cosy in style this year.

Just don’t be surprised if you still catch us wearing the same ankle length puffer coat every day for the next four months…we aren’t making any promises!
