5 best autumn/winter trends to shop now
As the season shifts, so does the promise of a wardrobe refresh. This time, the possibilities are endless - from practical, real-world staples to pieces that spark sophistication. It’s time to invest in what’s next.
If your wardrobe’s feeling a bit lacklustre, consider this your seasonal reset: the autumn/winter 2024 fashion trends are here, and they’re looking sharp. So, what’s in the mix? Preppy is making a triumphant return, with Prada and Saint Laurent leading the charge in crisp shirts, tailored blazers, and trousers that mean business. Meanwhile, grunge and that rebellious “summer brat” edge are still going strong—Miu Miu, Diesel, and MSGM are serving up distressed denim, layered pants, and bold, mashed-up tops. The mantra? Stack those layers. Milan Fashion Week showed us countless ways to create statement silhouettes.
On the accessories front, chunky Fendi boots and Gucci loafers are grabbing attention, alongside minimalist ballet flats and classic Oxfords from Dior, Bottega Veneta, and Dolce & Gabbana. Statement pieces are also having their moment, with neckties and silver jewellery taking centre stage. Color-wise, it’s all about neutrals; Hermès and Ferragamo have made a compelling case for these timeless tones.
Fresh from the autumn/winter 2024 runways, these are the trends our editors can’t wait to wear—both now and in seasons to come. Pro tip: lock them in before everyone else catches on.
Tight Tops
Tight tops have been on the menswear radar for a few seasons, but for autumn/winter 2024, they’re stepping into the limelight. Pro move: pair them with oversized trousers or an A-line skirt to create a balanced silhouette that lets your physique do the talking. This season, it’s all about body confidence.
Layering
Layering for winter may not be revolutionary, but according to the autumn/winter 2024 runways, it’s now an art form focused on shape. The trick? Mix contrasting textures or play with varied hemlines and lengths to achieve a perfectly balanced look.
Cardigans
The cardigan’s strength lies in its versatility—it’s an all-season layer that can effortlessly transition from work to after-hours. Once you find your styling groove, this piece will stay in rotation well into spring, adding warmth and personality to every outfit.
Statement Accessories
Want to elevate your wardrobe? Statement accessories are the answer. Your staple pieces don’t have to be bland; go for items that bring a dose of personality and joy to your everyday fits.
Neckties
From sleek black skinnies to patterned silks and even braided hair versions, neckties made a splash on the autumn/winter 2024 runways, finishing outfits in a way we didn’t know we needed—until now.
