The leaves are golden brown, the Christmas advertisements have started and there’s a chill in the air. It’s officially autumn.
And while there’s an element of sadness in waving goodbye to Summer so soon, the excuse to go shopping for fur coats and thigh-high boots comes, for some, as a complete revelation.
Whether it’s power-suits, moody florals, vampy vinyl or clashing checks, there’s a trend out there for everyone.
Check out our lowdown on some of hottest runway looks around this autumn.

Vampy Vinyl

PVC and vinyl are materials that have been around for a number of years now, and they won’t be disappearing anytime soon.
From Ralph Lauren’s tulip style plastic dress to Balenciaga’s bondage-style winter coats, there’s nothing sexier at the moment than shine.
Look to high street stores such as Topshop and River Island for affordable takes on this punky aesthetic. Mix up the look with sporty trainers, fleecy jumpers and baggy ‘mom’ jeans.

Moody Florals

Moodily romantic, this autumn’s floral prints are vamped up with latex leggings, gothic lace and Victorian-inspired silhouettes.
The perfect transitional trend from summer to autumn, this look is one that’s set to be around in the next coming months.
High street stores such as Topshop and Zara have already jumped on the bandwagon, releasing collections inspired by a multitude of looks on the A/W 2019 runways.

Power Suits

The over-arching trend on this year’s runway shows included head-to-toe colour, with 80s-style power suits in shades of magenta, banana yellow and pistachio.
Looks from Fendi, Saint Laurent and Gucci had a deep bench of unapologetically eye-catching hues for autumn paired with crayon-coloured tights and matching heels.
Opt for voluminous styles – oversized blazers, billowy trousers and huge puffed sleeves – for an updated take on this trend.

Clashing Checks

When it comes to houndstooth and checks this season, anything goes. Mix florals with chequered patterns and a pop of colour for a fashion-forward look that’s both wearable and on-trend. Match your hat to your trousers or skirt this season for a modern take on this traditional look.
