Whilst the weather has been playing tricks with us and helping us forget that Autumn is here, fashion says something different. It’s time to start updating those wardrobes for the new season. Here are 4 easy trends you can tap into by adding just a few items to your existing wardrobe.
Minimalism
Everyone’s favourite excuse to live in basics, the minimalism trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Keep your palette neat with neutral grey, white, black, navy and perhaps a touch of camel for a wardrobe that slots together effortlessly. You can add some interest by layering simple shapes in fabrics and making sure to invest in quality staples. The ultimate minimalist trend pieces? An expertly cut coat or a beautifully simple wrist watch.
Earthy Tones
The old faithful Khaki is joined this season by some new earthy colours. Camel, rust and sage tones are set to be everywhere for Autumn/Winter. Ease yourself in gently with a camel sweatshirt or rust tee, layered under your trusty parka. Or go bold with a statement rusty orange suede jacket. It’s the easiest move towards colour for those neutral loving gents and most pieces will slot easily into your existing palette.
Layering
One to mix with your new earthy tones, layering is not only practical in the colder months, but super stylish too. Pile the new season ‘shacket’ over polo necks and top off with a duffel or use a scarf to build layers over your wool coat. It’s all about alternating fabrics and textures so don’t be afraid to add the new season’s shearling and wool into the mix.
Sportswear
It’s no secret that the big brands of the 90s are back with a vengeance. If all out 90s kid style isn’t quite your thing, you can dip your toe in the trend by throwing on some cult trainers (Gazelle, Stan Smith, Superstars, Air Force) with your trusty jeans. Want to take it to the next level? Invest in a weekend friendly pair of vintage style track pants. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll find yourself wearing them outside of the house.
