It’s a wild thing
This year’s autumn/winter styles have landed in stores and we already can’t get enough. This season, it’s all about bold prints and outfits that make a statement, with everything you need to embrace your inner wild child and channel that main character energy. Top of the trending styles this season are leopard print denim and camouflage prints, so head to Next, John Lewis and River Island to explore what’s new and transform your wardrobe.
Add a little extra volume
From duvet coats and oversized styles to puffer skirts, jackets and more, it’s safe to say that when it comes to autumn style there’s one major rule that applies: go big or go home. With oversized styles already sure to add volume to any look – from extravagant collars to cape silhouettes – don’t be afraid to take your outfit to the next level with added texture too. Faux fur, feathers, shearling or yarn are all big fabrics for the autumn, and you can shop all the latest trends at Monki and Mango.
Layer it up
Key layer pieces are an absolute must for autumn dressing, and this year the catwalks have been experimenting with layers in lots of fun and exciting ways too. Throw it back to the ‘00s with a skirt layered over jeans or make transitional dressing just a little easier with long, layered skirts coupled with cosy jumpers. Shop what's new at Mango and explore second-hand fashion at Charity Super.MKT to mix and match new layered styles and head to Accessorize to finish your look with the ultimate autumn layers: cosy scarves and patterned tights.
Keep it classic
Plaid, tweeds, herringbone, argyle… classic prints are having a moment. From waistcoats and jumpers to gilets and blazers, there are plenty of ways that you can add this trend into your outfit rotation this season. John Lewis, Next and Phase Eight are your new go-tos for adding the perfect print to your wardrobe collection, while a trip to Levi’s, Crew Clothing and Hollister will provide you with smart and stylish neutrals to pair with your new prints.
Boots, boots, boots
If there’s one thing we need to step out into autumn in style here in Glasgow, it’s footwear that’s ready to take on anything the weather can throw at us. Nothing says autumn footwear quite like a perfect pair of boots, and this season’s hottest trends provide plenty of options for every style. Explore what’s new at schuh and Jones Bootmaker and get ahead with knee-high boots for casual, laid-back style, add a bit of edge with the biker boots trend or keep the rodeo summer vibes going strong with cowboy boots for the new season.
Finish with a pop of colour
There’s nothing like an autumn colour palette to help you feel inspired. This year, expect to see a mix of rich, nature-based tones and saturated brights, as well as bold berry shades and softer pinks popping up across fashion collections all season long. Looking for an easy, chic way of introducing some trending new colours to your autumn outfits? A statement handbag is an absolute must, and Radley London is just the place to visit to pick out your new go-to handbag this autumn.
