Every autumn, one can always count on the same returning trends — trench coats and leopard print, for instance, always make their dependable (and much-anticipated) return. Every autumn, as well, there are always new trends to look forward to, and this year, there are wide belts and cinched waists, soft leather and 70’s plaid, midi skirts & ankle boots, and more. Here are four of our favourites for the Autumn/Winter 2017-18 season …

OH MY LOVE’S LIKE A RED, RED ROSE

While we have never really fallen for the colour red, preferring always the softer, prettier shades of pink, it is the colour of the season and if we were to adopt this trend, there would be no one better to look to for inspiration than TIG style icon Giovanna Battaglia, who pulls off the look perfectly with stripes and heart-shaped sunglasses …

Parisienne in London, Camille Charrière, covers a few AW17 trends in one with this blazer: suiting, tweed, 70’s plaid, broad shoulders, and chocolate brown (which, apparently, is the new black). Plus, when paired with a denim mini and a wicker basket bag, it’s the perfect transition piece from summer to fall …

DRESSING UP

While Athleisure wear doesn’t appear to be showing any signs of receding just yet, this autumn, it looks like things are resetting a little with the return dressing up again. Anytime after six is a good time to slip into something fancier, whether a metallic gold dress or formal velvet; head-to-toe sequins, or a dazzling boot with blue jeans, a crystal-laden shoe with lacy tights, or anything with feathers, it’s the revival of dressing up for going out (or staying in, for that matter) and we couldn’t be happier.

NEO-PEARLS

To be fair, the world’s oldest gem never really goes out of style, for it has always been a classic, even well before Coco Chanel considered pearls de rigueur. Every season, we always see one incarnation or other of it, from the Chanel-inspired Mermaid Pearl Hairpins in 2012 to the Dior double-pearl earring in 2013, to the pearl-embellished blue jean in 2015, which incidentally, is back again. This season, we’re seeing pearls emblazoned on denim jackets and blue jeans, on shoes and ankle boots, and also worn in the more traditional manner, as jewellery. In fact, at our own shop, we’ve just added an entire line of exquisite natural and cultured river pearls …
