MAJOR LAYERS

PLEATS, PLEASE

CHECK MATE

THANK YOU, IT’S NEW

Yes, we know it’s still warm outside, but consider this your cheat sheet to the transitional trends to try now, from the return of layering to covetable new-season accessories.

Usher in fall’s British heritage mood with tactile textures: think plush corduroy in jewel tones like this emerald midi skirt, authentic denim jeans with exaggerated proportions and silky-soft satin shirts. In a nutshell, fabrics that feel like a comfort blanket when the mercury falls.

The key to mastering the layered look is to blend pieces of different weights in each outfit, for example a delicate blouse over turtle-neck jumper, or a lightweight trench coat with a chunky knit.

PLEATS 2.0

Every closet needs a failsafe skirt and a versatile knife-pleat midi gets our vote. Feminine pleating was spotted on the European catwalks at Balenciaga, Lanvin and Valentino for fall/winter 2018, proving that this ultra-wearable trend isn’t going anywhere in a hurry. Oversized knits keep the look contemporary.

TROPHY BAGS

Not quite ready to transition into fall? Then take baby steps with new-season accessories. From a vintage-inspired mock croc satchel with gleaming gold hardware, to the clean-lined simplicity of this white top-zipped bag, a statement shape has the power to upgrade a simple outfit in an instant.

CHECK IT OUT

Whether you opt for plaid, tartan or Prince of Wales check this season, there’s nothing that says ‘British style’ more than heritage prints. This fall, make the classic fabric feel ultra-modern with up-to-the minute styling. Think oversized tasselled earrings and plum pants for a rich tonal look. A bejewelled velvet bag adds the finishing touch for evening.

WEAR IT WIDE

Bid farewell to your skinny jeans, wide-leg denim is the shape to be seen in this fall. With a high-rise waistband and hip-skimming A-line shape, the silhouette is much more flattering than you might initially think, and makes the perfect companion to the trench coat and court shoe combination – hello London street style.
