The fashion world has had to reinvent itself for the second year in a row. That’s led to industry changes that are having a direct effect on the fashion trends of tomorrow. As autumn draws closer, designers are already showcasing what to wear when the temperature drops. There are some very clear themes that are dominating the upcoming fashion trends, and the good news is that they are incredibly easy to emulate using existing items for your wardrobe.
If you want to look like you’ve stepped straight from the catwalk this autumn, then here are the trends that you need to know about.
The Ski Chic Look
One of the big obsessions among designers this year has been the ski chic look. Think quilted clothes and the most comfortable parkas, puffer jackets, and jumpsuits. Of course, there’s more of an urban twist to this style, but if your wardrobe has clothes that protect from the elements while being comfortable to wear, then you’re all set. The main driver of this trend is Louis Vuitton, whose Fall 2021 collection is full of ski chic outfits that are sure to inspire you.
The Watch
A lot of attention is on wristwear this year, and with so many options available, you are almost spoiled for choice. From designer watches made by some of the biggest names in the watch industry, such as Marc Jacobs, Hugo Boss, and Seiko, to luxury watches in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and designs, it seems the classic watch is making a comeback. There are, no doubt, teams of psychologists analyzing just why that is. If you want to get in on this trend before, you need to ensure that you are shopping in the right places. To get a genuine designer watch, make sure to shop at places like Chisholm Hunter, which has been selling rare treasures, including fine jewelry, since 1857. While you are here, you could find a matching necklace or earrings to go with it!
The Swinging 60s
The 1960s have been a source of inspiration for designers since the 60s themselves. This year has seen a huge number of big-name designers launching collections that clearly have a swinging 60s inspiration, but this time with a more modern twist. The best thing about these offerings is that they seem to combine a sensual look with an aura of pure good taste. Look at some of the new offerings from names like Fashion East and let them inspire your wardrobe choices.
The Sci-Fi Look
The designers of today are very clearly looking to tomorrow for inspiration. From cosmonauts and astronomers to the downright alien, going for a sci-fi, Life on Mars look is a bold choice that has the potential to end badly. Get inspiration from the Balmain collection, which is taking a more air-force approach to this sci-fi trend. That makes it far easier to emulate and less likely to end in disaster.
Using Lilac
If there’s one colour that’s standing out this autumn, it’s lilac. Purple has always been a fashion-world mainstay for the colder months, but this year the trend is for a softer, more watered-down version. Lilac is an easy colour to pull off too, and goes with almost every other colour. That makes it simple to integrate into your existing wardrobe. Look at the bottom of this page of the Marine Serre Fall Collection to see exactly how much lilac simply works.
Autumn 2021 looks set to be an inventive new chapter in the fashion world. With styles and trends that are easier to take inspiration from than ever, there’s simply no excuse not to look your best as the summer comes to an end and the leaves start to fall.
