FALL STYLE TRENDS FROM AUTUMN

With a slew of fashion shows worldwide comes a massive array of new trends on and off the runway. There is something here for everyone, whether you are layering cut-out tops, bright greens, or cowgirl hats. From street style inspiration to Instagram feeds, we've spotted plenty of garments and aesthetics. We're sure they'll be major players this season. Here are the top style trends spotted at Autumn/Winter 2022 Fashion Weeks. Try not to buy the entire list

1. Color Blocking

Gone are the days of clashing colours being a fashion faux pas – this season, colour blocking is back in a big way. Bold and bright, these clothes are loud and not for the faint of heart. Try mixing warm shades like orange and pink, or stick to cool tones such as green and blue for a refreshing twist. While a duo-chrome ensemble is the most popular choice, throwing a third or fourth hue into the mix adds complexity and an extra bit of oomph to the overall aesthetic. Rather than adding colours to the garments, try a bold hat, bag, or shoes for a pop.

2. Black Cut-Out Tops

As one of the more daring trends of the season, these cut-out tops are an excellent addition to any wardrobe this year. No matter the season, be it summer or winter, this clothing can be worn with numerous pieces to create an exciting ensemble. Try it with a suit, which is the perfect get-up for the office or running around the city – the contrast between the structured tailoring with the strappy and abstract shirt provides the perfect juxtaposition for a transitional season. It also makes for great layering – find something with long or asymmetrical sleeves to keep yourself snuggly when the temperature dips. From a night out to an event during the day, this is an off-duty model look popular with fashion lovers around the globe.

3. Corset Belts

The corset belt trend isn't anything new, but it often makes a comeback every few seasons. This waist-cinching accessory works well with a range of outfits, and this year we're seeing it combined with knits, crops, and separates. Some of the most popular styles come from designers such as Loewe, which accentuate the hourglass shape with a peplum jetting out from the waist. Burlesque styles are also favoured in the fashion community, often sported with t-shirts, roll-necks, and dresses. With such an eye-catching item as part of your outfit, you can avoid adding extra embellishments such as necklaces and earrings.

4. Cowgirl Hats

As cowboy boots became popular, it's only natural that the hats joined the trend, too. This versatile accessory looks great when colour-blocking or accentuating a simple outfit on a day with your friends. Worn with a suit of a similar shade, it can add some extra complexity to a company without feeling too overwhelmed. Slightly camp but totally fashionable, it's become a mainstay for lovers of Gucci's aesthetic. Try it with a mix of tailored shirts, leather jackets, and oversized blazers. The slightly masculine edge will create a fantastic and photo-worthy outfit that will look great on your Instagram grid.

5. Fringing

With a lot of texture and movement, fringe details are an excellent addition to your everyday outfit. You can find jackets, shirts, and skirts with frayed fabric, but a popular choice this season is opting for a co-ord that moves with every step. You can blend this look with other trends on this list, such as colour blocking or green all over – these all work well with this fashion must-have. Try a camel coat with a turtleneck and denim when the temperature drops, or opt for a sweater, fringed skirt, and boots for a perfect fall ensemble. You can rock this look during any season of the year, and it looks great in the photos thanks to its fantastic motion.

6. Green All Over

From Instagram to the streets of Fashion Week, green is the colour of choice this season. Be it lime or emerald, the tone has taken over collections at Bottega Veneta, Ganni, and many others. Since it has become the ultimate shade of the year. Style it with various tones of the same palette, or you can go head-to-toe with a single hue. Try it as a dress, a blazer and roll-neck combo, or a pair of patchwork trousers with a casual T-shirt. Whether you choose to wear Veneta Tire boots that kick off the trend or something in a solid hue, you will certainly stand out for all the right reasons.

7. Head to Toe Denim

Sure, the double-denim trend has come and gone and certainly comes off as a fashion faux pas at times, but this can be an incredible look when done correctly. This season, opt for an oversized jacket and jeans with patchwork or a vintage flare – flares are a popular choice with fashion darlings. For a more '60s look, try a mini skirt with coloured stockings or a long coat. You don't have to stick to a monochrome look, either – mix different fabric tones for a more intricate style. What was once referred to as the Canadian tuxedo has become a staple in everyone's wardrobe.
