Five things we saw on the autumn shows
Soft tailoring, sand and camel, bare feet and bold sleeves: what the runways say about this winter.
Every season the shows set the tone for what we wear a few months later. Here is what we noticed this autumn, and how to wear it without dressing like a runway.
1. Soft tailoring
Wide trousers and long, unstructured jackets in the same colour: a suit that feels like pyjamas. Try a blazer over matching trousers.
2. Sand, camel and cream
Warm neutrals from head to toe, one shade apart. A camel coat is the easiest way in.
3. One strong colour
A cobalt coat or a burnt orange blazer, and everything else quiet.
4. Statement sleeves
Volume moves to the arms: puffed, gathered, longer than the hand.
5. Knit everywhere
Chunky wraps and snoods worn as a hood: see our knitwear.
