What trends should we expect to see for Autumn 2017?
Dressing for the weather is often difficult, but once the summer has passed and the leaves begin to change, you need some inspiration when it comes to your outfit. Influenced by the excitement of an evening in the city, belted coats, fishnets, and vintage-inspired fur coats are all returning to our wardrobes this season.
Alongside Trilogy Stores, retailers of Rails Clothing, we guide you through the essential fashion trends for Autumn 2017. By following our guide, you’ll be able to make the most of autumnal-chic, and glide effortlessly into the winter months without any fashion faux pas.
Coats with a belt
Belted coats are perfect during autumn when it gets that little bit chillier. It’s the perfect statement piece that’ll keep you warm. Expressing effortless sophistication, the belt adds and extra layer of depth to your coat and helps to define your waistline in a way that is flattering.
Leather trench coats will be a hot look when it’s cold this Autumn, or a statemented fur coat. Depending on your look, the belt can be loose or fastened depending upon your ensemble.
Wide waisted belts are also making an appearance this autumn, alongside the belted coat. Try wearing them over your coat – or add them to an evening dress to help define your curves. Browns, blacks, and reds are colours that aren’t only popular, but help you to channel the natural colours of the season.
Suit the style
By September, the suit is set to go global. Not only does it keep you warm during the colder months, it also produces a look that is powerful.
Pressed double-breasted jackets and elegant slacks are all of the rage this autumn; together with pronounced shoulders and shoulder-width trousers, the suit helps to reappropriate a masculine look for the female fashion-forward. Don’t worry, this isn’t a return of the eighties; it’s power-dressing in 2017.
A deeper shade of blue
During the summer, it’s easy to sport an eye-catching pink or scarlet, but these looks don’t work once the leaves become darker than your clothes, so try wearing dusky and modest blues. Labelled as the new ‘it’ colour, the moody notes incorporated by dark blues within an outfit can really make a lasting impression.
For an outfit that is subtle, yet striking, wear a pale blue shirt with slim-fitting grey trousers. Or, to create contrasts with the environment, try a brighter blue mac to wear over your outfit.
The nylon jacket
For a night out with the girls, the nylon coat is the transitional outwear that you’ve been looking for, sliding perfectly between day to night. Without fear of any wrinkles, this type of coat is similar to a mac, and can be packed away in your suitcase to take to any event without any hassle.
Wear on an evening with a pair of high boots or heels; alternatively – why not wear with a pair of pumps if you’re feeling casual; blacks, browns, and greens are all in this autumn – so wear subtle colours underneath to pull off a look that’s striking without having to make the effort.
