Scarlet Fever
How elegance is emerging from the shadows.
Like something out of a spy film, the all-black look brings a severe and authoritative aesthetic to AW25 wardrobes, using sleek silhouettes to create an understated sense of luxury. Designers like Tommy Hilfiger and French Connection have crafted single-breasted blazers, longline leather coats, and patent leather shoes for a commanding look, combining interesting textures to add depth to the colourless canvas. This is a trend that prefers a smart tailored look, using sharp lines to cut a dynamic figure. The natural shine of a leather coat by Calvin Klein or a pair of chunky leather derbies by Carvela can be beautifully offset by a textural black knit. Best thing of all, this is a trend that doesn’t require too much wardrobe planning, since the only prerequisite is to make it black!

Check Mate
Good girls have plaid attitudes.
Plaids ignite AW25 with vibrant, modern energy, reimagining classic prints for the urban sophisticate. Designers like Barbour and White Stuff showcase winter checks with pops of bold accents in everything from wool coats and tailored jackets to punchy mini skirts and full-length dresses. These multi-seasonal pieces pair beautifully with vintage check scarves, adding a swish of texture and sustainable statement. Stick to darker plaid hues with bright accents for maximum impact, and double-down on the trend with a contrast plaid belt or pair of kitten heels by Dune for multi-check splendour. Also, don’t forget to look in vintage stores for heritage check pieces like old Burberry shirts that you can bolster your plaid supplies with.

Walk On The Wild Side
Untamed luxury for the wild child.
From leopard to snakeskin, AW25’s animal prints roar with bold sophistication. Designers such as French Connection have brought glossy patent trench coats, heeled boots, and midi skirts to life in patterns and tones that honour the beauty and the muted colour palette of the savannah. Leather is the preferred canvas for these natural artforms, creating statement pieces that will last a lifetime. If you want to dip your toe into the trend, then heeled leather boots by Carvela are the way to go, or opt for a print blouse underneath a sleek suit to give a hint of your wild side. If you tend to wear neutral tones such as cream, then an animal clutch or shoulder bag by Dune will really turn heads in the urban jungle.
