Top trends this AW15

                       

Autumn & Winter are undeniably the best time of the year. Each to their own on this, but in my opinion there is nothing better then wrapping up in layers upon layers with a big winter jacket thrown on top. Winter fashion is much easier than summer, the basic rule is the more layers the better, which is pretty easy to follow. In summer us girls have to worry about smooth legs, a nice tan, painted toe nails and beach hair, in winter this all goes down the drain (lets be honest). 

The trends following this years Paris Fashion Week are pretty great. A lot of things have come back around as expected, however there are some new interesting styles that are sure to be embraced by all.

Here are my top 5 trends that will be gracing our high-street shops over the next month:

1)

70s Bohemian - As expected some of the summer trends have carried over into next season, so don't panic, those flares you just bought are still on trend (for now). The 70s look is still very much focused on the hippy/bohemian woman, so think florals, brown suede and a good amount of tassels. 

For all the 60s lovers of last winter, have no fear the turtle neck is still very much on trend for this season. A mustard turtle neck paired with a black boyfriend coat is always a winner for me.

2)

Dark Gothic/Victoriana - This season there is a major focus on gothic fashion. Just like the crotchet trend of summer, this dark version was seen across all the catwalks, especially at the McQueen and Givenchy shows. You have my word that black lace will be everywhere. 

3)

                   

China Doll- Paris also showcased a real tribute to traditional Victorian white lace. For a gothic look suitable for the office, think of a white high neck blouse paired with a leather pencil skirt and simple black heels. The white dresses above are from the truly stunning Alberta Ferretti show. Think modern china doll look for this one. 


4)

Winter Warmers - Yet again fur for winter is very much on trend. This season designers have all come together to celebrate the use of faux fur, so don't worry, literally 0 animals were hurt in the making. Though maybe not practical, white is very popular this winter for a variety of jackets, fur in particular. Think Kate Moss' 2009 jacket, or even winter Bond girl.


5)

Margot Tenenbaum - For any Wes Anderson fan the dream of being able to dress like Ms Margot Tenenbaum is a common one. Thankfully this geek chic look has been a real hit this year, and now we can all dress as the perfect kooky heroin of The Royal Tenenbaums. This look is all about clean tailoring, long jackets, loafers and a whole lot of autumnal shades. Just add a completely nonchalant personality to nail the style.
