Fashion Content // Autumn Fashion Trends: What Should We Expect to See in 2017?*

Although the most people are looking forward to the looming summer, fashionistas around the world are already thinking about what Autumn fashion will bring.

Today along with Trilogy Stores, I can provide you with the hottest trends to expect this autumn. By following this guide, you’ll be able to make the most of autumnal-chic, which if I’m perfectly honest, is my absolute favourite trend. ‘Cause who doesn’t love burgundy?

Belted Coats
I’ve always been a fan of the belted coat and it’s nice to see it’s making a come back as it’s such a flattering piece. The belt adds an extra layer of depth to your coat and defines your waistline. Whether you decide to go for a statement fur jacket, or a leather trench coat the belt can pull the look together without the need for fastening. Belts can either be done up or tied as tight or loosely as you like.

Along with the belted coat, the wide waist belts are also reappearing. This was a huge trend in my late teens and early 20s that I really embraced as I don’t have much of a waist. Not only can these be worn over your coat or added to an evening dress to define your curves. However, if you’re worrying about keeping warm this autumn – Jumper 1234 are sure to keep you warm with fashionable designs that appeal to the comforting colours of the season.

Suit Up
It’s no surprise that the suit is set to storm the globe by September as women are making a more powerful stance around the world, and why shouldn’t our clothes reflect that! Gone are the opinions that suits are for men. A suit is also a fab way to keep warm during the colder months without wearing multiple layers. Elegantly designed slacks and pressed double-breasted jackets are all the rage this autumn; together with pronounced shoulders and shoulder-width trousers. Don’t worry, this isn’t a return of the eighties; it’s power-dressing in 2017.

True Blue
In summer we’re all about the pastel and brights, pale pink contrasting with eye-catching pinks, but as the leaves begin to change so does our choice in colours. The new “it” colour for Autumn 2017 is going to blue and I’m all for it as 90% of my wardrobe is, you guessed it, blue. A pale blue shirt here, a navy pair pencil skirt there. Or why not try a bright blue mac? It would be a stark contrast against the autumn environment around you.

Nylon Jackets
Guys, I hear you. Nylon jackets? Please no. But it’s true. Nylon jackets are going to be big in Autumn 2017, I kid you not! Whether you’re going to a festival, or walking through town, a nylon coat is the transitional outerwear that you’ve been looking for. This is the dream jacket for the intrepid traveller as it never wrinkles, perfect for stuffing in your case to protect you from those inevitable Autumn showers. Not only that, these futuristic jackets can be worn casually with a pair of flats or in the evening with high heels. The main colours will be blacks, browns and greens.

Whether you follow fashion or not, these are the trends you’ll see in the shops come September, I for one am so excited to see everything blue, maybe I can finally replace my beloved blue mac circa 2004!
