New-Season Staples To Get Your Hands on Now

What are the wise investments to buy now that we’re still as likely to break a sweat as soon as we set our sights on the Underground sign?

 

Is this heatwave we’re enduring Summer’s swansong? It has me melting faster than you can say canyoupassmetheicelollyplease. But as we’re on the doorstep of September, it’s almost time to be packing away the off-the-shoulder blouses in favour of novelty knits in the style of Gucci (read: almost). But what are the wise investments to buy now that we’re still as likely to break a sweat as soon as we set our sights on the Underground sign? It’s about incorporating catwalk-inspired trends that’ll punctuate your AW16 style diet with your everyday basics, and choosing pieces that have longevity to last all season long without looking dated come January. Then, of course, comes the fun of mixing with all of your wardrobe’s most-loved pieces. Striped shirts. Breton tops. Blue slim-leg jeans. A plain white T-shirt. Trench coats. Get yours hands on these most-coveted new-season staples and play.

Ruffles

If ruffles made ripples last season, they’ll be making waves during autumn/winter. Quite literally, too, as the bigger, the better, and the more, the merrier. Zara’s frill-hem trousers are the perfect way to incorporate the trend without being too flouncy, and make an essential office-to-bar staple. Layer an oversized shirt over a lacy camisole top to slip off when the lights dip and the espresso martini’s are sent out. Plus, the eye-catching hemline is exactly what you need to draw all attention to ankle boots with statement heels.

Velvet

Make this strokable fabric your biggest crush for autumn/winter. It might just bring back memories of that outfit you wore for your school disco circa 2002, but it’s far more high-fashion than high-school these days. If you like it plush and piled high, opt for sweeping flared trousers and skirts. If the texture is too much to take for your minimalist style, try out a velvet slip dress layered over a T-shirt to keep the 90s grunge-glam vibes alive.

Pleats

If you invested in a pleated skirt over the past couple of seasons, four for you Glen Coco, because they’re set to stay again as the counterpart to everything from bomber jackets, supersized knits, to band T-shirts galore. Anything goes – whether it’s super wide box-pleats, medium splays, or fine plissé – but your style credentials will soar if you make it metallic.

    Great picks! I'm all about ruffles this season! That £55 white ruffle top from ASOS is actually what dreams are made of. Your ruffled trousers are also on point!

    I'm not into ruffles and velvet, think I'll stick with off shoulder even if it's freezing! Love your oversized shirt chick

    I love those asos jeans, I prefer the dark denim to the lighter version. I cannot wait for it to get colder, I love Autumn/Winter clothes the most. x

Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even a card, an acknowledgement of it) or do you just live it like any other day? It’s not something that bothers me really but I said to Jimmy “it would be nice to get some flowers though” - he replied by asking me when actually is Valentine’s Day. Lol. So... bets are on. Who thinks I’ll be getting flowers on Valentine’s Day 😂?

Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patientl Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patiently waiting for summer so I can enjoy my walks in the park in these sandals 🥺 but seriously, my chanel sandals have been the best investments I’ve made. They’re about the only shoes I wear in spring summer. Until then, I guess I’ll be wearing them as slippers 🥴
