Step into the new season with style: The key fashion trends for autumn/winter 2022
The best of the fashion trends have collided this autumn to offer something that will appeal to everyone.
With the past two years championing comfort, then boldness, as the world adapted to the pandemic, this season keeps the best bits and looks to the future.
While current times may still feel conflicted and challenging there is an appetite to get out there and get on with it, with resilience, focus and empathy.
This perhaps underlines the key trends that are predicted to dominate the high street this autumn and winter. Tailored suits, oversized jackets, comfort knits and bright colours and patterns.
While looking to the future, this season’s fashion overwhelmingly continues to look back, with 90s trends and Y2K remaining strong influences. Here’s what to consider when you head to Marriotts Walk to update your wardrobe this autumn.
Trouser Suits
Trouser suits for women are a welcome return – and they are not just for the office. Just like in the 90s, the trouser suit will become a statement piece for nights out and dressing to impress in the daytime. Tailoring is an important feature, with tailored double-breasted jackets and flared trousers being a popular combination.
But dressing smartly doesn’t translate to muted tones – anything but! Bright greens, pinks and blues are everywhere for the matching jacket/trousers combo. For those who prefer a less flamboyant look, navy, black, grey, white and beige remain good options. Have a look in Marks and Spencer and Phase Eight.
Oversized blazers
This trend has been out there for a while and is a great way to look on-trend. Its adaptability means the oversized blazer can be used to dress up or dress down an outfit.
With every design and colour from plaid, herringbone, black, beige, bright colours, pinstripe to leather, there is an oversized blazer for every taste. A great way to layer up as the cold weather bites, what’s not to love? Start your search at Hobbs.
Knits
Just the word knitwear is enough to make you feel warm and cosy, and this year’s retro inspiration will see some wonderful, knitted jumpers in stores. Scandi-style, cricket inspired, arran designs, stripes and neutrals will all be evident across knitwear lines, taking you from the comforts of home to staying warm in the office. Shop for knits at FatFace or try JoJo Maman Bébé for children’s styles.
Bomber jackets
Very 90s inspired, bombers jackets will be a popular choice of coat this autumn. Oversized or a closer fit, with classic shiny black remaining popular, alongside more colourful hues. Head to New Look.
Biker chic
Whether it is your jacket or shoes, you might want to take a nod from the classic biker look as leather jackets and chunky biker-style boots remain a key trend. Biker jackets never really go out of fashion for long so if you’ve not taken the plunge and bought one before, this could be your year!
White vests
The humble white vest is having a moment this season. Designer versions will be upping the stakes while they will also be widely available on the high street. Maybe with everything that has gone on we all just need something we can rely on, in the fashion world that could well be the white vest. Dependable, straight forward, affordable and looks good with anything. What is not to like?
