Autumn Winter 2018 – 5 Fashion Looks to Try this Season

It seems like just yesterday I was posting about Spring trends and now here we are, smack in the middle of Autumn-Winter fashion buzz. I personally love both times of the year since there’s much room to experiment in both seasons.

Here, I have curated some Autumn Winter looks for you all, which are inspired by current runway trends and my personal sense of style. Read on and do share how you feel about them!

The Dress-Boots-Jacket Look


As the days get shorter and the weather becomes more chilly, you’ll need outfits that suit both day and night time outings. I’ve created a chic day-to-night look by teaming a floral midi by Hush, with a grey-green military jacket and calf-length boots from the same brand. The layering gives depth to the otherwise casual dress and makes the ensemble suitable for casual and semi-formal events. With an outfit this versatile, you can easily pull off a day-to-night transition by simply redoing your makeup. Sounds good, right?


Pro Tip – Style your hair into soft waves or long curls which look good in ponytails as well as when left open.

The Embroidered-Skirt Sassiness

My second favourite look would be suitable for brunch dates or daytime outings where you need to look casually stylish with minimal effort. Here, I’ve worn an elegant embroidered skirt with a semi-sheer white, full-sleeves blouse, and short blue boots. Everything I’m wearing is by Monsoon, and I love the graceful femininity all their clothes promise.

I have not accessorized much with this outfit to let the statement skirt shine. Keeping it simple yet sassy!

Pro Tip – Wear a bold lip-colour or eye-shadow with this look to make sure that your outfit does not draw attention away from the face.

The Sweater-Culottes Combo

What do you wear when there’s a definitive nip in the air but you still need to look boho chic? Pull out a sweater with culottes to match. For my sweater-culottes combo, I wore a colour-block John Lewis turtleneck with matching orange wide-leg culottes.
This outfit is great for any casual outing where you want to look effortlessly stylish and remain toasty warm. I wore open-toed clogs for an added touch of boho jazz.

Pro Tip – This look is sharp and edgy; you can carry a statement bag if you’re headed someplace fancy in this outfit.

The Autumn Staple Skinny Jeans

Nothing is as autumny as skinny jeans paired with a classic pair of boots. This is a no-fuss look that works every time and can be customized per occasion. I wore a pair of Monsoon denim with brouges to accentuate my legs. I love this minimalist look since it is very versatile – you can team the denim with different kinds of tops, blouses, and sweaters, based on where you’re headed. You can even experiment with accessories and makeup to make this staple look more interesting!

Working with a bold colour jumper is a great way to work a look with jeans

Pro Tip – Try layering in top-wear with this outfit. You can go in for long jackets, windcheaters, or sheer pull-overs even.

The Blazer-Scarf Jazz

One of my favourite Autumn Winter look in semi-formal outfits is the blazer-scarf pairing which is always a head-turner. I wore a plum jersey blazer by Joules with straight jeans and brogues. I added on a knitted scarf with a cute star pattern which adds oodles of oomph to it, and also because I love star print.

Though I wore it with jeans, you can experiment with more formal clothing like skirts, dresses, and trousers.  I’d advise against accessorizing heavily with such an outfit or it can get too much.

Pro Tip – Look up interesting ways to style your scarf – that can really up the style quotient of this ensemble.

So now you are all ready to experiment and add that extra style and colour to your Autumn Winter Wardrobe.

London Fashion Week AW18 in review

Fashion weeks lasts forever. Such is the impact of London Fashion Week. Though it is for a week or so, but one can reminisce it for longer period of time.

Undoubtedly, the biggest event in the fashion calendar of the UK. And once again, London Fashion week went over like rainbow this year. Let’s have a look at the high points of LFW AW18, a few designers whose contribution made the week even bigger and better.

Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s president and chief creative officer said goodbye to Burberry after 17 years

This year the brand caught the eye again. The reason, however, was something different. Reason being it was Christopher Bailey’s Last Burberry Show. Every celebrity showed up for his last show. The whole crowd was notably star-studded. Burberry created a capsule of reissued pieces from the Eighties and Nineties. The brand is now also selling its Rainbow Check collection, as part of an initiative to support charities that help LGBTQ, in store now. 

Ashish’s glittery London Fashion Week

Ashish showed his latest collection at London Fashion Week, and the highlights from the show were Glitter because, yes, there was a whole lot of glitter. Ashish’s inspirations this year were predictably unpredictable. He actually took his inspiration from the swinging Sixties, and his set was designed similar to that of a bazaar.

To adhere to the theme, many of his models stomped the catwalk holding plastic bags. There were very little things on the runway that didn’t sparkle. Many of the clothes were candy-striped in shimmering colours of the rainbow. Other items just had hints of glitter – like the embellished denim jacket, also multi-coloured trousers and jumpsuits with fringed sparkles.

Mulberry staged its first see-now-buy-now show at Spencer House, Princess Diana’s ancestral London home

The spring collection took in a patisserie palette, with pink satin ruffle skirts, linen suits with long. There were delicate printed dressed too in the collection. Mulberry celebrated the best of British style. The collection itself took its hint from English eccentricity. Models on the ramp wore ruffled ballet-inspired pumps with round fluted heels made an attempt in recalling China collection that one might expect to find in a grand British country house. Some even came draped with multicoloured gemstones. This year the see-now-buy-now show also marked a break from convention for Mulberry.

Some glamour from Temperley

This season, Temperley was highly inspired by the first female aviators, and the whole collection had a romantic, vintage feel to it. Temperley’s catwalk included military combats, stylish cropped trousers and a flattering cinched-in waist, and all-over sequined party frocks. The ramp was also highlighted with some perfect party outfits. Flowing bias cut dresses with a thigh-high front slit, sheer nude dresses, one kimono-wrap jumpsuit. the dresses provided strong scenery to the brand.


J.W. Anderson: One magical mix: Men’s, women’s and pre-collection all together on the runway for the first time

After 10 years, Northern-Irish designer Jonathan Anderson switched things up and presented both his menswear and womenswear collections at the same time in his very first mixed-gender format.

Their collection had a modest, naive feel to it including long, drop-waist dresses, swingy handkerchief hemlines, crinkled or pleated fabrics, ruffle details and light, fluttery layers done in an original J.W. pattern of yore, or in baby blue or pink. It was a big collection of knits, some edged with thick fringes, and others with fat doughnut shapes at the wrist and edges. The designer clearly chose to have fun with clothes and undoubtedly charmed the whole collection.
