The Little Black Dress has turned to the dark side this season, inspired by a gothic renaissance that blends grungy detailing with a decidedly sexy silhouette. With some incredible designs causing a moody storm on the runways of Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Rokh to name a few, this is a look defined by lace details, silver embellishments, oil slick leather and mesh fabrics. From strappy black dresses by Maje to killer black minis by The Kooples for les femmes dangereuses, this is a look not to be messed with! Biker boots and silver chain details round off the grungy aspect, while the lace and sheer tulle fabrics maintain a powerful femininity.

It seems that our collective working-from-home wardrobe has inspired a new take on the statement winter coat as designers from Pinko to American Vintage reinterpreted the loose, wraparound silhouette of everyone’s go-to lockdown piece - the dressing gown. Softly tailored in rich wool fabrics, the belted double-breasted wraparound coats by the likes of Sandro and Zadig & Voltaire are as versatile and chic as they are luxuriously comfy. The palette features warm creams and beige tones alongside greys, browns and dark blues and are best paired with heeled leather boots and oversized shoulder bags for a voluminous winter look. Wrap it over just about any ensemble you can imagine - smart or casual - for instant style props.

Autumn/Winter is not going to be a drab affair if this season’s runways have anything to do with it. From sunflower yellow at American Vintage to vibrant violet at Sandro, collections were popping with kaleidoscopic colours. Bold hues are a beautifully simple way to uplift your mood and elevate your wardrobe. You can choose one colour and go all out for a coordinated look, or otherwise, colour blocking is another striking way to introduce bright tones. Colourful rollnecks by Claudie Pierlot and Not Shy are key this season and gone are the classic charcoal suits in favour of brighter coloured two-pieces by Maje and Pinko. When colour blocking, you can’t go wrong with the prime colours, and accessorise with metallic jewellery for a shiny contrast.
