A glance at the calendar is relentless and suggests that summer is slowly but surely leaving and autumn is already waiting at the door. But what will it be like? The fashion one, of course. Do you already know which pieces you can't do without this autumn if you want to keep up with the trends? If not, never mind, today I'll walk you through it in brief. These are the five most prominent trends of the coming autumn, which I will also introduce to you over the next weeks in my capsule wardrobe and outfits. Don't be scared of the trends, each of the pieces can be very nicely incorporated even into an ordinary and conservative wardrobe. I have put them together as simply and clearly as possible (all photos, outfits and pieces are from Zara) so that after reading the article you feel you really know your way around autumn fashion 2018.
ANIMAL PRINT a.k.a. animal patterns
If you look at leopard, tiger or zebra prints with disdain and reluctance, your eyes will be in for a hard time this autumn. They are worn on absolutely everything. On coats, suits, handbags, shoes, simply absolutely everywhere. If you don't own a single "beast" (artificial, of course), you'll be counted among the fashion ignoramuses. For the collage I chose leopard pieces, which will be visible pretty much everywhere.
RETRO CHECK
The classic, timeless, at times even boring check has won a prominent place with almost all the world's designers. If you have a checked coat, suit or at least a blazer, definitely dust it off. I found a great circular midi skirt which I'll style into the top outfit of this autumn. After all, that is the point, to recycle and elevate our existing pieces from the wardrobe with perfect styling. This year check is layered and different checks are even worn together. So, do you have the courage?
WHITE BOOTS
In the ankle version they appeared already in spring and I thought to myself, good heavens, what is this?! Like every fashion trend I first had to digest it, and now I like white boots with everything. I'm looking for some super mega high ones up to the knee, so far without success, but luckily I still have time. White boots are simply a MUST-HAVE for this autumn/winter, full stop.
TEDDY BEAR a.k.a. Teddy bear fur coat
All the world's celebrities have loved it for several seasons already, and this year this fluffy piece became the absolute darling of the world's designers. It appeared at almost every show, so it could also appear in your wardrobe. Colour and length are up to you, but "the fluffier, the better" applies.
SHINE
All artificial materials are worn, from PVC to patent leather. What was a complete faux pas until recently is now worn, and right in the spotlight. If you are clutching your head, you are certainly not the only one, but fashion and trends are relentless. For an even more shocking effect, shiny pieces also appear with animal or geometric prints.
