We are diving head first into a new fashion season. Time to put those sundresses and bikinis away for a bit (not entirely though, we know it’s still sunny Singapore) and brace yourself this fall/winter with trends that you wouldn’t want to miss.

This season we saw plenty of tweed and checks down the Miu Miu, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Erdem runway. The comeback of these heritage fabrics is going to get you excited. There are endless ways to wear them. From cosy, structured jumpers to dresses to bring out your inner boss babe.

A great pairing for your tweed/checks would hand down be leather. With its glossy finish, your outfit instantly elevated. Leather gives any outfit a bolder appearance! You can even explore your options with different coloured leather.

We saw blanket capes strutting their way down the runway and we’re in love. Capes emanate a certain cool vibe yet still retains femininity with the way the fabric falls.

We saw loads of animal prints on the runway from Balenciaga, Givenchy, Dolce and Gabbana and even Calvin Klein. Don’t shy away from these prints – keep in mind that these pieces should be the star of your outfit, you’ll be safe! Try an easy shift dress like this to keep things fresh or opt for a more mature version of the same print with a darker hue.

Of all the animal prints, the one that is definitely in the spotlight would be zebra prints. As this print gallops it’s way to centre stage, keep things simple and don’t over-accessorize!

Rainbows are all the rave and brightened up many fashion runways this season. It is an unconventional switch from the usual mauves, browns and greys for fall/winter. But with its vibrancy and dynamic aesthetic, go flamboyantly with the rainbow trend.

Or keep it sophisticated in a more subdued hue.

It’s a head-turner and not for the faint-hearted. It’s time to jump on the silver and all things metallic trend train. Dress it up or dress it down, either ways there are no dull days in these.
