New season staples
As the seasons shift, it’s the perfect moment to breathe new life into your wardrobe, infusing it with a fresh sense of style.
While classic wardrobe essentials remain steadfast and timeless, there’s a thrill in embracing the latest and revisited staples that are making waves on the fashion scene.
I have been taking mental notes over the past few weeks and ended up detecting some game-changing pieces I’m expecting to become the must-haves of the season, as well as the staples that will properly update your forever closet. From oversized leather jackets to biker boots and long skirts, here are the most in-demand essentials to invest in.
Leather jackets
They come with a worn effect and hardware details. These revamped biker and aviator jackets give a nod to the ’90s while embracing an oversized twist that transforms the entire look. It’s the perfect blend of vintage cool and contemporary style.
Tailored cargo trousers
These modernized utility pants take the casual cargo trousers and infuse them with a touch of sophistication. They bridge the gap between streetwear and classic tailoring, making them a versatile choice. Pair them with a ’90s-inspired top, a chic blazer, or a cosy chunky knit. Complete the look with modern ballet flats or retro trainers for that in-demand flair.
Biker boots
Did you know that according to Google Trends, searches for ‘biker boots’ have surged by 140% over the past 30 days, marking a 50% growth in popularity compared to last year? It’s clear that biker boots are having a major moment. Following the trend set by Miu Miu’s overly-buckled boots last season, these rugged yet stylish boots continue to steal the spotlight. They effortlessly balance comfort and attitude, making them the go-to choice for fall. Whether paired with bermuda shorts, midi skirts, or long dresses, they infuse any ensemble with an edgy flair.
Long skirts
Long skirts maintain their coveted status this season. From tailored to denim, midi to extra-long, their versatility makes them an essential addition to your fall wardrobe, offering endless styling possibilities. Pair them with ballet flats for a chic twist or opt for biker boots and a leather jacket for an edgier look.
Sweater dresses
A transitional essential, the sweater dress combines a long length with a light to medium knit. It’s the ideal piece to keep you cosy and stylish as the seasons change.
Elevated shorts
They offer a sophisticated twist on summer shorts, providing a great alternative to traditional trousers. Elevate your look by pairing them with knee-length boots, or chunky loafers – if you like the back-to-school vibe – an oversized blazer, or a relaxed shirt for a chic yet casual ensemble.
Most-wanted sneakers
Sneakers continue to evolve each season, and this year, it’s all about reinventing classics. Look out for retro sneakers with a modern twist like the Loewe Flow and Adidas Samba. Additionally, explore refined versions of sporty and technical sneakers like Salomon and Asics, offering both comfort and chic style for your everyday look.
