The start of a new season has seen a rise of autumn winter trends for 2018; we’ve seen snake print and leopard print make a roaring come back, and nothing gets between us and our plaid blazers. What really gives me a dose of inspiration for cute autumn outfit ideas are the trending colours and the autumn-winter colour trends for 2018 are no exception. At the top of the list is a colour that I’ve surprisingly come to love; mustard yellow. With Paris Fashion Week coming to a close, not only have I seen this colour dominate the street style, but it’s very much here to stay from now all the way to next summer!

Like so many others, I was unsure of this shade It didn’t seem like the most obvious choice when reaching for a sweater, but over the past few months I’ve started to see glimpses of mustard pop up in my wardrobe more and more (and I don’t mean through me messily spilling it all over my clothes while devouring a plate of fries). Here are my top three tips for styling mustard this season to create a cute autumn outfit and countless more cute sweater outfit ideas for the season.

Firstly, pair your mustard yellow piece with neutrals like white, black, beige and khaki. These are the colours that work best with it and you’ll find that mustard will quickly become your favourite way to make any autumn outfit formula more interesting. I styled my sweater with this adorable white storets skirt and black accessories.

Secondly, Add touches of gold to really bring out your outfit. Gold and yellow compliment each other and this is a great way to bring your favourite chain belt into the new season.

Thirdly, mustard goes beautifully well with autumn winter’s favourite prints. This includes snake prints and plaid. That’s why I opted for a mustard sweater as my new must-have piece for autumn.

For my amazing readers who live in countries that are warm all year round, this is a great way to make your wardrobe more seasonal, by working this colour into your outfits through accessories or basics like t-shirts or even an adorable skirt.

Here’s What Happened When I Tried The Socks and Heels Trend…

There are some trends that you know you love, and some trends that you know you hate. Then there are there are the trends that you think you hate, but you could potentially get on board with. Socks and Heels was one of those autumn winter 2018 trends for me. At first, I couldn’t handle the concept at all, it was too reminiscent of socks and sandals for me. As time went on, I had more and more of you asking me what I thought of the trend, and some of you even wanted to know how I would style it. That’s when I realised, I had to give socks and heels a try. Here’s what happened.

I didn’t totally hate it. Trust me, I was incredibly surprised by this. I realised, like with any trends, there are a few ways to make it work for you and to really elevate it to a new level of chic. So if you’re looking to try the socks and heels trend, or you’ve already discovered you love it and want to up your game, here are three tips for really making this fad, something to rave about:

1. Choose the right pair of socks
Don’t go for your white socks and definitely put the Christmas-esque ones away. If you really want to get a chic high fashion look, go for sheer socks. Think your favourite glittery kind, or sheer with a fun pattern. I opted for my glitter socks, perfect for the autumn winter parties! You could even make this work with fishnet socks. Free People have a fabulous selection of sheer socks that I am currently crushing on and this is something I saw done at New York Fashion week as well!

2. Choose the right pair of heels.
This is so crucial for making this work! As you can see I went for a pair of strappy, open toe shoes. I would avoid wearing closed or pointed toed shoes with a trend like this. Instead, go for open toe and strappy!

3. Keep the rest of your look classic.
If you’re going to really rock a trend like socks and heels, make sure that the rest of your outfit is classic. I went for a chic little black dress, an elegant choice when going for a trend like this one.

So would you give this trend a try? Comment below and let me know!

How You Can Wear One Of The Most Trending Pieces for Fall Winter 2018

LEATHER LOOK

When you think of leather shorts, there are a few questions that come to mind. Firstly, how do you wear leather shorts in the autumn and secondly, how do you wear leather shorts casually? If there is anything to take from the autumn winter 2018 trends, it’s that leather dominating the season. Think leather jackets, vinyl skirts and best of all, leather shorts. We saw them come down the runway everywhere, my favourite being the way Saint Laurent styled them for an 80’s boho feel. Today, I’m showing you how to translate this runway trend for your next casual autumn outfit.

The key is to style your leather shorts down. I paired my high waisted Mango leather shorts with an oversized silk blouse. I love how that combination was so reminiscent of the Saint Laurent looks that I love from the runway. A quick note about this silk shirt; its machine washable. Yes, you read that correctly! It’s beautiful quality and you can stick it in the washing machine and wear it as much as you’d like! I got it at Marks & Spencer and like all good purchases, my mom discovered it. Thanks mom!

To really achieve a casual autumn outfit, I finished my outfit with my Saint Laurent bomber jacket. A bomber jacket is a great touch to any look if you’re looking to dress a piece of clothing down for the daytime. It has a fun, sporty feel to it, while still being classic.

If you wanted to dress your leather shorts up for the night, I would pair with an oversized blouse and stilettos with a gorgeous statement red lip to go with.

If you live in India or any other hot country and are looking to style your leather shorts, go for a faux pair like these, and style with a plain white or black t-shirt! Accessorise with layered necklaces and a pair of kitten heels for a classic look.

So You Bought The Designer T Shirt, But How Do You Wear It In Autumn?

T SHIRT LOVER

So it’s no surprise that the slogan t shirt is taking over the street style scene right now. I still remember when the Gucci T shirt was the it piece to have in your wardrobe, but if you remember from this post, I actually think that another designer t shirt is a far smarter long-term investment than the Gucci one; this Saint Laurent t-shirt. So you’ve picked it up, you’ve worn it all summer long and you’re just not ready to put it away for autumn. Sound familiar? That’s definitely how I feel about all my favourite slogan t shirts! That’s why today I’m showing you how to wear your favourite slogan tee for a few months longer!

I paired my Saint Laurent tee with a heritage houndstooth print skirt. Prints like check and houndstooth always dominate the season and it was no different for the autumn/winter 2018 collections (See all the trends worth knowing for the season here!) Adding that autumn touch already makes your t-shirt more season appropriate. I also stuck to a very seasonal colour palette, opting for warmer shades of brown and red.

The real secret to wearing that slogan tee in the autumn is layering. I layered this beautiful maroon leather jacket over my pink t shirt since pink and red is one of my favourite colour combinations! The final touches came with my beautiful gold Jimmy Choo shoes which I’ve had in my closet for a few years now and one of my favourite Louis Vuitton handbags, the Pochette Metis. I love how the monogram doesn’t clash with any of the autumn/winter prints I love!

How To Transition Your Wardrome From Summer To Autumn: The Jumpsuit

CLASSIC JUMPSUITS

For the third part in my summer to autumn series (for part one click here and for part two click here) I’m showing you how to style another popular piece that is also trending for autumn winter 2018 with the street style crowd; the jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are, in my opinion, one of those pieces that every capsule wardrobe needs. They are classic and effortlessly chic and great pieces to layer with.

If you know how to layer with a jumpsuit, you’ll know that you can wear your layer over or under, making styling the jumpsuit really interesting. I wanted to achieve that typical yet classic Parisian girl style. I layered a white ribbed turtleneck underneath my sleeveless black jumpsuit for an ultra-luxe look. The contrast of black and white, a classic combination, really made the outfit feel more classic and sophisticated.

For my accessories, I added in my leather baker boy hat. The baker boy hat started trending last year and is still on trend for autumn winter 2018. Leather is also a huge fashion trend for this season. I added in my chain belt for that extra touch and my favourite Chloe boots from last season. Although these boots are almost a year old, they are always in style because of their classic design. That’s why investing in good quality and beautifully designed luxury pieces are worth it.
