Yes, it’s time to pack up that summer wardrobe (which you only got to wear for a couple of weeks anyway) as autumn is here. “This season’s colours are all about variety and richness.
Think deep berry tones like rich reds, burgundies and purples, alongside soft blushes and icy silvers that bring a touch of elegance,” Aveen Byron, designer womenswear and denim buyer at Brown Thomas, says. Brat girl summer may have come to an end, but variations on singer Charli XCX’s signature shade endure. “Greens are also in the mix, from Miu Miu’s apple green accessories to Loewe’s olive tones,” Byron says.
Brat-in-chief Kamala Harris is perhaps the perfect representation of the season’s trends, which Byron describes as blending elegance with a bit of boldness. “You’ll see the pretty feminine trend bringing back those soft, romantic looks with beautiful details, especially in collections from Prada and Miu Miu.” It’s a change of direction for Prada, which has gone for a utilitarian loo.
