While it’s been sunny recently, you can feel the brisk weather beginning to call for thick jumpers and layers. It’s time to get out your cosy clothes in time for the cooler temperatures. So, here’s a guide to building an AW22 wardrobe that will keep you warm while staying stylish.
Leather
In the last few weeks, designers seemed to have decided that leather jackets are going to dominate fashion weeks. With the temperature cooling down, leather jackets are finally back to the forefront.
There are many ways to use leather in your looks: pick a leather bomber jacket with a flannel shirt to get the 90s vibe, or if minimalism is more your vibe – opting for leather blazers and mini skirts is definitely an option. You can even create a bourgeoisie chic look with leather trench coats, white shirts and pencil skirts à la Bottega Veneta.
Low waist
Low-waist midi skirts are a staple in Bella Hadid’s wardrobe. Pair them with baggy jumpers or baggy jackets to create the ultimate Y2K outfit on colder days. As part of Paris Fashion Week, Miu Miu carried out the popular low-waist skirt, adding cargo elements, along with the previous preppy style.
Don’t forget to add low-waist cargo trousers, like those from Givenchy, to your shopping cart as well. To make sure you’re kept warm, a woollen maxi dress in darker colours and plaids would make a perfect match with any tee.
Oversized
The oversized silhouette is one of the hottest trends in designer clothing this season. Jonathan Anderson’s surreal yet practical designs are often infused with his magical creativity and love for bagginess.
Disproportioned jackets, and Minecraft inspired hoodies and T-shirts give the Loewe show an air of humour rarely seen on runways.
Stella McCarteney’s collection is far more simple: containing massive blazers with a clean cut, draped, flowy dress – all in block bold colours. The combination of masculinity and femininity enchants, not to mention the dynamic palettes adds more vibrancy. A pink oversized blazer should be what you’re searching for.
Fringing
Take a look at Victoria Beckham’s new collection in Paris. If you’re bold enough to try something with a bit of flare, you’ll love fringing. Adding fringe to your skirt trim or the back of a suede jacket adds some personality to your outfit. You can also add them to your handbags, scarves, or jewellery. This small detail is easy to incorporate in a standard look, so there’s no need to over complicate your wardrobe – it’s all in the details.
While grunge, Y2K, and ‘90s looks all battle to be most on trend this winter, it is best to pick pieces that align with your taste, that are easy to wear and that never go out of style.
