Ask any fashion editor and we’ll tell you the same thing—we’re all secretly counting down to autumn. Don’t get me wrong, summer had it’s moments (although few and far between), but there’s something about the layering and cosiness of autumn that makes it one of the best seasons to dress for. The coats! The cashmere! The glossy leather accessories! Yes, Fall fashion is a firm favourite, and looking to the A/W ’24 runways has given us a lot of chic trends to look forward to.
From Miu Miu and Coperni’s ladylike debutante dressing, to Etro and Chloé’s bohemian revival, there’s a trend to cater to every style over the coming months and a few key pieces so tempting that you’ll be happy to step away from your sandals for another six months. It goes without saying though, that you don’t need to spend four figures to channel autumn/winter 2024’s most influential runway looks, and as editor with an eye for expensive-looking pieces on the high street, i set about proving just how easy it is to look bang up to date without blowing your budget.
If you’re ready for bright, crisp mornings, layering up for long walks, dressing to the nines for party season, polishing up your back-to-work ‘fits after holidays, or just looking for a seasonal update, keep scrolling. Here are six runway-inspired outfits built from exceptionally good high-street buys. You’re welcome.
1. Bottega Veneta: Trench Coat + Pop of Colour Shirt+ Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: You just can’t go wrong with a classic camel trench coat, and Bottega Veneta makes theirs the star of the show. There’s no need to over-accessorise an office-ready look like this, sticking to sharp tailoring always looks polished, but the addition of a bright red shirt is what bring the look into 2024.
