Next Season's Key Looks
As Autumn/Winter collections start hitting the shops, what trends will you be wearing?
It's hard to believe that in a matter of weeks, we'll be waving goodbye to summer and saying hello once again to chunky knits, ankle boots and cosy nights in with a glass of wine. Whilst, of course, we are going to enjoy EVERY last minute of summer, in the grand old name of fashion, we've rounded up the top Autumn/Winter trends that you're soon going to see filter into the shops as the leaves start turning... But which one will you go for?
Seventies
Thought that the Seventies was just a summer fling? Think again - the flares are staying put. Whether you're a bohemian babe or more of an uptown 70's chic, there will be something to suit you. Expect corduroy dungarees for weekends, peasant blouses for the office and skinny scarves to be on the shop shelves come Autumn. Fringed apparel isn't going anywhere either, with fringed waistcoats and capes taking centre stage.

Modernist
One of Elle's most stand-out trends for this season was what they dubbed the 'Modernist'. For a change, this doesn't mean mute or dark colours for the winter months. Hooray! Instead, it's a fresh injection of bursts of colour infused with bold clean lines. Print goes optical, fabric gets more extreme and shapes are strict. If you ever need cheering up on a drab winter's day, then this is the trend for you.

The Siren
If there was one stand-out colour trend on the catwalks of AW15, then it was certainly red. Scarlet, traffic light, crimson, ketchup - whatever you call it, all the big fashion houses were getting in on the action. Dior, Marni and Fendi in particular were working the hue from head-to-toe, cutting some of the boldest figures of the season in the process. Again, a refreshing colour for deepest, darkest winter so we're 100% on board. And if you don't want to wear all of it but still want some of the action, just grab your favourite red lipstick colour and let your pout do the talking!

Glitter Girl
No matter what your age, there's something about sequins and glitter that we just love. After seasons of pared-back plainness and muted tones, injecting a bit of fun into fashion is just what the doctor ordered. Expect to see LBDs adorned with sequins and heels shimmering in glitter for the forthcoming season, taking inspiration from the likes of Proenza Schouler, Rodarte and Julie de Libran. Perfect for the party season...

Dark Victoriana
If colour, graphics and glitter isn't your thing, fear not. Another key trend for AW15 harks back to the Victorian ages, creating a darkly decadent theme for the season. Expect lots of black and an array of textured fabrics, complete with frilled details and floor-skimming lengths - the perfect way to take hold of the darker side of fashion this winter. Want to take another approach to it? Wear a black sheer top with a black bra on show underneath for a modern update on this classic trend.
