WE are on the brink of a new season but don’t ditch your summer clobber just yet.
Some of the recent top trends are here to stay, from colossal collars to statement sleeves and voluminous frocks.
With a few tweaks to these catwalk-led items, you can transition into the cooler months without shelling out on a new wardrobe.
Clemmie Fieldsend gives her verdict on six summer staples suitable to see you through September and beyond.
THEY were perfect for those lockdown Zoom calls when only our top half was on display – and for the new season statement sleeves are going nowhere.
Keep hold of your bold-coloured styles in prints and with ruffles, but swap joggers or shorts for tailored trousers in a matching tonal hue.
Slip on a nude flat to keep hold of that working-from-home comfort or pair with trainers for a more relaxed feel.
FAUX leather shackets – that’s where a shirt meets jacket – were our go-to in the warmer months, perfect for an English downpour.
But don’t put yours away.
Coloured leather is one of the biggest trends to hit this season’s catwalks.
Go head-to-toe in the look by pairing with a billowing faux leather midi-skirt and slip-on mules.
For cooler days, layer with a rollneck.
So stylish and sleek for any occasion.
COLLOSAL collars offered some va-va-voom to our necklines in summer and, hallelujah, they are sticking around.
Think preppy, polished and a little back-to-school but with a mature update.
Ideal for re-working any cosy, go-to jumper or cardigan, a big collar slipped underneath makes it a whole new knit in an instant.
Pair with tonal trousers and layer with a check blazer to finish off your prim look.
SUGARY shades of Parma violet were the colour choice for spring/summer, and the pastel hue is set to be a hit into autumn and winter as well.
Whatever you snapped up in lilac, pair it with similar shades of purple, such as this plum skirt.
Cooler tones – greys or even icy blues – give lilac a crisp and wintry feel.
TRAPEZE, tiered or swing, whatever you want to call them, easy, breezy dresses aren’t going anywhere.
For everything from a barbecue to a Sunday stroll, voluminous frocks have been an essential part of our summer wardrobe – comfy enough to wear when working from the sofa or out for dinner.
Going forward, you can style them for this season by layering with an equally comfy hoodie and cosy coat.
CHECKS were a big summer hit and that will not change for the next six months.
Stuffy tweed and houndstooth have had a welcome injection of colour.
Pair a skirt like this Topshop midi with a crisp white shirt and mini-heels.
When the wind bites, swap for knee-high heeled boots – they are ideal for the office.
Let’s face it, we need something to brighten up our working days.
