Autumn/Winter 2021 is shaping up with some clear trends emerging.  Earthy, neutral tones are being seen from the runways to the streets and reimaginings of timeless pieces are defining the season.  We’re also seeing a mixture of wardrobe basics, timeless pieces, and an array of layers on the horizon. All of which will allow you to achieve an effortlessly-chic everyday look throughout and in between the seasons. 

Whether you’re after a few transitional pieces or a complete wardrobe overhaul, keep reading for our Autumn/Winter 2021 fashion forecast.

Earthy Tones

The connection between the environment and fashion has never been more prominent. As the leaves begin to turn into rich shades of brown, gold, and terracotta reds, we are seeing these tones reflected in our wardrobe. This nature-inspired palette is not only timeless but will be a strong foundation for the seasons to come. 

If you’re finding yourself in the mood for warm, earthy browns, caramels, and more, you’ll be falling for our latest. Some of our new must-haves that we can’t live without include the Ayesha Knit  which would look perfect thrown over your favourite pair of linen shorts for effortlessly-chic style. For our chocolate lovers, the Bernadette Dress can be styled up or down for the ideal day-to-night look. 

Timeless Pieces

After months of loungewear, we’re primed to up the fashion stakes with a classic blazer in a sleek silhouette. If your Work From Home uniform needs some TLC, look no further.  Swap your WFH uniform for a white tee, and layer your look with a tailored blazer like the Nylah Blazer that has just landed. 

Layer Lovin’

Autumn is shaping up with metres of knits and layers.  Survive the cold, chilly days with some of our layering and styling tips and tricks.  Start with a classic basic, and from that base layer, work your way through to your outerwear, playing with different textures and shades of the same colour palette.

Our stylists recommends a basic tank and cardigan combination like the Letter Top paired with the Tika Cardigan. The Laree Tank paired with the Rachael Cardigan (back soon) is another match made in heaven. With these, you’ll automatically elevate your outfit while still staying warm and cosy.

Back to Basics

Speaking of basics, when we think of building the perfect wardrobe for this Autumn/Winter season, it is so important that the foundations are solid. That means, investing in basics and building your wardrobe with those standout pieces that you can’t live without. Need help getting back to basics? Some key pieces that we consider essentials for this upcoming A/W season include a white shirt (Fraise Top and Pisces Top), tank tops (Essence Crop Top) for layering, and a few pairs of must-have bottoms (think the Gigi Jeans and Fawn Pants). These pieces will have you prepped for the seasons ahead.  

Comfort Is Key  

This season is all about channeling effortless-chic in your daytime look and we are here for it. Think slouchy knits, hoods and of course, pockets. This season’s knitwear has classic neutrals and textures, as well as updated cuts so you’ll be achieving maximum warmth and style.

The Slater Jumper is the epitome of nonchalant, french girl cool. With the comfort of a hoodie and the luxury of a knit, this jumper is a must-have for all transeasonal wardrobes. Want to complete the look? The Mayra Pants embody what it means to be stylish and comfortable at the same time. They can take you from day to night. Whether it be a slouchy knit or a fitted top, the beauty of the Mayra Pants lies in their versatility.

Style tip: Try the Mayra Pants with a black basic for juxtaposition.  Add a longline cardigan or blazer and leave it open for a sophisticated silhouette.
