If you’re looking for fresh styling ideas, these distinctive key pieces will enliven your existing look …
Upgraded jean jackets
Old school denim hero, the humble jean jacket has been re-worked thanks to touches like corduroy collars and moody, dark washes.
Tailored black trousers
If the thought of wearing black tailored trousers – note the fit: it’s none too loose, nor too fitted – and matching loafers sounds a little corporate, then think again. The nine-to-five stalwart is having a normcore makeover at the hands of stylish dressers. See: Alexa Chung who proves that this wardrobe basic can have a rock-and-roll edge.
XL trench coats
Tea dresses
Chalk it up to noughties nostalgia (or the return of Topshop … we loved a tea dress on Kate Moss in the 2000s), but tea dresses are experiencing a welcome resurgence. This time, they’re more luxurious, executed in silk fabrics (see Dôen’s Dianne floral silk dress) with seasonally-appropriate dark florals. Style yours for the transitional weather with bare legs and an ankle-length coat.
Vintage-look flares
As denim trends ricochet around the fashionsphere, and we debate whether or not to succumb to barrel-leg jeans, a well-cut flare is always a constant. A little bit ’70s, a little ’90s, the right pair teams perfectly with the season’s square-toe boots.
Blocks of red

Small pops of red have long been a go-to for the fashion pack, adding excitement to any outfit. Now, it’s all about replacing accents with blocks of crimson in casual barn jackets and trousers. (We love Monikh’s red jeans with a statement belt, above.) If the trend entices you, consider going one step further and doubling down with shade of the moment, burgundy.
