Top 5 trends at the moment

Keeping up with style trends in any given season can be quite difficult, let alone in a transitional period like the one we are in now, between summer and autumn. To help you keep on top of what’s going on in the world of fashion, here is a quick rundown of the top 5 trends dominating at the moment.

Wedge heels have been big all summer and that trend looks set to continue into autumn and winter. Instead of the wedge sandals that have been prominent over the warmer months, retailers are now starting to sell wedge heeled boots. This type of heel gives a great deal of additional support, so is great for walking over ice and snow without sacrificing the additional height.

Faux fur is making its traditional seasonal comeback as colder weather appears on the horizon. In particular coats with fur lined hoods and fur lined boots are going to be very popular, for practical reasons as well as fashionable ones.

Prints such as floral and animal prints have been consistently popular all summer. As the sunny weather fades, so does the popularity of floral prints, but leopard print is a consistent favourite and will be carried over into lots of autumn and winter wear.

Work boots have been consistently popular all year and are garnering even more of a following now we have to prepare for cooler weather. These boots are exceptionally comfortable but look great, complementing the grudge and biker trends that have sprung up in women’s wear this season.

A final favourite trend for the upcoming months is coloured jeans. Although black, grey and blue are the most popular and traditional colours for jeans, bright daring shades of red and purple are making a comeback. Be sure to pair these bright colours with more demure tops and accessories, otherwise you risk going overboard and crossing the line between colourful and garish.
