Must Have

autumn/winter 2019 FASHION TRENDS For

Fashion weeks have come to an end in New York, London, Milan and Paris, and the latest designs are making their way from the catwalk to the streets. From bright colors to out-of-the-box eyewear, these new styles and fashion predictions will be making themselves known everywhere you look. Whether you need to update your wardrobe or you’re just looking for a bit of inspiration, stay ahead of the curve with these top fashion trends from Autumn/Winter 2019 Fashion Weeks.

1. Neon Turtlenecks Brighten up those cold days with the help of a neon roll neck. This is an essential staple for those who like to put on a modern twist on a classic piece. Style this item with dark colors to make the flour standout or pair it with contrasting colors such as blues and reds to make a real statement.

However you choose to wear this winter apparel, you’re sure to be the boldest one in the room.

2. Androgynous Style Fashion and gender fluidity go hand-in-hand. Androgynous style doesn’t conform to a specific gender and is devoid to stereotypes. To achieve this look, opt for loose fitting clothes, such as oversized suits, denim jackets and men’s shirts. Dark colors have an instant unisex flair, but feel free to step out of the box and introduce bold shades into the mix. Androgyny is all about flexibility, rebellion and keeping it sleek; don’t be afraid to try something new.

3. Chunky Chain Necklaces Make a statement with a large, chunky chain. Necklaces don’t always have to be delicate, and even the most intricate outfits could benefit from something bold. Whether it be silver, gold or bronze, accessories like this will up the ante on any outfit and create a rebellious aesthetic.

Style this jeweler with a roll neck and trousers for an at leisure vibe, or put a spin on a feminine outfit by pairing the oversized baling with a dress and heels. The choices are endless, and they’ll all look great on you.

4. Personalised Hair Pins Keep your hair in place and express yourself at the same time with the help of a personalized hairpin. Sparkling, daring and intriguing, these hair accessories will turn every head you walk by. Choose to empower yourself, spread awareness or even just wear your name; there is also no limit to how you can style these. Whether you choose to identify yourself as a boss, feminist or a star, these jewels will keep you looking stylish and sleek. You can even wear more than one and rock an entire sentence on your locks!

5. Snakeskin Footwear Slither through the streets with style in a pair of snakeskin shoes.

From boots to sandals, this animal skin footwear is the perfect way to tie an outfit together. Go guilt-free by wearing a killer pair of faux snakeskin knee-high boots and a midi skirt, or switch things up a bit with reptilian heels and an all-black outfit. You don’t have to keep the viper skin in a traditional color; out of the box colors such as blues or pinks also look amazing when styled with analogous shades. With shoes this amazing, you’ll be the biggest trend-setter out there.

6. Buckle Bags Buckle up; we’re going on an adventure to find the freshest bag of the season. These purses are a beautiful statement piece that amplifies any getup. Whether you choose to have an oversized fastening plastered on the centre of your handbag or you’d prefer something a little low-key, you’re sure to lock down a few compliments. Coordinate the accessory to your outfit, or make it stand out by keeping the outfit in classic black or white. There are endless options for this trend, so don’t be afraid to keep them guessing with something new!

7. Square Sunglasses Who says it’s not hip to be square? Protect your peepers and look perfectly polished with a pair of straight-edge sunnies. Sharp and modern, these glasses are a fabulous accessory to add to your collection. Choose a large type, or something a little bit smaller and subdued; the options are limitless. To keep it classic, opt for a solid black pair with quadrilateral edges or spice things up with pastel lenses and frames. Sunglasses are ever evolving, but these frames will stay timeless, and for good reason. Nothing says style like a 90° angle!

10 Commandmentsof

Men's fashion trends

for Fall/Winter 2019-2020 As in seasons passed, designers played their failsafe cards, with oversized shoulders ever-present on the runways, as well as extreme padding, lashings of leather and faux-fur.

Streetwear and sportswear joined forces, with officewear reincarnated in the form of suit/parka ensembles for a firmly preppy air. Not to mention the array of prints, from the wild to the subtly poetic. Here is our edit of the 23 key menswear trends of Fall/Winter 2019-2020.

1. The skin-baring suit Gone is the shirt and the roll-neck sweater of last winter. Bare skin is the only accessory needed (preferably worn with an unbuttoned jacket).

2. Illustrated knitwear Last season logo-printed T-shirts exploded on the runways, but this Fall/Winter sees knitwear tattooed with illustrations take center stage. Woolen pieces were infused with a quasi-poetic spirit and lots of photos

3. Monochrome Whether its beige, off white, chalk white or gray, the monochrome look is the epitome of quiet confidence.

4. Men in black Meticulously tailored suits, with white shirts and ultra-skinny ties...The officewear look - slimfit at Some and baggy at others - has hijacked the menswear runways..

5. The neck bag So many designers sparked the idea this summer: shed the superfluous, carrying only the bare-necessities in a teeny-tiny bag worn around the neck. And the idea went fashion viral

6. Mix & Match A leather or a denim jacket? A chequered blazer or a navy-blue suit jacket? A cardigan in black or camel? You no longer need to chose.

7. Extra-long scarves A winter must-have, the scarf is worn cocoon like, in bright colors and dramatically long. The colors, Patterns and the thickness become the key identifications from one Fashion house to another.

8. Full Leather One of the fashion commandments this winter? Those who dare to wear full leather will have their style credentials confirmed in a blink.

9. Leopard print The kitsch motif par excellence, leopard print has endured the turn of the season, this winter shining on coats from Milan to Paris. How better to free your wild side?

10. Oversized puffers For many seasons, the puffer has remained a staple trend of the streetwear wardrobe. This winter, even bolder than before, Designer labels crowned the key piece with a built-in cross-body bag.
