Fashionistas- what's going to be in this autumn?

[paddleboardingmum]

What are the main trends going to be would you say?

So the Davina McCall look.

Judging by what I saw in the shops yesterday, blouson jackets often with funnel necks and/or patch pockets, military styling, satin, faux fur collars.

I fucking hate kitten heels too.

Looks like I’ll be very “out” this autumn.

So am I. I'm a freckly redhead( now nearly white) and brown is so much more flattering on me than black or grey. This summer I've loved my long dark brown linen dress, trousers and shirt, had compliments on them which doesn't often happen!

I was reading something about catwalk trends and slim jeans were mentioned as coming back. More practical for wet weather at least! I don't mind brown (was also my school uniform) because it's wildly flattering on me 😂 I hope that horrible bright green colour (not chartreuse, which doesn't suit me but I like it) disappears!

I just popped into Sainsbury’s. The clothes section was a sea of brown.
Funnel necks seem to be big not juts jackets but shirts as well. Scarf and bow necks as well. Slogan T-shirts still a thing. Not much floating my boat apart from long sleeve raglan T-shirts

Love kilts, pleats and brown. Have lots of stuff already.

Do not like funnel necks with big boobs. And no thanks to chartreuse!

I hope drop waists disappear. Impossible for me with my belly!

Burgundy's the colour of A/W again, same as last year. And everything with a check of some sort.

Brown 🤮

Skinny jeans are back which makes sense cycle wise.

I shall be deeply unfashionable then 😁

TBH I don't really understand the concept of colours being "in" or " out". Most people look better in colours that suit them so, as a jewel winter, I won't be wearing brown, faun or any other sludgy colour.

I appreciate brown suits some people but it also turns off such a large section of the population I can’t believe it’s a good business decision. There were certainly a lot of brown items left in the M&S sale in my local store.

Exactly, hence my earlier comments.

I love a kilt though so I might do some online window shopping.

I tend to carry on wearing what I've got as everything in the shops is hideous.

I bought some lovely kilts in the Celtic and. Co sale earlier in the year so am pleased to see them still in fashion.

The reality of Autumn dressing on ordinary bodies looks like Fisk to me.

And ‘quiet luxury’ doesn’t work on my busty barmaid figure. So I‘m out.

Going to blame the tinned goods survival era and wait it out until Christmas…Ugh, although that’s another dreary parade of unflattering shaped knitwear and cliche colours…

I don’t want to wear colours because they’re “in”. I want to wear colours that I like. And I really resent that now shops just have a couple of colours and expect everyone to conform to them.

Thank goodness I like black.

Love, love, love the purple colours. They really suit me.

@ScreamingabdabzFisk 😆😆

I’ve just given all of mine to the charity shop

I absolutely love brown, and orange, and green - burgundy and purple make me look dead (but I do like burgundy).

I think slouchy, wide jeans are in - also love - and that barrel leg is becoming a bit over-saturated now. The funnel necks are a no from me.

I’m so sick of all the brown. It’s everywhere. I don’t even go into the shops anymore because of it (probably isn’t a bad thing).

They've been running 'skinny jeans are back' articles for the last two autumns at least. And of course eventually they will filter down again. But a lot of people only got into a wider, looser leg quite recently so I don't expect another mass switch for a while yet and, from what I've seen so far, high street buyers seem to agree.

I do however expect to see more narrower straight legs around this autumn, especially if the weather predictions are accurate.

Apart from the Stella McCartney outfit, which aren't skinny, that is a truly ugly collection of clothes.
