As the temperatures in parts of our region begin to dip, even if only marginally, it’s finally cool enough to add a layer to your outfit with the perfect jacket. A casual denim number or a sequin-studded statement piece ups the ante for a Saturday night out, while a slim fit blazer, as seen at Balmain and Gucci, finishes off a more formal look.
The softer side

Think of velvet, and you’ll almost certainly think of opulence and grandeur; and fortunately for your autumn wardrobe, velvet is making a bold comeback. From prestigious houses such as Schiaparelli to popular street style brands like Sportmax, the fabric is entering a new era in terms of look and feel. Whether you want to push your style boundaries with an oversized velvet blazer paired with a miniskirt and opaque tights or steal the spotlight in a leather and velvet bi-material dress, this texture is the key to channelling a modern Marie Antoinette.

There’s a new shade in town, and it’s not messing around: olive green is stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight this season. From Fendi’s catwalk, where over-the-knee boots in this earthy hue stole the show, to Burberry’s all-green ensembles, the colour is making its way from Mediterranean groves to metropolitan life.
Mini mania

Long live the mini bag! These petite powerhouses are a fashion-forward girl’s best friend, shrinking the iconic silhouettes of our favourite models to pintsized perfection. Talk about minimalism: mini bags force you to carry only the essentials— phone, credit card, lipgloss—but what they lack in stature, they more than make up for in big attitude.
Hell for leather

Leather is the ultimate sartorial symbol of rebellion, whether in boots, jacket or our go-to bag. This season—if you dare— envelop yourself from head to toe in the supple material, à la Alexander McQueen and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
