Autumn, for many, is the season our wardrobes can truly shine. Trusty trench coats come out in all colours, thick, chunky knits are layered onto every look, and there’s no short supply of chic accessories to elevate any outfit – think kitten heels, double-strap belts and statement scarves, to name but a few. Plus, the season starts with four weeks of fashion shows, so there’s plenty of outfit inspiration to hand both on the runway and off of it through striking street style snaps.
However, as the fashion calendar works six months in advance, it’s the February shows that are the most important right now. It was here we saw the autumn/winter 24 collections that set the trends for this season: sheer fabrics, shaggy coats and chic capes included. Yet one material reigned supreme as the autumn-ready option to turn to: leather. And each luxury label gave a lesson on how to style it for the new season.
