It’s never easy saying goodbye to summer, but the frisson that comes with fall’s fresh new looks more than makes up for it. And FW23 is a delight, packed with nonchalantly wearable designs, classic hero pieces and a hint of dark desire. Love is in the air…
There’s a throw-on-and-go glamour to fall dressing that makes quick work of contemporary chic. A clever mix of relaxed tailoring, comfy knits and tough-luxe details (military boots, a slouchy bag) makes looking on-point the easiest job on your to-do list.
Pared-back, utility pieces remain key to the fall wardrobe, and topping the list is the stylish sloppy joe. FW23 is packed with sumptuous woollen designs, from mittens and maxi skirts to a wealth of wraps. But the relaxed sweater is your key cosy buy.
Fall’s hero buys are the blazer and the luxe woolly scarf – two classic pieces that stepped firmly into the runway spotlight this season. You already know their worth, but now they’ve elevated their status to fashion-forward superstars.
From faded-denim jeans to the cashmere crewneck; the ladylike handbag to the tan trench, fashion has revisited classic designs for fall, acknowledging our desire for pieces with sartorial longevity and timeless allure. Invest in the best.
Part power dressing/part gothic glamour, the return of black to fall’s runways was all-encompassing. Think wickedly sensual skirts, scalpel-sharp tailoring, spiked kitten heels and softly sensual knits – all designed to awaken to our darkest desires.
