As the cold nights draw in and the leaves begin to fall, it’s time to assess what the world’s designers are favouring on the catwalk this autumn.
Fall fashion for 2013 looks set to favour clean, simple tailored lines in block colours or heritage prints. With the likes of Hugo Boss, Eileen Fisher and Marc Jacobs favouring a stripped down aesthetic in recent collections, it’s time to embrace minimalist accessories and style, for a look that’s firmly on trend!
If we’re talking handbags, you’d be hard pushed to find something which delights the current enthusiasm for minimalism and clean as lines as much as the gorgeous range from Mansur Gavriel. The brainchild of an American and a German duo (best friends, actually) this relatively new design house produces wonderfully classic, simple designs from high quality leather in natural, earthy colours. The effect is one of casual elegance and simplicity, reminiscent of 1960s Italy, and one that is just perfect for fall.
With the temperature dropping, now is the perfect time to unearth another fashion classic; the trench coat. They’re absolutely fabulous for the colder months and can be perfectly offset with an elegant pair of leather gloves. The stunning collection from Dents includes some wonderful pieces for timeless elegance and style.
Favouring the minimalist look is somewhat convenient when it comes to jewellery. In the sense that the less you wear, the better. However, there are accessories that contribute to the fabulous minimalist style. This gorgeously simple Calvin Klein wristwatch, from the range of ladies watches at Watch Warehouse, is distinctly masculine and has the clean lines and style that make it perfect for autumn 2013.
