Autumn fashion trends 2022 – nostalgia meets euphoria
AW 22 fashion trends: a mix of minimalist nostalgia and monochrome elegance
The ultra-wide jeans
Picking up on our post-Covid need for comfort, the wide trouser trend is not strictly new. This season, however, it is becoming a wardrobe staple with an oversized twist.
The fashion-obsessed crowd is on the lookout for the ideal ultra-wide denim – as seen on Balenciaga’s AW22 models. Paired with a tank top and tailored jackets – think skating vibes with a slouchy elegance – they're proving to be the ultimate wardrobe item of the season.
90s minimalism in neutral colours
Gwyneth Paltrow is turning 50 this month and 90s minimalism is once again very much the look du jour. Championed by Prada with the much-desired tank top, it is worn this season in a muted tone.
The back-to-school tailored look
You may have spotted the new campaign from ARKET with none other than Financial Times editor and ultimate Londoner Jo Ellison sporting a revisited business wardrobe.
Practical, seductive and powerful.
The timeless piece
The arrival of cooler days are often associated with a back-to-school mood. It's a mood that tends to channel a desire to purchase timeless and priceless pieces. Adding to that, there is an increasing rise in the importance of shopping sustainably. In an ever more unsettled environment, it seems that all we want is fashion that will convey eternity.
The trench
We don’t know anyone who's ever regretted purchasing a Burberry trench. But we're also inspired by the high-street options.
Friulane
Venetian friulane slippers are everywhere at the moment, from the streets of New York to the cobbled alleyways of Panarea and they are perfect for the transitional season. The Mary Jane version is probably ideal for London life but then again, the choice is infinite.

Punk preppy: leather, grand bag, ties and loafers
We all agree that the concept of 'dressing your age' is outdated. Well then, why not embrace the preppy look, spotted in many AW22 collections?
Following Miu Miu's grand relaunch of the miniskirt last season, the preppy trend got picked up by Gucci, Ralph Lauren and Celine – and with a punky touch!
Radical pink
There is no way to avoid wearing bright pink this autumn.
Granted, we may have mixed feelings about the Barbiecore trend. But then, how can anyone resist Valentino’s Pink PP monochrome collection, conceived by Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli in collaboration with Pantone?
