The colder months have officially arrived meaning it’s time to discover this year’s key winter fashion trends. Sure all we’ve needed over recent weeks has been an umbrella and wellies, but there are some much more fun AW23 trends to know about – and while the sun may still occasionally be shining it’s never too early to get clued-up. Particularly, let’s be honest, when it’ll take many of us a moment to get our heads around some of the slightly more left-field looks.
Meteorological chaos aside, all this new season fashion fun is actually one of the most exciting things about the arrival of winter. And for fellow lovers of layers, just the *thought* of a good coat atop some super chic knitwear sees us – dare we say it – wishing for those lower temperatures.
If you’re eager to see what your wardrobe might look like this winter keep reading, because thanks to the world’s four fashion capitals – that’s New York, London, Milan and Paris – who are always ahead of the curve, autumn/winter 2023’s fashion trends were forecasted way back in February.
These are the key sartorial takeaways to prep yourself for the new season…
1. PERPETUAL PLEATING
One of the simplest ways to elevate a look, pleating is back in a big way this winter. Whether you opt for a soft, draped pleat à la Loewe or a more intricate, dense pleat like Paco Rabanne and Rokh, it’s a great way to add a sense of texture without overcomplicating a look through various different fabrics or layers. Keep the rest of your outfit relatively monochrome in order to let the pleating do the talking.
