The ready-to-wear shows for the autumn-winter 2024-2025 s are over, and I’m ready to tell you what to wear in the upcoming season to look you best, so that you –

Well, really, for what reason should you look your best?

…When I worked in an office, I took the same train to work every day. And almost every day there was a young woman in the same train. This woman did not take care of herself so much that she attracted attention with her incredibly poor appearance. I had never seen her for more than half a year with her hair clean, not to mention styled. Her clothes carried just only one message: “I don’t care about myself absolutely, utterly, deeply”.

There are probably a million reasons to sympathise with her. Because not loving yourself as much as she did, since she looked like that and dressed like that, is hardly possible without trauma or some breakage inside.

However, I probably wouldn’t have hired her for a job. I would do my best to refuse her under one or another plausible pretext.

You can like it or hate it, but in many professional settings, appearance matters. Well-dressed individuals are often perceived as competent, put-together, and reliable.

Well, firstly, fashionable and stylish clothing is instrumental to self-expression. What we wear reflects our inner universe, tells the world about our creativity and taste. Because in one way or another the first impression of a person is created by the appearance, and often even before a chat starts.

Modern women recognize that dressing stylishly can positively impact their career prospects and overall success.

That’s probably why you read about fashion trends on kind of a regular basis.

Oversized Blasers and Pullovers for Fall and Winter 2024 /2025

It’s winter outside; there is snow, cold, and little sunlight. There is also occasionally wind and milky fog. You want to sip hot tea and cover yourself in a blanket. In addition, you want to gaze out the window or watch your favourite TV show while listening to the crackling logs in the fireplace.

However, you still have to make ends meet during the winter and carry on with your daily activities, such as taking your kids to the garden, working, hanging out with friends, and going to the movies. Ideally, you should also learn how to avoid freezing as much as possible and how to use less energy to stay warm.

There’s an escape route (c). These jumpers are cosy and cuddly, reminiscent of British cats. Take a peek at the styles you may create with them:

Monochromatic Looks for Autumn and Winter 2024

There are no disadvantages to a monochromatic colour scheme, only disadvantages.

• When compiling outfits in monochrome style, it is difficult to make a mistake. All shades of one colour perfectly combine with each other.
• A one colour look is one of the stylistic methods of figure correction. If you want to visually add growth, lengthen the silhouette or hide a little volume – go monochromatic.
• Monochrome looks are timeless. They – were, are and will be always relevant.

Little Black Dress and Total Black Looks

As you may have noticed, designers and couturiers almost always wear black when showcasing their creations. In luxury clothing boutiques the uniforms of sales assistants are also black. Why is it the case?

The explanation is straightforward: black makes things difficult to ignore.  If to pick up to black outfit statement accessories, the look will turn out sophisticated, fashionable, and—dare I say it—bright.

There is also the belief that everyone who experiences a string of emotionally taxing events occasionally feels the need to wear black because they are instinctively seeking tranquilly. It contains nothing evil or frightful at all.

Generally speaking, do not be alarmed if you discover that you are “drawn” to black, just try live it. Believe that such a state is periodically observed in everyone. It is also possible that the abundance of looks in black monochrome is nothing but a subconscious reaction of all of us to the events happening in the world.

LBDs in their collections presented just an incredible number of designers and fashion houses. You are sure to find a conventional one of your own, and if you wish – more than one.

LBD 2024

Back in 1926, Vogue magazine first published a sketch of the first little black dress authored by Coco Chanel.

There was also an article that stated that, due to its simplicity and accessibility, the little black dress would be worn by women of all incomes, and that every woman would look elegant in it. The little black dress should definitely become something like a uniform for all women with good taste.

To think that the little black dress will be a hundred years old in two years, and it is as relevant as ever!

I wish everyone could look like LBD when they are 98.

Beige and other neutrals

The beige trench coat is a symbol of classic style and elegance. Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hoepborn, Princess Diana, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marlene Dietrich, Jane Birkin, Kate Middleton, Emma Watson and many others wore / have worn it by now.

Trench coats, coats, suits and vintage-style beige dresses will be incredibly popular in the autumn-winter season in 2024–2025.

Revisiting fashion from the past allows you to connect with memories and relive carefree moments. I am absolutely sure you will enjoy experimenting with both old and new styles.

Beige suits everyone, provided that you have found your shade. The algorithm for finding your shade is very simple:

1. Try on a beige coloured item you like;
2. Look at yourself in the mirror—whether you like yourself in it or not.
3. If you like the way you look in it, buy it, if not – go back to point 1 and try on a different shade.

Monocromatic looks: tops with round sleeves

Long sleeves with unique designs  are currently on-trend. They add flair and make a fashion statement

Denim clothing and jeans Fall Winter 2024-2025

Most likely, each of you have at least a pair of jeans and some other item made of denim. Versitile, practical, comfortable—just for these qualities, we  love them forever. In autumn and winter 2024 / 2025, jeans, denim skirts and dresses will be popular, so it will be easy to choose exactly your style and cut you like, starting with the low-rise jeans, and ending with mom jeans.

As Ines de la Fressange once said, Jeans are like salt: good with everything

Tweed and chequered clothing FW 2024/2025

Tweed and checkered patterns are timeless classics that add sophistication and charm to any wardrobe.

Incorporate a checkered coat, skirt, or even a dress into your ensemble for a chic and sophisticated vibe. Tweed items will not be out of place even in five or ten years.

Striped womenswear FW 2024

Let me just remind you that Vertical stripes visually narrow the proportions, while horizontal stripes expand them. So, you might wear clothing with stripes that complement your body shape.

Asymmetrical shoulder lines

Asymmetrical shoulder lines add a touch of modernity and edginess to clothing. To incorporate this trend, wear, opt for dresses or tops with a single shoulder strap or sleeve. This asymmetric design draws attention to the exposed shoulder, creating a bold look. Pair a one-shoulder dress with statement earrings and sleek heels for an elegant evening ensemble.

Asymmetrical shoulder line helps break away from traditional symmetry and embrace a more dynamic and contemporary aesthetic. Whether it’s a one-shoulder dress or a creatively cut blouse, have fun experimenting with the trend.

Women’s leather clothing

Leather is no longer limited to jackets and pants. For FW 2024-2025, designers like Bottega Veneta, Prada, Armani and Fendi have introduced leather dresses, skirts, and some leather accessories. The focus is on rich textures and unexpected color combinations.

Leather clothing exudes timeless elegance and adds a touch of edginess to any wardrobe. Here are some stylish options for women:

Sheerling and Fur coats 2024

Shearling is a type of sheepskin or lambskin that has been tanned with the wool still attached. It’s incredibly soft, warm, and lightweight. No surprive that sheerling coats will be in demant in cold weather.

Shearling coats feel velvety against the skin, providing both comfort and style. You can find shearling jackets, vests, and long coats in flattering natural shades or eye-catching colors and patterns.

Here are some Fall Ready-to-Wear (RTW) 2024 collections where you can find stylish shearling coats:

• Zimmermann Fall 2024 RTW

The collection features a shearling jacket in chocolate paired with an Otto maxi skirt in mahogany. The look is completed with silk tights and the  Harlow Pump in chocolate.

• Helmut Lang’s Fall 2024 RTW

The collection includes a cement-colored shearling coat. The collection overall exudes softness and sophistication, with various other fashion-forward pieces.

• The Row

Keep an eye out for their shearling leather aviator jackets and other timeless pieces.

Coats made of natural fur provide exceptional insulation, perfect for cold climates. Moreover, fur exudes elegance and sophistication.

Shearling and fur outerwear is forever timeless, making it a valuable addition to your wardrobe.

Shearling accents are everywhere this season. Burberry, Chloé and Acne Studios have used shearling trims on collars, cuffs, and hems. It’s a cozy and luxurious addition to winter coats and jackets.

Florals in Fall and Winter RTW Collections 2024

Frolal prints are regulars in spring and summer, but there is just an abudance of prints in collections for a colder period of the year. Floral prints evoke femininity, nostalgia, and a sense of connection to nature.

Whether as a nod to history or a contemporary twist, floral motifs continue to captivate fashion enthusiasts across seasons.

Prada’s Fall 2024 Collection featured shearling elements alongside floral prints for full-skirted dresses. The juxtaposition of cozy shearling and delicate florals create a captivating contrast.

When shopping for the next season wardrobe, just remember that fashion collections of the womenswear Fall 2024 emphasize real-world elegance over fantasy. Bottega Veneta’s Matthieu Blazy said he was “interested in making a monument out of the everyday,” which in a sense has become the RTW Fall 2024’s collections’ motto.

Fashion becomes a canvas for contrasting narratives, both of which are equally effective in their own right. Oscillating between the everyday and the extraordinary, fashion invites us to explore its various dimensions.

So let’s take this invitation and have some fun.
