SCARLET FEVER

Nobody forgets the lady in red.

AW25’s dark reds — tones such as crimson, oxblood, and burgundy — brought sophisticated drama to the catwalks. Labels like Karl Lagerfeld and AllSaint raised a glass of rich red in the form of seductively powerful tailoring and chic long wool coats, while others looked to leather to create burgundy skirts and trousers. Full-length dresses and ball gowns added a powerfully feminine silhouette to the runway. This gamut of deep reds is perfect for tonal layering, but it’s key to mix up your textures, with wool, silk, and leather providing a trio of ways to add depth to the look. A red leather belt, clutch, or pair of patent leather heels are all cherries on a very indulgent layer cake.

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Untamed luxury for the wild child.

From leopard to snakeskin, AW25’s animal prints roar with bold sophistication. Labels such as Maje and Banana Republic have brought glossy patent trench coats, heeled boots, and midi skirts to
life in patterns and tones that honour the beauty and the muted colour palette of the savannah. Leather is the preferred canvas for these natural artforms, creating statement pieces that will
last a lifetime. If you want to dip your toe into the trend, then heeled leather boots by Stuart Weitzman are the way to go, or opt for a print blouse underneath a sleek suit to give a hint of your wild side. If you tend to wear neutral tones such as cream, then an animal clutch or shoulder bag by Coach will really turn heads in the urban jungle.

 Plaid Attitude

Good girls have plaid attitudes.

Plaids ignite AW25 with vibrant, modern energy, reimagining classic prints for the urban sophisticate. Designers like Polo Ralph Lauren and Sandro showcase winter checks with pops of bold accents in everything from wool coats and tailored jackets to punchy mini skirts and full-length dresses. These multi-seasonal pieces pair beautifully with vintage check scarves, adding a swish of texture and sustainable statement. Stick to darker plaid hues with bright accents for maximum impact, and double-down on the trend with a contrast plaid belt or pair of kitten heels by Steve Madden for multi-check splendour.
