Autumn is finally here, my favourite season is upon us and I can't wait to share the greatest fashion trends for Autumn this year. I've been keeping a record of many bold styles and patterns that I feel are on trend right now, below I'll be sharing a collection of my favourite looks from some of my favourite online retailers. This is without a doubt my time of the year and the trends I am seeing today accent my wardrobe perfectly!
Lets get started so you can get shopping...
Animal Print
You won't need me to tell you that animal print has made it's yearly come back. The main print of the season is Zebra print and Snake skin which have been worn by many celebrities like Rihanna, Steff Lon Don, Rita Ora, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. Fashion week was filled with animal print galore and I was there to experience the masters at work, showcasing their wearable art (faux of course).

As you can see the more print the better, I love to style prints together like this especially with a chunky fur coat, knee high boots and a thick belt to hold me in at the waist. Rihanna and Nicki have gone all out on their bold prints even down to the shoes they wear, so if you plan to be bold this season animal print is the look for you. Find similar styles like these on PLT, Boohoo and Missguided.
Pinafores
I've always enjoyed styling a cute Pinafore, yes it may take you back to the early 90s (your awkward phase) but its one of the most comfortable clothing items to date and I feel it suits every shape and figure. I've noticed theres a theme to this season and most of it is taking us back to the late 80's early 90s where Fashion was at its best! Many online retailers are showcasing their unique versions of a Pinafore and styling them ready for Autumn. My advice would be to always wear flats when it comes to a Pinafore, style them with thick tights, long or short sleeved top/polar neck and cute pumps or winter boots. Below you can see that PLT have styled their Pinafores with short sleeves and even a jumper!

Teddy Jackets
Teddy jackets are new to my fashion radar. Picture them as if your summer jean jacket has been revamped into a north pole cuddly teddy bear. All the rage this season and Autumn 17 I'm finally ready to make my first purchase! They come in many colours and sizes and work perfectly for the hot and cold Autumn Season. I'd love to style this jacket with a thin knit jumper, thick jeans and boots. You could also buy a oversized version to throw off your shoulders, wrap a fanny pack round your waist and finish the look off with some knee high boots. I'm looking forward to styling the Teddy jacket this season and I can see this being a trend over the Christmas period as well.

Shell Suit co-ord
I'm not fighting it but the 80s are back! Have you ever watched the Fresh Prince of Bel-air and wondered why Will Smith's style is more on point than your current wardrobe today? Shell suits are here to prove that fashion really does come round full circle and we love it all! You could say Shell suits like the one listed below are more a summer/festival vibe but no. Autumn is the season for the shell suit and this cute co word set has been catching my eye on many online retailers and in a variety of colours as well. I would style this with skin coloured tights (because it is still Autumn) and sexy black heels, add the big gold hoops and you're ready to go. This co ord can be dressed up or down, either way its here to stay and we love it.

Tartan
Tartan is a very old yet a very popular print that we usually associate with Scottish Kilts, unless you're like me...
When I think of Tartan I think of Clueless and Friends, Rachel was an icon when it came to her cute yet sassy fashion sense and we all know why Clueless comes to mind (who pulls off yellow tartan)!
Tartan has made a MAJOR come back this season. I've never seen so much love for Tartan like I am seeing now, it was so hard to get your hands on a Tartan blazer 5 years ago and now Boohoo have a whole range for you to choose from. Primark are also selling cute Tartan skirts with thick knit jumpers and I love the short cropped jumpers with a tartan skirt, thick tights and pumps. 90s Rachel can now make her come back and as always I'm all here for it.

Throughout the Autumn season you'll see many quirky styles thrown together, Autumn is all about layers and patterns. Most of the time people like to blend in with the Autumn trees, the leaves are a style of their own and thick knits are finally back on trend again. Enjoy styling your key pieces and remember that theres no such thing as too much when it comes to this colourful Season.
