What’s hot this autumn?

Turn the brights on
Not too keen on the usual autumnal blacks, browns and navies? This is your year, with bright colours tipped to shine throughout the season. Coats, knits and separates in feminine pinks, stunning oranges, sunshine yellows, gorgeous greens and bold blues – with tights to match – have been hitting the catwalks and are coming your way to brighten up the autumn.

Designer’s dash of dreams
Want something different this autumn? Keep a look out for Roberto Cavalli’s collection, due to hit the racks at selected H&M stores in November. Renowned for dressing a galaxy of celebs including Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sharon Stone, Cavalli has promised to “add a dash of festivity and dreams” to his collection which will include lingerie and matching accessories. Sounds interesting…

Go big – on everything!
Outsize is in this autumn with oversized, chunky jumpers perfect for wearing over skinny jeans and long cardigans which are great when it’s not quite cold enough for a coat. But it’s not just big knits that are in. Oversized suit jackets are one of the season’s trends, and again, great to wear with narrow trousers. And, don’t forget the bag – that should be big, too!
