Fashion Content // Top Trends of Autumn and Winter 2017*

It’s the new fashion season and everyone wants to know what’s in and what’s out. If you want to stay one step ahead, check out this style guide from Fulton Umbrellas — a leading supplier of premium fashion umbrellas in the UK.

Retro Contemporary
This season, you’re going to see modern nostalgia like never before. If you love anything quirky, autumn and winter 2017 is going to be packed with beautiful, vintage-inspired styles. Combining patterns of the past such as tweed, herringbone, dogtooth and florals with the shapes of the present day, this trend combines the best of both worlds for one effortlessly stylish trend. If you want to wear this style go for patterns and clothing that we think of as vintage blend into any outfit. Be daring and throw on a dogtooth coat, then polish off your vintage look with retro accessories. I am so exited for this style, this is my every day wardrobe so for once I’ll be fashionable!

Grungy Spiritualism
Grunge and grime is back and better than ever this season but there’s a mystical twist and this trend would be perfect for Halloween tomorrow. With a colour palette of grey-greens, dark blues and rich purples, look out for dark and dramatic prints with Victorian and Gothic influences. Of course, darker floral prints, metallic tones and galaxy patterns remain staples of the grunge trend. This screams Haunted Mansion to me. To wear this style put on a dark purple scarf or dress with chunky tights and boots for a mystical-grime look.

Patterned Expression
Prints, motifs and patterns are going to be big players in the style game this season. With a focus on sustainable fashion, look for fun prints and textures such as spots, doodles and brushstrokes. Ideally, prints should be dark in colour — like navy, grey and green — with bright accents. If this is your cup of tea you’ll find it’s effortlessly wearable and so easy to customise to suit your individual style, we think you’ll have lots of fun with this trend. Whether you’re going to work or out with friends, this print is simple to incorporate into your wardrobe through dresses, blouses and jackets.

All Natural
Autumn and winter fashion this year is massively inspired by the great outdoors. Think rich reds and deep browns with a statement-making leaf print to reflect the changing season. If you want something bolder, throw on bold snake and leopard patterns. Just remember: textures are important in this trend, so natural materials like tweed and wool will look and feel amazing as part of your winter wardrobe. The best way to present this trend is through accessories. Patterned umbrellas and handbags are a great place to start and excellent for building on if you want to incorporate more of the natural look. Because raw nature is such a bold trend, choose one standout statement piece like a tweed coat, leopard-print bag or chunky woollen cardi while keeping other aspects of your outfit muted.
