As autumn approaches and the urge to refresh your wardrobe kicks in, it’s worth considering a more sustainable approach: shopping your own closet. The good news? Many of 2024’s key trends are likely already in your wardrobe, just waiting to be restyled. Instead of splurging on new items, here’s how you can make the most of what you already own.

1.ANIMAL PRINT

Animal print remains a staple this autumn. Whether it’s a leopard print blouse or snake-print accessories, pair these bold pieces with neutral tones like brown, beige, back or ivory to keep the look modern and balanced.

2. DENIM ON DENIM

The double-denim trend is back. Match similar shades together or mix different shades for a fresh take—think light-wash shirts with dark jeans. Add a complementary bag (shades of brown, tan or orange work well here) a printed scarf or bold metallics to elevate the look.

3.RED

Red is having a moment this year, so if you have anything sitting unworn in your wardrobe in this colour, it’s time to start making the most of it. If you are not a fan of bright bed, burgundy is a lovely, more classic alternative. Bags, shoes or even skirts and jumpers are great ways to wear red this autumn. 

4.BOHO CHIC

Suede is central to the boho chic trend. If you’ve got a suede jacket or bag lying around, pair it with streamlined, modern items like jeans and a blue/white button down or keep the boho trend going by adding a patterned top that screams boho!

5.CHECKS

Checks are timeless and also currently trending. Use  your favourite check as a statement piece in your outfit and pair with complimentary neutrals. Throw on a checked blazer to add structure to a monochrome outfit or style your favourite checked trousers with a chunky knit and boots for a cosy autumn look.

Before you buy into the latest trends, take a closer look at your wardrobe. With a bit of creativity, you can style your existing pieces to align with autumn 2024’s top trends, saving money and embracing a more sustainable fashion approach.

Until next time,
