The weather might not know it yet – despite the forecast showing showers for much of the coming week, temperatures are still hovering around 20 degrees (yes, this is both a weather *and* fashion forecast, you’re welcome) – but autumn is in the air. The new season collections are already flooding into all of our favourite shopping destinations, forcing the remaining summer dresses, Bermuda shorts and sandals in stock into the sale section. Similarly, the butter yellow, lawn green and abundance of every shade of ivory are being replaced by more seasonally suitable tones as autumn has declared its trending colours to know early doors.
And what are those colours, you ask? While cobalt blue remains, it’s being joined by vibrant shades of aqua, moody olive, chocolate brown, and most notably, burgundy. The berry hue dominated autumn/winter 2025 last year, and it looks like this year is set to be no different.
Of course, it does still feel a little early to be pulling out our cold weather wardrobe. So, if you’re looking for subtle, easy ways to get some early style points and start introducing the colour into your day-to-day looks, allow us to suggest a satin scoop-neck cami top, like this one from Next.
This elevated basic can be effortlessly dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Pair it with white linen trousers, a scarf belt knotted round your waist, and your jelly ballet flats for late summer date nights. Jeans and sneakerinas feel cool and casual for running errands and coffee dates. And when the mercury does start to drop, throw on an oversized, slouchy V-neck jumper that allows just a peep of a satin strap to stick out.
