Best autumn winter fashion trends to know in 2019
Nine key trends from the autumn 2019 catwalks
Autumn fashion and winter fashion is now upon us, meaning it's now time to turn our heads to the catwalks at New York, Paris, Milan and London Fashion Week to check out this season's biggest trends.
If you want to avoid this year's rush over that perfect beige leather trench coat, or the flattering suit that fits all, be ahead of the game by getting in early and seeing the best looks and pieces to know from the get-go. Including the colours you need in your wardrobe to the 2019 'it' print, here are all the autumn/winter fashion trends we'll be wearing in 2019.
Statement suits - autumn/winter fashion trend
Suits are more than just a dreary office option next season; they're an entire fashion statement. Designers like Acne and Lemaire showed grey, structured options, while Erdem went all-out in green and Hugo Boss stuck to the colour of the season: beige. Basically, as long as it matches, you can make it work.
Haya trouser yellow slim fit tailored trousers
Puffy sleeves - autumn/winter fashion trend
Puffy sleeves are here to stay, baby! Or, should we say, shoulder detailing. Everyone from Prabal Gurung to Alexander McQueen and Giambattista Valli showed statement shoulders. If you want to dip your toe into the trend, try tailored blazers and pair with wide leg trousers, or look out for dresses with romantic shoulders.

Head-to-toe beige - autumn/winter fashion trend
Forget everything you ever believed about beige being boring; this neutral colour palette is the only one to be seen in this autumn. Best worn in multiple shades of the hue, loose tailoring is the way forward. Take the lead from designers such as Valentino, Burberry, Chloe, and Fendi and shop pieces now that you can layer when the weather gets colder.

Quirky bags - autumn/winter fashion trend
If you only buy one accessory for next season, make it a statement bag. Whether that's a teeny tiny bag, like the ones shown at Jacquemus, or an oversized holdall like the ones at Jil Sander, Rejina Pyo and Off-White, it should be worthy of starting a conversation. Oh, and a neutral colour palette works best.

Leather basics - autumn/winter fashion trend
Next season, leather will come in all forms; from a classic biker jacket, to trousers and even dresses. Plus there'll be plenty of vegan options. To really nail the trend, look out for coloured pieces and pair with knitwear and excellent accessories, like Tod's, Roberto Cavalli and Eudon Choi.

Forget skinny jeans - next season, we'll all be wearing the baggiest trousers we can get our hands on. The good news is this style is flattering for most people, and so easy to wear; just pop on a pretty blouse for work, or layer with a jumper. Heels will lengthen your legs, but trainers look cool, too.
