Autumn is almost upon upon us. But don't despair, with the cold spell comes the chance to indulge in an all new set of style rules.
For AW15, the 70s are the decade du jour, suede is king, and according to the street style set: a pair of Adidas are all the shoe you need. Which all adds up to one seriously chic fashion cocktail for your off-duty wardrobe.
Our style hunter has been on the look out for the hottest takes on A/W trends on the streets, and we've picked the 40 chicest outfits - in the gallery below - to inspire your casual looks. That's enough to model 20 weekends worth of style on.
Not sure where to start? Try these 3 key looks out for size...
70s denim
Invested in flares for Spring Summer, or even better flared dungarees? Wise move, sister. Wide leg denims are still big news. Upgrade them for colder climes with a cosy knit.
**Statement neutrals
**
You don't have to go bright for a bold look. Channel a tactile approach to the 70s trend with suede, fringing or a spot of snakeskin, or hey - why not mix 'n' match.
Wrap it up
The most omnipresent accessory of the season is most definitely the neckerchief. It might not keep you all that warm, but it will look impossibly chic with a Breton top or statement sweater.
