Unlock the Secrets of Autumn's Runway-Inspired Allure

Layering and Structured Outerwear: The New Autumn Essentials

The recent spring/summer 2025 fashion shows may have had sunnier days in mind, but the layering, structured outerwear, and bold prints showcased on the runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris are proving to be equally captivating for the autumn season. In London, Chopova Lowena's patterned tights, metal hardware, and three-quarter-length, snake-print leather jackets offered a fresh take on transitional dressing. Meanwhile, in New York, LaQuan Smith's military-style shirts, translucent trench coats, and oxblood feathered jackets commanded attention. And who could forget the iconic Saint Laurent show in Paris, which brought back the brand's famous tailored look with 1980s-style shoulder pads, polka dot ties, and heavy leather bomber jackets? These runway-inspired pieces seamlessly blend style and function, making them the perfect companions for the changing weather.

Embracing the Glamour of the Past: Retro-Inspired Beauty Trends

The beauty trends showcased on the autumn runways were equally captivating, with a strong emphasis on retro-inspired glamour. In London, Tolu Coker's show featured models donning voluminous beehives and graphic black and white eyeliner with diffused corners, channeling the allure of the 1960s. Harris Reed took it a step further, creating full doll eyes complete with long, sticky lashes and warm, golden bronze eyeshadows. But it was perhaps Luar who best embodied the vampiness of the season, with models sporting glossy black lips and exaggerated brows.
