Today's post is all about the fashion trends for this season, from the designer catwalk interpretations, to the highstreet versions. You don't have to follow fashion trends at all, but I thought I would collate some highstreet items for those who do want to try a few new trends, in their wardrobes.
I have 8 different trends to share with you; animal print, silver, plaid/check/tweed, 70s brown, pleats, winter floral, pastel blues and slogans. My personal favourites are animal print, slogans, pastel blue and check/plaid/tweed. Although, I would like to try 70s brown, as I haven't worn anything brown for a few years, apart from leopard print, but I am unsure if it will suit my style.
From leopard to zebra, all animal prints are on board for this trend. According the catwalk, more is more with animal print, and even layering the different prints. Be bold and confident; try the powerful head-to-toe look. But if you are unsure of this trend, go subtle with animal print accessories within your wardrobe.

Brown is definitely the new black this season. Whilst there are other key colour trend's too, 70s brown stands out the most. From using it on accessories to a full head-to-toe 70s brown look, the catwalk has been awash with shades of brown. A 70s brown bag is a perfect way to introduce this trend into your own personal style, but if you want to go bold, try a suit or jumpsuit layered with more brown accessories.

A big rival to animal print this season, is plaid/tweed/check. From bold punky tartan to heritage check, there were plenty of bold & subtle ways to wear this trend. This trend is extremely versatile; from fun rock 'n' roll styling, to classical workwear. A scarf is a great way to do this trend subtly, and a suit or coat is great for those who want to go all-out for this timeless trend.

If 70s brown isn't this trend for you, then why don't you try the lighter pastel blues. Designers have used this traditionally spring shade for winter, which is a fresh take on the colour. The catwalks have used pastel blues for suits and slouchy jumpers, as well as accessories. The highstreet has picked up on this icy trend, using it for coats to cute beanie hats.

Get ready to say how you feel or pledge allegiance to a brand, slogans are huge this AW. From t-shirts to shoes, slogans are on everything on the catwalk, and on the highstreet too. A cute simple t-shirt is a great way to try this trend. But for the bolder person, try a full outfit with blaring slogans and logos.

Pleats were huge on the catwalk this season. From pleated to trousers to pleated skirts, the knife-pleats are here to rock your wardrobe. The catwalk styling of them has more of an edge this season, pairing pleats with slouchy jumpers and chunky shoes, instead of delicate blouses. The highstreet loves this trend, as there are plenty of pleated skirts and trousers to try. You can even try pleats through a headband, if you are unsure of a pleated skirt.

Winter florals are all about taking floral prints to the darker side of colour spectrum. Using darker colours within the floral print and layering with other dark colours, is how the catwalk is doing this trend. The highstreet has plenty of floral pieces for this trend, from scarfs to dresses. A great way to try this trend without breaking the bank, is taking you summer floral strappy dresses, and layering them with dark jumpers and boots. Trying a trend doesn't always mean having to buy new items.

This final trend is one for the party season. Silver is bold, fun and futuristic. Go head-to-toe for a head-turning look, or add a slash of silver with accessories. The catwalk loved this slightly sci-fi inspired trend. On the highstreet, silver glitter and sequins are key. This trend is going to be perfect for a Christmas or New Years party look. But for a stylish day interpretation, layer a slouchy jumper with either a silver skirt or trousers.
