easy style hack to like know these

play00:33

Trends and then be in style every single

play00:35

year without having to reinvent your

play00:37

wardrobe every time so let's get into

play00:40

some of those pieces and talk about how

play00:42

they're being reinvented for this year

play00:44

so you can still be on Trend without

play00:46

necessarily having to buy too

play00:50

much first off welcome back to my

play00:52

channel welcome if you're new here my

play00:54

name is Katie I talk about sustainable

play00:56

fashion discourse which definitely comes

play00:59

into play for this video because

play01:01

obviously investing in key pieces that

play01:03

you can rewear over years is so

play01:06

important to sustainable style and

play01:08

before I get into these specific pieces

play01:10

that I think reoccur season after season

play01:13

I want to do a little disclaimer I'm not

play01:15

here to like report on Niche micro

play01:17

trends that are on Tik Tok right now and

play01:19

will go out of style before we even get

play01:21

into winter I want to talk about the

play01:23

things that I've seen trending on

play01:25

Instagram and Pinterest and yes Tik Tok

play01:28

but they also come back season after

play01:30

season florals for spring groundbreaking

play01:35

and it's just that fashion girles wear

play01:37

them in a new way or think of different

play01:39

color combinations or just something

play01:41

different so you feel like you're

play01:42

wearing something new but actually you

play01:44

just have the same items on rupat and

play01:46

the good thing about all of these pieces

play01:48

being quite classic is that they're

play01:50

super easy to Thrift so you don't

play01:52

necessarily have to go out and buy

play01:53

something new or if you do want to buy

play01:55

something new you should invest in them

play01:57

and make sure they're really good

play01:58

quality so you can keep them longer so

play02:00

literally sustainability around let's

play02:02

get into it I think it might be a good

play02:04

idea to start with the colors that

play02:06

always come back for Autumn because I

play02:08

think this is a way you can get some

play02:10

really unique pieces while still being

play02:12

on trend for me this is quite neutral

play02:15

quite deep colors like burgundy and

play02:17

brown and a deep wine red but also

play02:20

recently I've seen forest green coming

play02:22

back season after season and just really

play02:25

like neutral natury colors that really

play02:28

remind you of the changing leavs and the

play02:30

transition and the really good thing is

play02:32

that I think these colors pair really

play02:34

well together and also with the other

play02:36

neutrals in your closet which means that

play02:38

if you're looking for a nail color for

play02:40

Autumn as well then any of the four I

play02:42

mentioned would do really well one color

play02:44

combination I think really works is

play02:46

cream and brown for this year personally

play02:49

what I kind of want to recreate is a

play02:51

brown jacket cream like lace blouse

play02:54

underneath and then black sort of washed

play02:57

denim I think that's such a nice look

play02:59

I'll try to find some examples but it's

play03:01

kind of in my head and obviously mixing

play03:04

the different Hues of these colors will

play03:06

definitely be a way to spice up the

play03:08

outfit and make it a little bit less

play03:10

boring especially if you want to wear

play03:12

multiple pieces in the same color

play03:14

because these are just colors you can

play03:16

really go to town on what form they take

play03:18

in your wardrobe and make it really

play03:20

unique personally I think investing in

play03:22

something that you can wear with

play03:23

multiple outfits is a really good idea

play03:26

just so you can always have that staple

play03:27

Autumn color in your outfit like a coat

play03:30

or a Blazer or a bag or shoes or jeans

play03:34

would make it a really easy reoccurring

play03:36

piece and just because a lot of these

play03:38

colors are very neutral very dependable

play03:41

it doesn't mean you can't have fun with

play03:43

them it doesn't mean you can't buy them

play03:45

in interesting ways in different

play03:46

patterns striped is always going to be

play03:49

in for Autumn because of how preppy it

play03:50

is so is Tartan so is plaid so buying

play03:53

pieces in these colors but in

play03:55

interesting patterns interesting

play03:56

textures even like corduroy or heavy w

play03:59

knits is a really good way to add

play04:01

interest to something that might

play04:02

otherwise be a bit basic I think one

play04:05

thing that's definitely coming back a

play04:07

lot this year but also will always be on

play04:10

trend is plaid specifically in skirts

play04:13

there's so many ways to style this but I

play04:16

think particularly the long Maxi slim

play04:19

pencil skirt looks so nice in this

play04:22

pattern especially paired with like a

play04:24

frilly summer blouse or a more Square

play04:27

heavier top I just think the balance of

play04:29

proportion looks so good here and

play04:31

obviously it's a really good one for

play04:32

getting in different colors and

play04:34

introducing an easy statement piece into

play04:36

your wardrobe like you could pair this

play04:38

with just a full outfit of neutrals and

play04:40

just have the color of the Plaid shining

play04:42

through and it would look so good going

play04:44

back to what I was saying about keeping

play04:46

your summer items alive through fall I

play04:48

think chunky knitwear is the easiest way

play04:51

to do this obviously any good wardrobe

play04:53

needs some good jumpers and sweaters but

play04:56

I think especially in Autumn there's a

play04:58

real chance to play with how you style

play05:01

them I love the chunky heavy oversized

play05:04

jumper look paired with like a mini

play05:06

skirt or box of shorts or that kind of

play05:09

like balance of proportions with a

play05:11

little summer bottom and a big Autumn

play05:13

top obviously the good part about autum

play05:16

is the weather starts to change it

play05:17

starts to get colder and you can really

play05:19

start playing with layering which I

play05:21

definitely abandon in summer and I think

play05:23

knowing how to layer is a really good

play05:25

cheat on making a good outfit in Autumn

play05:28

it doesn't even have to be hard it could

play05:29

literally be as simple as wearing a mini

play05:31

skirt a white T-shirt and a jacket but

play05:34

buttoning the jacket only at the top so

play05:36

it shows the rest of your outfit or

play05:37

wearing a mini skirt and biker boots

play05:39

like I said but having really long thick

play05:42

socks underneath the biker boots not

play05:43

only to help with the weather but to

play05:45

just add that layering option one thing

play05:47

I think again proves my point of like

play05:49

bringing summer bottoms into fall is

play05:52

people styling those lace maxi skirts

play05:55

that have been trending on Tik Tok for a

play05:57

while now with big oversized knit jump

play06:00

even though I didn't invest in this

play06:01

trend it's not really for me this lace

play06:03

Maxi SK I love how some of these have

play06:06

been styled especially this one where

play06:08

they've got a t-shirt poking through and

play06:09

then a jumper I just think the layers

play06:11

look so so good and I'll probably be

play06:13

recreating this as best as I can with my

play06:15

long white maxi skirt I thrifted this

play06:17

summer in Barcelona I think what's so

play06:19

good about it is the mix of femininity

play06:22

of the lace skirt and the really heavy

play06:24

chunky knitwear that opposition is what

play06:26

makes a really good outfit especially

play06:28

when you pair it with with chunky

play06:30

accessories and Boots like this girl has

play06:32

it just instantly says you know what

play06:33

you're doing with fashion I think

play06:35

obviously a leather jacket is just a

play06:37

really easy versatile piece for your

play06:39

wardrobe but I think it especially hits

play06:41

in Autumn there's just something about

play06:43

putting on a big heavy chunky piece like

play06:46

a leather jacket after a summer of bare

play06:48

shoulders and you know flimsy little

play06:51

dresses that just feels really nice to

play06:53

me and I think there's a lot of

play06:55

different styles you can shop to make

play06:57

sure you're getting the right style for

play06:58

you personally right now now I'm

play06:59

obsessed with a brown heavy leather

play07:02

biker jacket to match those biker boots

play07:05

but I also really like the car racing

play07:06

jackets I've seen a lot of people

play07:08

wearing and I think paying attention to

play07:10

the fit of the jacket is what's going to

play07:12

really make an impact for you personally

play07:15

I'm looking for something quite

play07:16

oversized something that comes below my

play07:17

hips so I can pair it with dresses and

play07:20

minis skirts and it still feels quite

play07:22

enveloping and cozy but I also think

play07:25

that going for a cropped version that

play07:26

sits on your hips or even a little bit

play07:28

higher could could work especially if

play07:30

you're going to pair it with jeans and

play07:32

obviously you can get these in a really

play07:34

fun color or with a fun stripe pattern

play07:36

if you're going for the racing jacket

play07:38

just to make it a little bit more

play07:40

interesting but definitely check if you

play07:42

can buy these thrifted first since

play07:43

there's so many already created and if

play07:46

you can get a secondhand real leather

play07:47

one versus a oilbased PE leather I think

play07:51

you'll definitely see a step up in

play07:52

quality now I'm not sure what's trending

play07:55

this season whether it's still adid Das

play07:57

sambers or whether we've moved on to a

play07:59

new new trainer or a new shoe but I've

play08:02

just been obsessed with these biker

play08:04

boots I wanted them when everyone was

play08:06

wearing them 2 3 years ago and I still

play08:08

want them now which is how I know that I

play08:10

should invest in the piece I think

play08:11

they're a really good statement piece

play08:13

and something that automatically makes

play08:15

your outfit feel a bit edgier a bit more

play08:17

Autumn and you can also pair them with

play08:19

your summer pieces to bring those items

play08:21

into fall like with a summer dress or a

play08:24

mini skirt I think this looks so so cute

play08:27

and I especially love it with like a

play08:28

maxi dress and the boots underneath I

play08:31

think that's so Chic but also the shoe

play08:33

that always comes back for order is a

play08:35

loafer it doesn't matter what style of

play08:37

loafer you get whether you like one with

play08:39

a little logo on it or whether you like

play08:41

it in a particular color one of the

play08:43

colors I've mentioned maybe but that

play08:45

kind of like preppy back to school Vibe

play08:47

is always going to be in for Autumn and

play08:49

then in terms of accessories this Autumn

play08:52

specifically I think we're going to be

play08:53

seeing a lot of like hobo bags and

play08:55

shoulder totes which I just think are so

play08:57

Chic and again I think finding them in

play08:59

those autumn colors would do you a

play09:01

massive favor if you want to be

play09:03

constantly on Trend and constantly feel

play09:05

like you're bringing Autumn to an outfit

play09:07

like I said preppy is always in I think

play09:09

a recent Trend that shows this is big

play09:12

glasses I've seen a lot of the girls on

play09:14

Pinterest a lot of the girls on

play09:15

Instagram wearing Square heavy oversized

play09:19

frames and I think it's really Chic I'm

play09:21

looking for a pair of these sunglasses

play09:23

thrifted I haven't been able to find any

play09:25

yet for a good price but I'll be

play09:27

snapping them up when I do in terms of

play09:29

hairstyles because preppy is always in

play09:32

it always works to go for a kind of

play09:34

plattered look or like hair proper scrap

play09:37

back kind of look putting up in a bun or

play09:39

whatever again I think all of these

play09:41

pieces are so classic they come back

play09:44

every year so it's a good idea to invest

play09:46

in them and make sure you're really

play09:48

paying attention to what you want and

play09:49

I've done a little video series on

play09:51

exactly how you can do that because I

play09:53

think it's so important to know what

play09:55

you're looking for and be able to get

play09:57

that online rather than settling for

play09:59

something you don't actually really like

play10:01

and then replacing it after a few years

play10:03

and of course even though I've given you

play10:05

a whole list of items that will always

play10:07

be in for full the person you need to

play10:09

listen to most is yourself because if

play10:11

you like one of the trends I've

play10:13

mentioned but you don't think it's going

play10:14

to fit in your wardrobe then you're

play10:16

probably not going to wear it anyway I'd

play10:18

love to know what you guys are excited

play10:19

for for Autumn and what you always pull

play10:22
