Hold the Black Dresses—This is the Elegant Colour Trend Fashion People Will Be Wearing This Autumn
Just wait: the brown dress trend will be in every fashion person's rotation come autumn. Read on to discover how Victoria Beckham is already styling hers here.
Pause the black dresses. If you want to get ahead on your autumn wardrobe, I suggest making one simple swap to put you in step with the new season. Taking my cues from Victoria Beckham, I'll be trading a classic LBD rich brown dress this autumn.
Opting for a sleek slip silhouette, Victoria’s dress retained the lightweight, throw-on energy that late-August dressing calls for. But its rich brown hue gave the look a richer autumnal energy, nodding to the season ahead without feeling too far removed from summer.
Styled with minimal accessories, the deep brown shade brought all of the depth and dimension that the look needed. Chic in its simplicity, the elegant hue holds its own without requiring much else. Worn as a simple slip with sandals whilst we wait out the warmer months, this decadent dress trend will easily transition into autumn, too—just swap your sandals for a pair of heeled boots when the temperatures begin to drop.
Simple, sophisticated and one of the smartest additions you can make to your autumn wardrobe, I’m already making a case for brown dresses. Read on to shop the styles I recommend for the season ahead.
