Is it me, or do brands seriously step up their game when autumn arrives? To say this is the best time of year for fashion is hardly an original thought, but even as a picky shopper, I'm doubly tempted by what the high street has to offer from September onwards. With the arrival of orange leaves and spiced beverages come bundles of cosy knitwear, stand-out layering pieces and boots in all shapes and sizes.
One of the best high-street trench coats around.
For autumn/winter 2022, the temptation is even more powerful thanks to a better-than-ever assembly of trends. Whether the newfound obsession over pink or the revival of bomber jackets has inspired you, you're probably on the prowl for affordable yet on-trend pieces.
Mango is a reliable source of such items whatever the weather, but I believe this trusty brand really shines in the cosy season. And this year is the perfect demonstration. We've identified a handful of trends that Mango is embracing big time. From saturated styling to glitzy partywear, current and classic, our edit no doubt includes a few looks you've already had your eye on. Scroll on and join me in struggling to resist the beautiful palette and expensive-looking silhouettes.
1. Leather
Biker jackets like this one will never look outdated.
Chunky boots aren't going anywhere, so if you haven't yet invested, this pair is a winner.
Trench coats and leather are both big trends, so naturally, one of our favourite brands would combine them.
Going out-out? This is the perfect top.
Pair the above top with this pleated mini for an all-leather look.
2. Rainbow Hues
If you're in need of a new suit, choose this rich green shade.
To wear under the above suit, perhaps? Dopamine dressing is a huge trend, after all.
Take your cues from Valentino, and embrace hot pink.
Green is one of autumn's trending handbag colours.
This feels like something a 1990s Barbie would wear.
3. All That Glitters
Sparkles will be everywhere this season, which means it's prime time to bust out your costume jewellery.
I warned you about the sparkles. It's never too soon to start thinking about party season.
Go-to dancing shoes.
Mini hemlines are having a moment—this skirt feels so current.
This supersized metallic bag is several trends in one.
4. '90s Minimalism
Nineties minimalism through and through.
A forever classic that's endlessly versatile.
The subtle cut-out detail totally elevates this jumpsuit.
Mango does layerable basics so well.
I adore the shrunken fit of this waistcoat.
5. Timeless Prints
Those sleeves alone are bound to turn heads.
There's a reason striped knits are selling out everywhere.
Take it from day to night with a quick change of accessories.
Houndstooth coats never go out of style.
Lean into the bohemian trend, and opt for this blouse with embroidery.
6. Cowboy Boots
The contrast panels on this pair really make a statement.
I would think these were designer if I hadn't picked them out myself.
Cowboy boots meet knee-highs.
I bet these are so much fun to walk in.
7. Neutral Knitwear
A fresh take on a timeless staple.
Achieve the effect of Totême's sell-out scarf jacket without the price tag.
A knitted midi dress is the easiest way to keep warm this autumn/winter—and the chicest.
This would look great styled with almost any jeans.
Once the cold hits, this thick throw-on layer will definitely take the edge off.
