After NYFW came to an end, we told you some of the overall trends to look out for in AW15 - from Ice Princess to Nomadic. In this post, we look at the key accessory trends to keep an eye on so that you can start prepping for the season early!
FUR
Fur makes a comeback every autumn/winter season, and this year is no exception. Some of the hottest designers, such as Roksanda Ilincic, coated lashings of fur in bright and dusky colours onto anything from scarves to bags. If you caught our NYFW post last week, you'll already know that there are both Russian and royal trend influences expected in the coming season, so fur accessories are a must for any avid fashion follower.
FUTURISTIC
This year will see the release of both Star Wars VII and Avatar 2 - and it's clear designers have been taking inspiration from the sci-fi genre. The futuristic trend was favoured by many brands at LFW, with modern shapes, clean colours and light reflecting materials being seen frequently. This trend works best in milkyway colours and brilliant whites, but add splashes of metallics for a space age aesthetic.
CHOKERS
The choker has been deemed the emerging item to watch for AW15. It has been growing in popularity since this time last year, and is showing no sign of stopping any time soon. For autumn/winter, try quirky shapes and unusual materials to make a serious statement and show that you're ahead of the fashion game.
RUFFLES
Victoriana and royalty are set to be huge trends later this year, with heavily adorned fabrics being accented with fur and ruffles. Ruffled necklines are a sure fire way to impress your fashion forward friends, but if that sounds a little to OTT for you, then simply adding ruffles through your accessories will add texture and movement to your look in no time.
Our coverage of the Milan Fashion Week will be up in the next few days, so be sure to check back for more trend information ahead of everyone else!
