While we’re busy taking notes of the latest fashion and beauty trends heading down the runway, we’ve also got an eagle eye paying attention to what everyone is wearing on the streets.
Fashion week attendees are known for showcasing their favourite pieces and signature styles, and it’s a great way of spying which items we need in our own wardrobes.
This week has already shown us a number of key pieces that are going to be popular as we head into winter. Between the rich brown shades and tailored suits, expect to see a lot of denim, fuzzy fabrics and chunky footwear.
Whether you’re in the market for a new pair of boots or looking for new ways to wear blazers, here’s a roundup of our favourite street-style looks and the key pieces to buy.
Head-to-toe brown
