by Fashion Weeks
he autumn/winter fashion shows that took place in June–September paraded
exquisite looks that blend style with comfort in an extravaganza of statement
pieces. In the aftermath of the pandemic, this year’s fashion shows were
digital and demonstrated creative presentation approaches, such as short films
and augmented reality concepts.
Not
only that, but they also featured collections that focused more on adaptability
than anything else as an echo of the new normal.
So
dig out your grandparents’ old photos because this autumn and winter, we’re
seeing a fashion comeback of some the most iconic garments in the likes of
acid-wash jeans, pleated skirts, and grandad vests with a modern twist. We
rounded up the biggest fashion trends as seen in the fashion weeks to help you
get your autumn/winter wardrobe up to date.
Avant-garde knitwear
Summer
2021 was brightened up by knitwear in groovy colours and versatile shapes, from
skirts and dress sets to vests and totes. The autumn/winter season will
continue celebrating knitted garments in comfy yet flattering silhouettes.

Johnson and Bevza’s ankle-long sweater dresses make sweater weather fun and
sexy, and Fendi’s maxi knitted skirt and crop top in dark grey opens us up to
the magic of accessorising. Pair your oversized knitted dress with chunky
women’s boots and a faux fur bag for a more relaxed look, or add a touch of
luxe to your tie-dye cable knits sweater with off-white flared trousers and
nylon knee-high women’s boots.
Vests are back
Perhaps
it’s time to dig into your grandad’s wardrobe because knitted vests are making
a fashion comeback! But this time around, designers are having a spin on the
preppy vintage look to offer a ready-to-wear, versatile look that is a definite
Instagram hit. Some of the designers who pioneered in presenting avant-garde
knitwear in New York Fashion Week (NYFW) such as Bevza and PH5, are also
rocking the sweater vest. From eye-catching patterns to unique shapes, the
fashion gurus are cueing us in on the best styling trends. ‘70s flares, ’90s
band T-shirts, and chunky boots are the perfect match for your staple vest.
Layering is also on-trend with this statement piece, from a classic white shirt
underneath to a ski chic puffer jacket on top.
