Where to get your hands on the must-have shade of the season for an on-trend look works in summer, autumn & winter
WHILE we are still holding on to summer, thanks to the current heatwave, September is just around the corner.
And the new season means wardrobe changeovers and new trends.
cos.com, stories.com, hm.comMaroon is the new hot hue for an expensive look[/caption]
And when it comes to colour, one in particular has dominated the A/W runways.
Maroon has been seen on big-name designer catwalks such as Tom Ford, Gucci, Valentino and Versace, to name a few.
Perfect to mix with your current wardrobe, don’t think that this deep shade is just for the colder months.
It’s also great to wear at this time of year and one you can continue wearing throughout the rest of 2024 and beyond.
Here, the Fabulous Fashion Team show you how they will be wearing the hot hue.

There’s something about maroon’s deep, rich colour that instantly makes you look well put-together and expensive.
I love this bag from Dune London – it looks so designer with its weaved leather that is a nod to Bottega Veneta and Dragon Diffusion.
And it looks great teamed with these slick slingbacks that are as shiny as a fresh manicure, even though they are different shades of maroon.
Paired with these linen trousers from Stradivarius, because it’s still summer (and with a free belt, thank you very much Stradivarius!) and classic Cos tee, it’s a minimal-effort-maximum-output look.
Plus, if it gets chilly, a tonal dark red knitted jacket-cum-cardigan will polish off the outfit nicely.

I adore how maroon can elevate an outfit, whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or going for a more casual look.
One of the simplest ways to introduce a colour you don’t typically wear is by starting with basics.
I’m really into the poplin skirts that have been trending all summer.
They’re the must-have piece of the moment, but they’re also timeless enough to stay stylish for years to come.
So I’ve paired a skirt with this maroon T-shirt, which I could also easily wear with jeans.
Throw a denim jacket over the top for chillier days, then add these maroon Mary Janes to really pull the whole outfit together.

Burgundy, maroon, claret, carmine – there are loads of words to describe this season’s IT colour – but there is one thing this expensive-looking hue will bring to the party, and that’s drama!
After summer’s love affair with a pop of bright red, get ready for autumn/winter’s 50 sexy shades of burgundy!
I love playing with texture when adding a new colour to my wardrobe.
Patent accessories give an edge to this cool wool tailoring look, as well as making it look way more expensive than it is.
I am particularly obsessed with this quilted clutch from Cos, which look really designer while not screaming “look at me”.

Who says a deep colour like maroon can’t be worn in summer?
This shade is great to buy now and take you all the way through the changing seasons.
A pair of wide-leg trousers are classic and will never date, and while I’ve paired them with a sheer light blouse, you could also mix it up with a T-shirt for a more relaxed look.
Maroon accessories also look super-expensive – can you believe this bag from Mango is just £19.99?
I love the combination of deep shades like this with leopard print, so I’ve added some ballet flats from New Look and finished off with some gold jewellery for a smart, sophisticated feel.
Hottest trends for Spring/Summer 2024
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor, Clemmie Fieldsend has shared the biggest trends on the high street and runway this Spring/Summer.
SHORTS
I know, shorts for summer. Groundbreaking. But you’ll be seeing them everywhere this year, from micro hotpants to long, Bermuda styles in denim to tailoring and everything in between they’re a must have for every occasion.
WHITE
White usually goes hand-in-hand with your summer holidays but whether you’re in the UK or abroad you’ll be seeing an abundance of head-to-toe white looks.
The high street is already a, erm, white wash with the trend that includes shoes and accessories.
HIGH SHINE
Beit metallics or sequins, for 2024 sparkle isn’t just for Christmas.Expect to see shimmering looks at festivals, weddings or even a barbeque in your neighbours back garden teamed with block brights or simple whites.
BAGGY BOTTOMS
Wide leg and loose jeans have gripped our wardrobes from autumn to winter, but as we move into warmer months expect baggy trousers.From crisp cotton to lightweight linen, fluid trews should have a firm place in your wardrobe.
PUMPS
Ballet pumps and Mary Jane’s have been clawing their way back into our good books for a while now, but for summer they’re looking less ballerina and more beach ready.
Woven styles and mesh textures are hot off the catwalk and onto the high street, think the 2024 jelly shoe.
GO GIRLY
All things romantic and girly are in for spring with sheer fabrics, pastel shades of blue, yellow and pink gripping the runway. Embellished with bows, lace or flowers, most looks should have an element of being hyper ‘girly’.
WHILE we are still holding on to summer, thanks to the current heatwave, September is just around the corner.
And the new season means wardrobe changeovers and new trends.
