FROM actress Daisy Edgar-Jones to singer Rihanna, Seventies-inspired looks have been top of the fashion lust list this year – and Boho is here to stay for the new season.

Summer’s floaty chiffon frocks continue as a key trend.

Update them for autumn with a pair of burgundy or conker-coloured boots.

Dress, £44.99, H&M

OVERSIZED BLAZERS

THEY are the easiest way to smarten up a pair of jeans, and blazers – particularly oversized styles – aren’t going anywhere soon, so play with those proportions.

Broad shoulders and slouchy sleeves continue to be key.

Try belting at the waist for a more exaggerated look.

LEOPARD-PRINT

WHILE leopard never really left us, this autumn it’s back with a bang.

And it is on everything, from trench coats and dresses to accessories.

Be ready to take a walk on the wild side.

BIKER JACKETS

WHILE this is a style classic, it’s time to swap to something cosier as the temperatures drop.

Definitely stash the fitted biker jackets for another year but if you really must wear a moto now, then go oversized.

Wearing over dresses gives a cool 90s vibe.

FLORAL DRESSES

IF you haven’t already, it’s time to put away ditsy floral frocks.

Instead, opt for floaty chiffons, bold animal prints and fitted feminine styles.

Dress, £12, George at Asda

CLOMPY SHOES

THE cool kids might have spent their Brat summer in clompy loafers and white socks but now it’s time to make the switch to something a little more grown-up and ladylike.

Swap chunky shoes for thin-soled versions.

FAUX FUR JACKET

THE snuggle is real for autumn – so it’s time to dig out your favourite cuddly coat for the cold weather ahead.

Faux fur, teddy coats, fuzzy feathers and shaggy jackets are all firmly back on the agenda.

If you want a sleeker look, opt for a coat or jacket with a furry collar or cuffs for a nod to this re-emerging trend.

Faux shearling aviator, £69, M&S

BARREL LEG JEANS

WE might have all scoffed when these first appeared last winter, but there’s no denying this flattering denim style.

With a wide-leg cut that tapers at the ankle, they’re here to stay for the foreseeable future.

As with any wide-leg style, balance the voluminous proportions with a fitted top.

BIG BAGS

WHETHER you’re carrying a laptop, your gym gear or the kitchen sink, an oversized tote bag is perfect for those days when you have a lot of stuff to lug around.

Keep it chic with a pared-back, simple style.

Tote bag, £35, M&S

RURAL CHIC

GET inspired by the great outdoors – and Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors looks.

Add tweeds, plaids and argyles to your wardrobe for a touch of countryside cool this autumn.

Keep it light by adding silky separates, pretty bows and sheer tights for a girlish take on what Pinterest is calling Eclectic Grandpa.

ADD BURGUNDY

LOOKING for a shortcut to update your wardrobe for autumn?

Adding burgundy is an instant way to bring your look into the new season.

Go for a statement coat or a dash of colour in the form of a bag or shoes.

Shoes, £28, Next

LEATHER

SuppliedThis leather skirt is £22 at Primark[/caption]

GO hell for leather these coming months.

Whether you opt for a pair of trousers, pencil skirt or statement dress, don’t just stick to black.

You’ll get extra style points for injecting a touch of colour or metallics for a truly head-turning outfit.

Skirt, £22, Primark

INDIGO DENIM

SuppliedSwitch to a darker denim[/caption]

WHITE, cream and light-wash jeans were a summer staple, but it’s time to switch to darker denim.

Washes such as indigo and black will look smarter than mid-wash blues.

Jeans, £19.99, H&M

TAILORED SUITING

CLASSIC suiting got an update this year with the addition of waistcoats to our favourite slick tailored looks.

This timeless style is big news for autumn too, and isn’t going anywhere.

So if you haven’t invested yet, now could be the time.

Opt for classic cuts in neutral and earthy tones for a grown-up, luxe look.
