From cosy quilted coats to dark floral dresses, the latest trends for autumn are giving us some much-needed style inspiration. Here are our favourite trending fashion finds for autumn. 

You know what a new season brings - a new wardrobe - or at least a couple of new bits to get through the seasonal change. While most of us would prefer to bathe in the summer sun, autumn isn’t all that bad. Fresh mornings and rust coloured leaves make strolls through the park picturesque and of course, the fashion changes too. Autumn heralds the new style season and this year’s catwalk fashion is very different to previous fall looks. For one thing, bright colours are staying with us and there are lots and lots of knitwear of all shapes and sizes. No one follows the runway style slavishly but it helps to know what’s on trend so you can update your look with a few key pieces. WW style guides will have you stepping out in style. Here are some new arrivals that have hit stores with the hottest runway trends in mind. 

Dresses 

This year's autumn/winter trends have given dresses a fashion-forward edge. Brightly coloured dresses to break through dreary days, metallic silks that give off a futuristic feel and a dark twist on the classic flower power print are refreshing styles that we can’t wait to try out for the new season.
