Style notes: Office ladies, gather around. We may not be powerhouse CEOs, but there’s no reason we can’t dress like we own the boardroom. Gray suits, pinstripes, long skirts, and bare shoulders—this season, tailoring is taking a step back and focusing on distinctly classic styles when it comes to dressing for the job you want. Don’t break out your heels just yet, though—in Copenhagen style, this look is much more progressive than casual sandals.

Notes on styleLong live “red surprise” theoryIt’s a chance for us to experiment with colour and add some warmth to our wardrobes without having to tackle such a bold shade head to toe. From beauty to interiors, pops of bright red have been a big hit this year, but we’re specifically taking a classic like a white tee or a black dress and giving it a spicier twist with this hot hue.

Style Notes: We’ve been counting down to fall for one thing, the return of leather weather, and 2024 is the year you’re going all out. Sure, leather pants are great, but what about leather shirts? Leather minis are always cute, but leather maxis? They’re incredible. The key item spotted outside right now? Leather macs and knee-length trenches. You can’t say you weren’t prepared for rain or storms.

Style notes: Until it’s officially winter, make the most of the exceptionally mild weather we’re having. It won’t be long before tights become a necessity rather than an option, so make the most of those legs you spent all summer soaking up by wearing your springtime miniskirts and dresses again, but with a cozy sweater. Did we mention how flattering miniskirts are?

Notes on style: If the rumors were true, skinny jeans were coming back in the spring, but instead we stuck firmly to straight-leg pants. Now that the weather is changing and jeans are back on the agenda, it seems skinny jeans are once again being rejected in favor of baggy flares (which thankfully don’t have to be worn too low in the waistband, but do have to be worn with a lot of attitude. And probably even more denim on top).

6. Like fine wine

Style notes: Black cherry, red currant, dark chestnut, deep burgundy; whatever the shade, the implication is clear—the person wearing such a deep and passionate shade must be rich Rich. Burgundy for fall may not be new, but it’s always a welcome, expensive alternative to spring’s camel, summer’s crisp white, and winter’s jet black. Not only does the deep berry hue look great in everything from knitwear to tailoring, it also works to make pretty accessories look Great, A sure sign that it’s worth the investment in 2024, but can be worn forever.
