This autumn, we’re swapping screens for book covers and social media stories for tales that inspire us to dream. We’re letting ourselves be swept away by their characters and the genres that inspire them — from drama to crime and romance — to discover a new way to dress for the season. Stradivarius presents its latest autumn collection: garments and accessories that, look by look, each tell their own story.
The collection features a winter palette of neutrals that are easy to mix and match: off-white, mottled grey, taupe, black and chocolate brown. Butter yellow brightens up the range, whilst camel-coloured details add warmth. Checks in shades of grey and brown add depth and enrich the overall look without disrupting the harmony.
As the cold weather sets in, the collection combines loose-fitting jumpers – with roll-neck, high-neck or zip fastenings – and T-shirts peeking out from beneath layers. These are complemented by wide-leg and long trousers, in checked patterns or dark shades. Voluminous outerwear – shearling-effect jackets and fur pieces – add texture and presence, whilst the interplay of lengths balances the silhouette: a loose-fitting jumper over a long knitted dress creates a flowing line, and shorter tops flatter high-waisted trousers.
Speaking of accessories, the standout pieces are the oversized jewelled hairpins, which turn a simple hair accessory into the perfect finishing touch. Sunglasses and prescription glasses with narrow frames and a retro feel add a touch of sophistication. We also find fur hats and a soft, light-coloured handbag with metallic details.
When it comes to footwear, the selection combines ballet flats — some with bows — and dark flat shoes. The handbags expand the colour palette with an ivory piece with a short handle, a fur model with an animal print and a shoulder bag with a shiny finish.
