With every international Fashion Week comes a glittering lucky dip of trends to choose from. From the second they’re marched down the runway, these trends trickle down from designer stores to Dotti to you.
This year, as New York Fashion Week lays out your future autumn/winter wardrobe, it’s clear there’s an alpha trend set to dominate: workwear. Yes, consider Rihanna’s ‘Work’ (work, work, work, work, work) your new fashion theme tune.
More specifically, there’s one very nine-to-five jacket that’s been elevated to Hero Item status. We’re seeing a resurgence of the power blazer. Double-breasted varieties. Oversized options. Colourful numbers.
Mark my words, you won’t be able to walk five metres from your place without running into a blazer-clad woman when the cold weather kicks in.
We saw them at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show.
