Fashion doesn't come full circle, it goes around in spirals. This summer we were channeling Betty Draper for the millionth time in our '50s style sun dresses, but now we are going forward two decades into the era that gave us looks to suit all tastes. We're falling in love all over again with autumn style, especially as this year's trends are so accessible, affordable and flattering.
While we quietly hum the theme tune to Love Story, we day-dream about flared jeans, slim shirts and shift dresses. And printed pants, pea coats with belts and peasant blouses. And a smart knit sweater while we're at it. See, we told you there's something from this season's 70's inspired trends to suit you all! We're calling it, it's definitely time to #FallInLove.
The best thing about this season's version of the 70's is that you have all the pieces at your disposal to personalise and bring it into the current century - the key words are elegant, cool and easy. Fully falling for the season means updating your wardrobe to suit the key AW15 trends, and it's simple - when you know what to buy and where to buy them.
The one place to #FallInLove is H&M, where every piece you need to update your wardrobe for autumn can be found. So, what should the season's chicest woman have in her AW15 wardrobe? Let's start from the outside in. Coats!
This belted coat from H&M is classic chic in a nutshell and it's perfect for staying warm but looking cool (see what we did there?) It's the kind of piece that holds everything together.
You can wear absolutely anything underneath, but we love the thought of it over the dress below, some boots and a wool fedora.
Dress, €19.99, H&MIf you're unsure of prints and patterns this is the season to start experimenting - and the long sleeved, high necked dress seen above will be the most versatile piece in your AW15 wardrobe. Wear it to work, wear it to winter drinks, wear it on a walk in the woods - just don't wear it with those utterly amazing knee high boots for any leaf-kicking outings. Do not scuff those babies, y'hear? A chelsea boot will work just as well.
The pants below are not just for the more daring fashionistas out there - they're the standout piece in anyone's ensemble. While it would be easy to throw on a black polo neck and be done with it (and don't get us wrong - the beatnik thing never goes out of style) splash a bit of colour over the trousers, like with the green loose peasant top below.

Trousers, €19.99, H&MFor when party season arrives, this little top will also look terrific with the trousers - it's the type of top that will take you straight from desk to dance floor.
Top, €9.99, H&MNo matter what year it is, there is always room for a LBS (little black sweater) in your wardrobe. A ribbed, tight little number like this one won't look out of place at work or play - or when draped over a handsome man at a hip café, because we all do that, right?
Jumper, €19.99, H&MYou will need a piece that will get you through the tricky transitional period and this blouse is just the thing for the job. In fact, this piece will take you through autumn, into winter and then back into spring!
Blouse, €14.99, H&MAW15 is the season of the angel. Not the one who plays a harp serenely and wears a Christening gown, the Farrah Fawcett one (that's a Charlie's Angel in case you never saw the re-runs on Network 2).
Update your autumn wardrobe with these on-trend, purse-friendly pieces from H&M and you'll be in snug, stylish heaven. There's nothing for it but to #FallInLove.
