Five Ways To Refresh Your Autumn Look #FallInLove

SPONSORED POST

We get why Valentine's Day is on February 14th - spring is a time of renewal and with all the lambs prancing around and beautiful flowers blooming, it's a very pretty, dreamy time. However, we think that autumn is the most romantic of all the seasons. Whether or not you have a beau or belle, every autumn we embrace cosy / chic trends and this year in particular it's time to #FallInLove with autumn style.

The idyllic idea of autumn is bright skies, crisp, fresh air and beautiful leaves flitting through the air like golden snow. The reality, unfortunately, is a dark, heavy sky, damp atmosphere and soggy leaves clogging up drains; that's why it's so easy to revert to dark, gloomy clothes.

Your outfit can really affect your mood and wearing head to toe black is not going to lift it. Luckily for you, H&M are inspiring us to #FallInLove with key trends for the coming season - cool elegance with a '70s vibe. Here are five perfect ways to refresh your look this autumn.

  • Swap Black Trousers with Print

The easiest item to wear in autumn is a pair of black trousers. The thing is, black trousers scream safe and dare we say it, boring. By swapping your plain pants with these print trousers from H&M, you can keep the rest of your outfit the exact same as if you were wearing your black trousers - but this way you will be the coolest gal in the room.

  • Don't Abandon Light Tops - But Replace Them With Autumnal Colours

Autumn is a funny time for going out clothes. You want to wrap up but you know whatever bar or pub or club you end up in will end up feeling roasting. You definitely do need a couple of nice, light tops for this reason but for the season that's in it, you can refresh the look with a top like the one below in a soft, muted colour.

  • Flow With It

Sure, shirts are handy holding pieces in times of a sartorial slump but they can end up looking functional rather than stylish. Substitute your shirt with a floaty peasant blouse, for a relaxed, totally on trend look.

  • Autumn Up Your Mini

Your instinct may be to cover every bit of yourself up when the temperatures drop but you can still leave a little to the imagination. That's the beauty of mini dresses; even if you pair yours with black tights - or even better, over the knee boots - a mini dress is flirty and flattering. Refresh your mini for AW15 by adding sleeves and elongating the neck and you will definitely avoid goosebumps and blue skin and hey, you may even #FallInLove!

  • Belt it

Everyone needs a winter coat, and because it's such an essential item that you will end of wearing with a variety of different items, the best route to take is the road to classic town.

It never harms to inject a hint of the season's trends and this year the only way to tie your coat is to belt it. Even though the coat below hits the '70s casual belt trend right on the head, it is still classic enough to hold on to for seasons to come.
