Looking to revamp your wardrobe? Take some style inspiration from the runway.

Out with the old and in with the new! As we head deep into the coldest season, it's time for a wardrobe overhaul to welcome warmth and cosiness. Below, find a detailed guide to the runway's most stylish and comfortable fall/winter 2023 trends.

Giorgio Armani leads the way with silky dresses that recall pyjamas, enveloping shawls, and long dresses—reimagined loungewear suitable for the outdoors. Vibrant pastels and neons are muted in favour of subtle floral prints, specifically the camellia flower on Chanel's creations.

Meanwhile, Fendi and Bottega Veneta find exciting ways to reinvent the classic trench coat, the former using a sequinned lining for a shimmering effect.

Black coats are a winter wardrobe staple. Loewe gives an interesting take on the silhouette by channelling the wardrobe of beloved childhood toys, Polly Pocket—tapping Chinese actress Tang Wei to front its fall/winter 2023 campaign. Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière continues his exploration of military-inspired elements with stiffer shoulder panels, while Versace accentuates the hourglass in its version.

What TikTok is rebranding as the ‘cherry aesthetic’ is actually a resurgence of the colour red. Take a leaf from these luxury brands’ books and incorporate them in impactful bursts rather than an all-red look.

Long scarves are an eye-catching addition to one’s outfit, especially if the accessory becomes part of the garment, as seen in Giorgio Armani’s stunning look with an opulent scarf with metallic tassels.
