fashion UNISTYLE Alex from What the Teacher Wears shares her top 5 trends for Autumn MILITARY The military trend is polished, sculpted and sophisticated. From streamlined sheepskin coats to quilted parkas, luxurious outerwear is the focus. Mix with chic leather separates and tonal knits in burgundy and navy. BOHO The 70s has once again found it’s way into our wardrobe and this time it’s with the long, flowy dresses.The amazing thing about this style is that it super comfortable and very flattering. The dresses also come in a wide variety of different prints from vivid coloured prints to romantic crochet and lace options. KNITWEAR Knit has come a long way since the daggy, no shape jumpers of old. This season you will see lots of tied waists, flared hems and off-the-shoulder knits. Knitwear is perfect for layering. ROMANTIC Romance is back in fashion and nothing says romantic like a frill.Or actually, loads of them. So invest in something with a bit of undulating prettiness to it but at the same time don't go OTT. DENIM TREND If you add just one piece of denim to your wardrobe make it a pair of cropped flare jeans. And as with any new denim trend, it's important to style your outfit to flatter your body shape. Wear this style with a blazer or button-down shirt. This autumn sees a return of some trends from years gone by with everyday wardrobe staples. My key tip for trend dressing is to only invest in it if you love it. Otherwise, spend big on your wardrobe staples and save on trend pieces. CHECK OUT MORE FROM ALEX
