When the weather regains its moody autumn status, it’s hard to resist giving in to its grungy calling. As the new season evolves, it doesn’t take long until the drizzly, foggy ambiance rubs off on us, stirring once forgotten feelings of dark colour palettes and sumptuous fabrics. When you’re starting to feel the weight of the winter months there are really only a few things that can restore morale; a long hot bath, a cosy evening in and bundles of soft layers.
When the weather is working against me, I like to lean into the change and style grungier pieces, like worn leather, hardy denim and slinky silk to feel in harmony with my climes.
I’m clearly not the only one giving in to the change, as this month I’ve spotted a number of celebrities swap their boxy blazers for baggy leather, styling oversized leather jackets and sweeping leather trench coats en masse. Aligning with the autumn theme, black leather jackets have been swapped for warm brown shades to soften looks, giving a nod to a classic palette for the time of year.
On Sofia Richie Grainge: Loro Piana Roldan Bomber Jacket (£6,205), Loro Piana Extra Pocket L19 Pouch (£1,910). An instigator of the trend, Sofia Richie Grainge styled a warm brown leather jacket with a white silky dress to a Loro Piana event in California this week. Co-ordinating her accessories to her jacket, Richie Grainge opted for brown leather slingbacks and a peachy Loro Piana leather bag to complete her look. Wearing well with light colours including beige and white, a brown leather jacket can also work perfectly with complimentary warm tones such as orange, red brown for a unified feel. Styling a quintessentially autumnal outfit, Emily Ratajkowski wore an auburn-toned leather trench coat out in New York this week. Wearing her knee-length coat with brown suede heeled boots Ratajkowski tapped into the growing leather trench coat trend which has been spotted on Alexa Chung, and Kate Moss in recent weeks.
