Not only is August my birthday month, but it’s also a special time of year, the junction that signifies the melting point of the seasons. The weather is so unsettled this year that autumn feels like it’s just on the horizon, and Christmas is a quiet hum in the background. So, there’s nothing for it but to look ahead and prepare my shopping guide for autumn.
Accessories are worth noting, and my, have we been spoilt with options! I’m big on earrings—in every sense of the word. I’ve introduced overstated styles into my arsenal and already know I’m likely to wear them for years to come with pared-back ensembles. Organic-shapes like shell adornments are highly sought-after, and belts that were once lacklustre are set to become a star feature in our outfits. Not to mention bags, which are becoming plush and luxurious, in rich, earthy hues.
Suffice to say, August is looking like a good month for fashion, so here’s hoping that same positivity transcends to the weather.
Ahead are the 35 pieces that I’m most excited about. And if you’re obsessed with dresses and jewels, this one is for you.
