Embrace Autumn: Fashion Trends and Essential Tips for Your Wardrobe

As autumn gracefully unfolds, the crisp air and vibrant leaves in shades of golden and red usher in a change not just in nature, but also in our wardrobes. This season at MQ, fashion is all about the details. It’s the small yet significant elements like belts, buttons, and brooches that transform a simple outfit into something uniquely yours. Accessories, including jewelry and bags, are also in sync with the season’s trendy materials and color palettes.

This autumn, the color red takes center stage. On the women’s side, the brand Stockholm brings a sophisticated collection that melds classic elegance with modern flair, featuring a captivating palette of red, navy, and camel. Stand out with trendy pieces like a chic red suit, a cozy red wool coat, or a knitted and pleated set that adds warmth and style to your autumn outings.

On the other hand, men’s fashion is veering towards refined yet semi-casual looks. According to Marcus Wennergrund, assortment manager at MQ, there's a strong emphasis on comfort without sacrificing style—perfect for transitioning from morning meetings to after-work gatherings. The autumn menswear collection introduces versatile garments that can be easily layered to adapt to the cool mornings and warmer afternoons of early autumn. Signature pieces for the season include various light coat options, overshirts, knits with collars, and dressy yet relaxed pants.

Color-wise, the palette remains classic; consisting of fundamental shades such as gray, dark blue, beige, along with additions of dark green and brown. Business attire may continue to feature suits prominently this autumn, but for those preferring a more casual office look, smart alternatives are available. A combination of an overshirt with matching pants provides a polished appearance while retaining comfort. The resurgence of the standalone blazer offers a stylish choice, while finely knitted sweaters paired with chinos are also crowd favorites.

Notable items from the assortment manager worth considering this season are: - Gray striped overshirt in brushed twill (Nico pinstripe overshirt) - Dark green car coat in recycled polyester (Miles all-weather coat) - Ribbed cotton sweater with a polo collar (Jeremy polo shirt)

In preparing for the autumn season ahead, here are three essential tips to cultivate a fashionable wardrobe: 1. Conduct an Annual Wardrobe Check: Take time to thoroughly examine your wardrobe at least once a year. Identify garments that are frequently worn, identify those needing replacement, and take note of what might complement your current collection. This process helps ensure your wardrobe remains current and functional. 2. Invest in Quality: Prioritizing quality over quantity is vital. Select garments crafted from sustainable materials and excellent craftsmanship to ensure longevity. While quality items may have a higher initial price, they offer significant savings over time due to their durability. 3. Repair and Update: Don't let small tears or damages sideline your favorite items. Learning basic sewing skills, like reattaching a button or mending a seam, can extend the life of a garment. If your pieces need adjusting, MQ offers a tailoring service in all its stores, making alterations easy.
