@tamaramory"Logos are a big trend this season, but it's not for me. My favourite luxury brand right now is The Row—the ultimate example of discreet luxury. The autumn trend I will be wearing, however? Loafers! They are the perfect shoes for Parisian life, especially as they have a casual-chic allure. My favourites come from Saint Laurent or Churches."
The simple frontage means these loafers will never, ever date.
Kendall Jenner wears Vagabond shoes on the regular.

@vikilefevre"While I do wear pieces like knitted vests and pleated skirts, I won't be going big on the school-girl trend seen on the runways; it doesn't feel as grown-up. Instead, I'll wear pastel colours as they help to make my outfits feel more fun."
The cashmere fabrication ensures this will be the softest knit you own.

@frannfyneThe Autumn Trend Franny Won't Wear: Rubberised Boots
The Autumn Trend Franny Can't Wait to Wear: Fashiony Boots

@frannfyne"This season, I really want to invest in a pair of rain-ready boots with a fashionable edge that I can combine with my looks, just in case. Autumn will soon set in, which means rain will be on the forecast in Paris, so I feel like a pair of waterproof boots is going to be an essential ally for my outfits. I am, however, quite specific about the boots I'll be investing in. I like Mango's offering because the colours go well with everything, and the shape of them is quite understated. The pairs I'll be avoiding are the super chunky, almost clog-like, like the Bottega Veneta boots."
Lug-sole boots will always be handy in a downpour. Ganni's latest offering is as stylish as it is practical

The Autumn Trend Marissa Can't Wait to Wear: '90s Minimalism
Photo:
@ruerodier"Although my wardrobe has a lot of black pieces, the addition of studding and other 'gothic' items doesn't feel very me. However, I'm all about the minimal, '90s-inspired outfits that were showcased on the runway. I love nothing more than a pair of well-cut jeans and a tank top; it's so simple but chic. I've learned that good Parisian style—there's a lot less that can go wrong with a look when you keep it minimal."
Agolde jeans are an influencer favourite.

@lenafarlThe Autumn Trend Léna Won't Wear: Y2K Looks
The Autumn Trend Léna Can't Wait to Wear: Luxe Co-ords
Photo:
@lenafarl"The trend that I can't wait to wear is luxury knitwear co-ords. This autumn, I want to feel stylish and comfy in my clothes, and knitwear has become an important part of my wardrobe. (I even wore some this summer!) It's so versatile, and for the people who feel the chill like I do, it is really the perfect trend to wear when the weather gets colder. The trend that I'll be skipping this season is the Y2K trend. Even though I love the nostalgia of the '00s and colourful, bold silhouettes, I feel that it doesn’t fully match my personal style. Saying that, I am tempted to include some bustier and mesh tops in my autumn wardrobe."

The Autumn Trend Mélodie Can't Wait to Wear: Quilted Jackets

@melodiebance"As much as I want to introduce more colours into my closet, the Barbiecore trend is pushing it a little too far for me. It's one of those trends that you find fun on others, but I would personally never wear. As for the trend I will wear, last year, I commissioned a designer who works with antique quilts to make a quilted jacket, and I have really enjoyed wearing it. I love how fun and interesting quilted jackets are, and I am seriously considering ordering a new longer version for autumn. I have always found it difficult to wear colourful clothes in autumn/winter, but I think this would be a great way to elevate basic outfits."
This style also comes in navy and classic black.
This Frankie Shop jacket has been a best seller for two years straight.

The Autumn Trend Dominique Can't Wait to Wear: Oversized Blazers

@pomelokiwie"Ballet flats might be very 'French,' but given the weather we have in autumn, they're not the most sensible shoe to wear. I will, however, keep wearing oversized blazers. They're on-trend right now, but I've always worn them, so it's not something new I need to invest in."

The Autumn Trend Loïcka Can't Wait to Wear: Trench Coats

@thevisuelofgrace"This season, the trend I'll be avoiding is old-fashioned, chintzy florals. While I like them on other people, they just don't really feel like my aesthetic. Instead, this fall, trench coats are my priority. And I've found the perfect piece for the season in this Malene Birger trench. Also on my wish list is a new pair of loafers—they might have been in our wardrobes for several seasons already, but they are still essential. I always love styles from Prada, Vagabond and Miista. There really is nothing better than a simple and effortless autumn look."
