Join us as we catch up with our latest style insider Yatri Pabari (@y.a.t.r.i) on our exclusive shoot, and find out more about the fashion blogger’s wardrobe must-haves for AW18.

How would you describe your usual style?

I’d say chic but minimal with a bold presence. I love neutral tones and classic prints.  Sunglasses are my favourite accessory and it doesn’t have to be sunny for me to wear them. I have them on all year round!

What are your favourite pieces from the shoot and why?

I absolutely LOVE the printed scarves! They’re so versatile – you can use them to jazz up your hair, tie them on your bag to give your look a little more character or wear them as neck scarves. One accessory with multiple uses – you can’t go wrong! The tortoiseshell sunglasses were another one of my favourites as they add that little chic look to any outfit.

Which new trends are you most excited about for AW18? 

Alongside animal prints, I’m really excited for all the statement earrings that are cropping up. The whole big resin earring trend is definitely one I’ll be delving into when it comes to accessorising my looks for AW18.

Going back to school, college or uni, or need a new bag for your daily commute? Backpacks are the wardrobe saviour that you’re looking for. Far removed from the kids-only creations that we remember from our playground days, this season’s new-in styles are making the grade with their preppy checks, floral prints and clean, contemporary shapes. So take note – here are five back-to-school backpacks that you need for new-term cool.

1. Bloom Town

Summer blooms, be gone. As we head into cooler temperatures, florals take on a darker mood that feels somewhat more suited to the sultrier aesthetic of AW18.  Designed with bold blooms set against an inky backdrop, this domed design stays true to the new season’s state of mind without falling short of functionality. We have serious love for its sturdy structure, roomy interior and multitude of pockets for all your weekday essentials.

2. Prep Time

The preppy check is back but not as you know it. Printed with plaid prints in navy, green and mustard, this spacious style is here to give the classic trend a fresh new feel – and it’s all thanks to a few clever twists. While tan side pockets piped edges play up to its old-school styling, small-scale florals and a squared Scandi silhouette keep it more relevant to now.

3. Modern Minimal

Minimalists, listen close – there’s still space for pared-back pieces in next season’s mostly maximalist line-up. Inspired by sports-luxe silhouettes, this leather-look backpack is simple yet effective: it comes with a generous inner compartment and extra pockets, all concealed within a clean, fuss-free design. Wear yours from the campus to catch-ups over coffee.

4. Print Clash

Why wear one print when you could wear two? This stand-out style clashes it up with bold prep-school checks and graphic florals, creating a classroom must-have that won’t fade into the background. Extra marks for its spacious zipped compartment and padded shoulder straps that can be adjusted to find the perfect fit.

5. London Calling

Novelty prints have gone all grown up. Taking you from work to play, this London-themed backpack is patterned with buses, black cabs and other iconic illustrations that have been inspired by the capital – and the result is something that won’t look out of place on Instagram. We love its leather-look texture and multiple pockets

3 Leather Bags To Wear Forever

New Ways to Wear the Printed Scarf

 Shop Back to School >

From the runways to our Instagram feeds, rainbow brights have taken over – and the colour spectrum is showing no signs of fading away as we move into AW18. But luckily, there are ways to wear the rainbow trend without having to curate a wardrobe that’s full of bold brights – and it’s all down to the accessories. Here, we take a brief look at the roots of fashion’s new obsession and explore the stand-out styles that are vying for a place in your new season wardrobe, as seen on fashion blogger Naomi Ross.

As Seen On

The iconic symbol of LBGTQ+ movement, the rainbow flag found its way onto the runways for SS18 and AW18, championing diversity, hope and, above all, pride. For his final Burberry show (left), Christopher Bailey showcased rainbow stripes on knits, jackets and floor-length capes in faux fur, while the technicolour dreams of Ashish (right), Missoni and Dolce & Gabbana manifested themselves in statement-making styles that were made to be seen.

1. The Tote Bag

Low on effort and big on impact, a bold bag is the easiest route into the rainbow trend. Make it feel all the more relevant with diagonal lines instead of uniform stripes, and go big with a large, structured shapes that won’t fade into the background. Wear it with a pared-back look, or create a clash with polka dot prints for modern maximalism.

2. The Printed Scarf

Neckerchiefs and scarves have made a comeback as move from this season to next, with rainbow stripes making up one of the key prints found on the revamped fashion classic. But as well as lending any look an intense hit of colour, perhaps the best thing about this it-accessory is the multitude of ways that you can wear it – try it in your hair, tied onto the handles of your bag or even as a belt.

3. The Statement Earrings

Rainbow brights were made to stand out – so what better way to wear them than with some statement earrings? From thread-wrapped hoops to sequin drops, these stand-out pieces are here to boost the darker mood of the new season, as well as taking your look from day to night with minimal fuss.

Once synonymous with our school days, satchels are the comeback kids of the new season – and we can’t get enough of their modernized makeover. Oversized, bulky shapes and classic style elements are now a thing of the past, thanks to the latest line-up of down-sized designs with their bold colour palettes and updated details. So make some space in your wardrobe – here’s the new-season satchel you need now, as seen on fashion blogger Naomi Ross.

Crush on Cobalt

Cobalt blue is the colour to watch as we move into AW18.  Born out of the eighties and, more recently, this season’s rainbow trend, this electric hue is transforming the humble satchel into a statement-maker that you’ll be wearing from day to night – and Naomi agrees.

“Satchels are my go-to style of bag,” she says. “During the day, I’d wear this across body in more of a casual way, say with a cute dress or a skirt-and-top combo. Then for the evening, I’d style it off one-shoulder, or even tuck the straps and hold it like a clutch for a more glam look.”

Leave it on Red

Red holds perennial power in every woman’s wardrobe – and satchels are the latest styles to feel the shade’s almighty impact. Elevating its status from schoolgirl essential to fashion favourite, red brings all the boldness to this retro classic, while its neat envelope design makes it feel all the more fresh.

Make a New Statement

Although we champion the modern revival of the satchel, its preppy roots are not to be forgotten. Traditional plaid prints nod to the bag’s old-school past, while the unexpected addition of small-scale florals brings it straight up to date. And for something that holds onto that summer state of mind, a bright burst of yellow is all you need to make a statement from this season to next.

This season we’re getting creative with scarves, because who doesn’t like to switch it up now and then? Yes, your silky number looks great around your neck, but take it to your tresses or trusty tote bag and you’ve got a look that belongs on your Instagram feed. Press play on the new ways to wear your printed scarf and prepare to be inspired.

1. Hear Me Roar

If the season’s all-out leopard looks are a bit too Scary Spice for your taste, tame the wildness with a printed scarf. A neutral-toned handbag is the perfect canvas for a dash of animal spots – knot your scarf around the hardware to make it feel brand new. Or to get the look that we’re seeing everywhere right now, sweep your hair into a low ponytail and trade out your scrunchie for a tumbling scarf. Hoops are a must to finish.

2. Flower Power 2.0

There’s not much from ‘70s fashion that we haven’t got our hands on in the past few seasons: it’s having more than just a moment. The skinny scarf is no exception, though what makes it more haute than hippy is how you wear it. Reinvent your staple shorts by threading it through the belt loops, or tie it round your head and secure at the nape of the neck for a pretty hairband effect. The resin jewellery trend is perfect for picking out the scarf’s colours.

3. Rockabilly Baby

Be a retro darling with a polka-dot neckerchief. Black and white is your easiest colourway when it comes to styling – and keeps the look feeling ultra-modern. Tie it around your neck for a flirty fifties feel, or roll it into a narrow strip and tie into a headband. We love this look with a messy bun.

4. Swathes of Silk

Take the look to the next level with a scarf made of pure silk. Something with this much luxe appeal is perfect for showing off on your favourite cross-body, tied in a bow for a bunched effect. Our floral print looks so good with the season’s burgundy bags, for the record. Doubling as the ultimate fix for a bad hair day, this liquid-soft style also ties effortlessly around a high ponytail to achieve the need-now hair scarf trend.

3 Resin Earrings We Can’t Stop Thinking About

Introducing the New Pre-Fall Collection

Shop Lightweight Scarves >

Statement earrings of seasons past have looked a little something like this: high-shine jewels, XXL hoops and, of course, the tassels. But now, an unlikely contender has turned our heads: resin earrings. Far removed from the seventies’ styles lurking in your mum’s jewellery box, the latest line-up of acrylic accessories are anything but tacky, thanks to their fluid, sculptural designs and cool colour palettes. Need to know more? As seen on stylist and writer Danielle Ward, here are three resin earrings that we can’t stop thinking about….

1. Statement Speckles

Sparkles aren’t the only way to make a statement. Moving away from classic tortoiseshell textures, speckled acrylics in light-catching colours are here to elevate your look from this season to next – and the proof is in these long-drop designs. Wear them with everything from dressed-down denim to after-dark get-ups.

2. Shape Shifters

Geometric shapes are usually associated with minimal Scandi silhouettes but this season’s iterations have taken on a more maximalist aesthetic. Supersized structures in contrasting resin textures create a fresh, contemporary look for these statement-making earrings, accented further by their super-luxe hues of gold, coral and burgundy. We’re obsessed.

3. New Hoops

Hoop earrings have moved on from the nineties’ numbers that we know and love, with sleek resin styles making up this season’s of-the-moment buys. Chunky proportions and two-tone palettes of cream and coffee make this pair feel effortlessly modern – we’ll be showing ours off with slicked-back hair.

Meet our next style insider: Danielle Ward (@littlefashbird). Find out what happened when we asked the stylist, writer and social influencer to hand-pick her favourite pieces from the brand new collection at Accessorize…

How would you describe your usual style?

Simple, considered, current, comfortable and 99% of the time a combo of nude, black, white, denim and gold. I’m a huge believer in buying what you love, regardless of trends. Work out the outfits that you feel most ‘you’ in and why, and stick with those rules. Then you can add a ‘lil fresh seasonal accessory to a silhouette you already feel fab in.

What are your favourite pieces from the shoot and why?

I’m obsessed with any accessory that adds a subtle statement without being too much so these resins earrings are a must-have for me. Add to a casual-denim-and-floaty-neutral #OOTD for a low-key pop of colour and texture.

Who is your celebrity style muse and why?

I’ve got so many but I’ll go with Anine Bing, the Danish model and designer from LA. She designs her collections around a soft but tough LA/Scandinavian heritage hybrid that she loves, and wears religiously. Simple, edgy, trend-less staples that she lives in and wears like a queen. I love women who know their style and own it. Anine’s a mum, an entrepreneur, a model and a wife, and she makes her style work across all roles. To me, that’s the ultimate in style inspo.

3 Leather Bags to Wear Forever

Leather bags = the style investment that every girl needs in her life. And the good news for the season ahead? With their clean, modern shapes and cool colour palettes, these latest lust-haves will fit into your style rotation now and for many years to come, making them the ultimate wardrobe mainstays. Prepare to meet the three leather bags that you’ll be wearing from now till forever…

1. Clutch Up

Whether on a night out or brunching at the weekend, a leather clutch bag is the easiest way to elevate any outfit. For an all-round wardrobe winner, look to zip-up styles that feel simple, fuss-free and will go with pretty much everything you own. Classic colours might feel tempting but break tradition with something a little more now, from warm mustard tones and rust oranges to vivid berry pinks.  We love.

2. All Black

A black leather bag is a fashion favourite no matter the season. From supersized totes to cross-body bags that you’ll be wearing around the clock, the latest iterations of the style classics are looking fresher than ever – think tactile textures in luxe leopard print, bead embellishments and stud detailing.

3. Back to Backpacks

Having shaken off their preppy persona, backpacks have firmly cemented themselves as an it-accessory – and nothing proves it more than an all-leather design. Minimal styling reigns supreme for this season’s key buys, with everything from classic black and burgundy to petal-soft pink thrown into the fashion mix.
