• Who What Wear’s latest edits narrow outerwear to three key investments for fall: stand-collar or funnel-neck jackets, checked car-coats and trenches, and oversized leather bombers.
• Transitional roundups emphasize plaid, suede accessories, knitwear, boots and versatile dresses, with sporty layers such as anorak jackets and cropped leggings gaining traction from Lululemon.
• Chocolate brown is being promoted as the season’s luxe neutral, with LTK searches for chocolate-toned pieces reported up 267%.
• Affordable rollouts span Zara, Madewell, H&M, SSENSE, Revolve, Net-a-Porter and supermarket ranges at M&S, Tesco F&F, Sainsbury’s Tu and Asda George, with editors cautioning that some new-season jackets could sell quickly.
