6 Affordable Autumn Trends You Can Actually Shop on the High Street This Year

Truth be told, I’m the definition of the saying “champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget”. While my head is turned by the most recent Prada bag (what I would do to get my hands on the brown suede buckle tote), my landlord may not be happy with me skipping a few months rent to get it. Which is why I’m often on the lookout for ways to tick off the new season trends, without causing maximum damage to my debit card. Luckily, the high street is always here to help. And I would say one of my strong points as a fashion editor is managing to hunt down the expensive-looking items that trick people into thinking you’ve spent more on your outfit, than you actually have.

Of course the catwalks play a huge part in seasonal trends (I for one will be trying out Chloé’s boho vibe and Saint Laurent’s oxblood shade) but with some being more wearable than others, often it’s street style looks that kickstart a trend. Which is why I’ve picked some of the actually easy to style items, prints and details––from suede bags to studs––that can be found at some of your most-loved shops.
