As the leaves begin to turn and the air gets crisper, it’s time to transition your wardrobe into the rich, textured layers of autumn. Autumn 2024 is set to be a season of nostalgic patterns, practical dressing, and luxurious materials, all with a strong nod to sustainability. With so many trends and tips to consider, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to keep you stylish, informed, and conscious of your environmental footprint.

 

Nostalgic Revival Meets Modern Practicality

Autumn 2024 is awash with nostalgia, with many designers drawing inspiration from the '40s through to the '60s, giving classic styles a modern twist. Vintage leopard prints and cool florals are making a major comeback, according to Glamour magazine, offering the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into those timeless pieces you’ve tucked away. This season is also marked by practical yet stylish garments—think wide silhouettes, cape-inspired outerwear, and tartan patterns that provide both comfort and fashion-forward flair. 

Upcycling Tip: Instead of purchasing new, consider upcycling vintage clothing you already own. A vintage dress with a bold floral print could be modernised with a statement belt or layered with a chunky knit for a fresh autumn look. 

 

Accessories That Make a Statement

Accessories are the perfect way to update your wardrobe without overhauling it completely. This season, statement accessories are everywhere—from bag charms to fuzzy footwear and piled-high faux fur. Vogue highlights the trend of “Neck-up fashion,” where hats, scarves, and bold necklines take centre stage, making them essential additions to your autumn wardrobe.

Sustainable Shopping Tip: Instead of investing in fast fashion accessories, choose timeless, versatile pieces that can be worn year after year. Paguro’s range of eco-friendly bags and accessories are not only stylish but also kind to the planet, ensuring your autumn wardrobe remains both chic and conscious. 

 

Statement Accessories: Inner Tube Jewellery

This season, accessories are more than just add-ons; they are statements of intent. Our inner tube jewellery collection is the perfect example of how fashion can be bold, beautiful, and sustainable. Each piece is handcrafted from reclaimed rubber, offering a unique blend of industrial edge and elegance. These accessories are not only conversation starters but also a testament to how everyday materials can be transformed into something extraordinary. 

 

Seasonal Colours and Textures

Autumn is all about rich, earthy tones—deep greens, warm ochres, and terracotta hues dominate the season’s palette. Forbes notes the rise of “Dark Romance” and “Bold Glamour,” with jewel tones like burgundy and navy blue taking the spotlight. These colours not only capture the essence of the season but are also incredibly versatile, allowing you to mix and match with ease. 

Upcycling Tip: Consider dyeing lighter summer fabrics in rich autumn shades to extend their wearability into the cooler months. This not only gives your wardrobe a fresh look but also reduces the need to purchase new items, aligning with sustainable fashion practices. 

 

Timeless Elegance: The Conture Collection

For those special autumn occasions, the Conture Collection offers necklaces and earrings that blend classic design with modern sustainability. Handmade using recycled teak, redwood, or oak offcuts from furniture making, each piece is a work of art. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, including both silver and gold, these pieces allow you to add a touch of luxury to your wardrobe while staying true to your environmental commitments.

The Conture Collection’s versatility makes it easy to match with almost any outfit, whether it’s for a formal event or a casual day out. With styles ranging from subtle studs to bold statement necklaces, there’s something for every occasion.  

 

Functionality Meets Fashion

This season, practicality is key. The fashion world is embracing functional clothing that doesn’t compromise on style. From off-piste ski aesthetics to wide silhouettes and duvet-inspired dressing, designers are focusing on comfort and wearability. Glamour emphasises that many of the looks from the runway were not only stylish but also wearable in everyday life, making it easier for you to integrate these trends into your autumn wardrobe. 

Sustainable Styling Tip: Layering is essential for the UK’s unpredictable autumn weather. Combine lightweight summer pieces with cosy knits and capes, adding functional accessories like our recycled rubber bags to keep your look both practical and stylish. 

 

Embrace the Season with Sustainable Style

Autumn 2024 is the perfect time to rethink your wardrobe, incorporating vintage-inspired trends, practical fashion, and sustainable choices. By making mindful decisions and investing in eco-friendly accessories, you can create a wardrobe that not only reflects the season’s key trends but also supports a more sustainable future.

Whether you’re upcycling vintage finds, dyeing existing garments, or choosing timeless pieces from Paguro’s collection, your autumn wardrobe can be both stylish and kind to the planet. Embrace the changing season with confidence, knowing that every choice you make is a step towards a more sustainable and stylish future.
