Trends For Less: Punky, Furry & Racy


After a lukewarm summer in the UK, we were briskly pushed into the nippiness of autumn. If you want to look good and avoid hypothermia, you need to stock up on woolies and warm things. This doesn’t mean you have to look dull, though. Style your staple wardrobe right and you can still stand out. Being a student can mean a gruelling choice between a new outfit and a week’s food. We want you to have both, so check out our style picks to find cheap and on-trend threads that won’t force you to eat plain pasta every night.

TARTAN

Tartan print is huge right now. With check on scarves, dresses, hairbands, coats and everything other item of clothing in between, autumn’s must-have pattern comes in all shapes and sizes.
Wear it tough and punky or softened and prim; just make sure you have it!

Topshop  have a whole spectrum of tartan to fall for. 
Even cheaper are these Primark finds (see instore for pricing)

FAUX FUR HEADWEAR

Furry hairbands are a stylish way to keep your head warm. Opt for neutral colours like cream, brown or black - they are easy tones that suit most outfits and echo the cuteness of naturally fluffy animals.
Love the look but scared of getting your hair wet? Fashion feels your pain.
Get a faux fur hat that’ll keep you snug and protect your do from the drizzle!

Boohoo  has lots of furry accessories to choose from, like these snuggly hats (£14)

TREND FORECAST: SUSPENDER LEGGINS
Footless tights, jeggins, treggins, leather-look jodhpurs…
just when you think you’ve seen all the variations of leggins another one hits the rails.
A cross between footless tights and boudoir wear, suspender leggings are sexy and sassy, and they will stop you from freezing your arse off. Available in all sorts of colours, prints and materials (even velvet), expect to see this kinky legwear option strutting down the high street soon.
Why not get them in tartan to rock two trends in one?
