The seasons have changed and here at NAVY, we certainly don't mind. After a long summer wearing floaty Summer styles, the time to begin wearing chunky textured knits and contrasting layers is here. It's time to take it to a darker place, as we look towards a more brooding and bold AW16 season than ever before.
And to get our NAVY girls ready, there is a whole load of of brand new NAVY looks available on
ASOS. With everything from leather and lace combos, to voluminous ruffle silhouettes, to layers upon layers of lace. It's all new, all for AW16.
As the darker season approaches, look out for the gothic influences to creep further into your wardrobe. Tavi Gevinson vamps up her Autumn Winter 2016 look for Dazed's latest issue. Wearing nothing but Rodarte, Tavi works the layers of lace and the clashing of textures. A masterclass in how to wear black lace and brooding layers, all whilst invoking those punk trends that we are set to see grow this season.

As the darker season arrives, so does the black. Back in February, we saw so much top to toe black looks delivered on the catwalks of designers the world over. If you are someone who's wardrobe is mainly black, then this is the season for you. If black isn't your go to colour, then look forward to a season of experimenting with this more gothic tone.
But Autumn Winter 2016 sees a different way to wear black - get ready to layer up. With ruffles, lace, sheer textures, winter coats and plenty of pussy bows at your disposal this coming season, it's all to play for. Take a look over some of the top all black looks from the AW16 runways to inspired your all new, all dark wardrobe.
Going forward into AW16, it's time to turn the volume up a bit. Take the ruffles and frills of Spring Summer to excess.
Looking back on the catwalks for Autumn Winter 2016, it's easy to see that the silhouette for the new season will see bold sculptural sleeves and ruffled shoulders too.
With ruffles already being a feature in many SS16 wardrobes, it make this a very easy and important trend to help you transition through the seasons in style.
Whilst we all know that ruffles have been an important trend for the Summer season, these frills are not going anywhere as we move into Autumn Winter 2016. But expect them to be bigger, fuller and more sculptural before.
Moving on from the cold shoulder cut out we've seen over the last few months, AW16 will see our shoulders and sleeves going into excess to make up for it. The silhouette for AW16 has gone big, so expect billowing shoulders and sleeves full of voluminous ruffles and frills.
Whilst in the past ruffles have had a decidedly victorian twist. The new season opens up the way for more a modern interpretation too, with big minimal frills and sensual lace ruffles. But if you are a fan of the darkness AW16 typically brings, not to worry, the gothic yet romantic influence will still be a key look in your Autumn Winter wardrobe.
With a month of fashion weeks having delivered a stream of AW16 collections and giving us an insight into the
biggest new season trends. We thought we would treat you to a sneak peek of what is to come from us here at NAVY for the Autumn Winter 2016 collection.

Moving on from

With the circus of London Fashion Week swirling the streets of the capital, LFW always offers some sweet street style inspiration. Take a look over our top street style looks so far this week as journalists, bloggers, celebs and editors head between the AW16 shows taking place around the city.
As fashion week in New York draws to a close, it has been a week to show us all just how much the whole structure of the fashion show itself is changing. From interactive presentations and q&a's with models to Instagram collection debuts, the fashion shows as we know it is seriously evolving. But most importantly of all, fashion week is all about showcasing the upcoming trends for the next season.
