Now that fashion week has finished in London, having already got underway in Milan, it's time to review the week that was and check out the biggest Autumn Winter 2017 trends. From the most stylish ways to keep warm this Winter, to the trends you can invest in for Spring that will see you through the whole year in style.
See our LFW Autumn Winter 2017 trend round up below....
Despite a late September heatwave, there is finally a distinct autumnal chill in the air. It's officially time to get your new Autumn / Winter wardrobe on the go.
But if you are not ready to give up and don those big black tights just yet. Keep those pins in action by going for a longer length skirt to keep you warm as Autumn draws in. And NAVY has your longer hemline needs covered...
With Paris Fashion Week now well underway, we're taking a look back on what we have learned from Milan and the key trends to be looking out for come Spring Summer 2017.
From floaty boho layers to 80s style power dressing. These are the top trends and style tips to look forward to come 2017.
If you thought that we'd already hit 'peak' ruffle, then we're afraid to say you're wrong. The love for a touch of frill has been growing since SS16. At the moment, AW16 is all about big and bold ruffle silhouettes. But one thing we have learned from the latest run of shows at London Fashion Week is that those ruffles, frills and high collars are here to stay. And are getting even bigger and bolder than before.
If it's for Spring Summer 2017, then it needs ruffles. Whether up, down, sideways or all around, SS17 is all about taking traditional femininity and adding a touch of 80s power dressing, or turning it dark with a punky attitude and edgy accessories.
Check out our round of up of some of the best frills spotted on the catwalks of LFW.
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.
Whilst the season of Summer is so often associated with crisp white tones in the world of fashion. This time around, expect Spring Summer 2016 to be all about the contrast of black and white.
On the runways of
New York,
London and
Paris, we saw a much bigger concentration of edgy gothic lace, sheer black numbers and dark ruffles than in previous years. Contrasting perfectly alongside awesome white slip dresses, fresh floaty dresses and crisp white layers.
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.
Halloween may be over but our love for all things gothic isn't. Everything about this time of year is dark and brooding, and so your wardrobe should be too.
Victoriana influences were key for many designers this AW15, and this is the perfect time of year to bring that touch of gothic glamour to your look.
Think sheer layers, textured lace, long sleeves and high collars to hold onto the bewitching spirit of the time of year and embrace those gothic trends.

Fittingly for the season, many designers took a dark and brooding turn with their Autumn Winter 2015 collections. Calling upon the bewitching and romantic influence of Victorian styling to add a gothic touch to the season.
Invest in high collared styles, gothic lace, dark make-up and sheer layers to bring a touch of this Victoriana influence into your daily wardrobe.

Through both Autumn Winter 15 and Spring Summer 16, there has been one strong trend that only the bravest of us will be sporting. Facial jewellery, piercings and bold detailing rocked the catwalk for several designers, especially at both the AW15 and SS16 Givenchy shows.
Calling upon the endless talents of make up artist Pat McGrath, Givenchy's facial jewellery and face lace celebrate the strength of female beauty and empowerment. Drawing upon the gothic yet romantic and Victoriana influences that are all strong elements in the fashion industry this season and next.
From faux septum piercings, to bold ear cuffs and even adding ringed accessories to your hair, get inspired to go bold this season.

Over for another season, London Fashion Week didn't pull the outrageous alternative style punches it's know for, but was a delight non the less, signalling a sleek yet lo-fi Spring Summer to come.
Bora Aksu and Erderm brought some beauty to the week with reimagined lace designs, lots of emphasis on floor length dresses and volume. Burberry proved that lace isn't just for ladies. It was also the highlight of how to work the lo-fi look, teaming delicate lace with tench coats and rucksacks.
JW Anderson and Ashley William tell us that the 80s is still set to be an important reference in 2016, bomber jackets are key. Whilst Simone Rocha's floaty and quirky silhouettes capture the dreamy side of SS16.
