Things have gone dotty this season. Polka dots, whether mini spots or large bold dots were all around the AW16 catwalks. Especially in sheer form, the easiest way to add some subtle spotty details to your look without overwhelming your outfit. Keeping away from prim and pretty polka dot, sheer spot layers add that element of grown up gothic influence to your look. Perfect for your Winter wardrobe this year.

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.

This season is all about volume, all about ruffles. Now forget about girlish frills, this season, ruffles have grown up.

It's all about roughing up your ruffles this year. Ruffles for Spring Summer 2016 are here to add bold silhouettes, asymmetric tiered hems, voluminous sleeves and confident detailing to your wardrobe. Clash these traditionally feminine textures with androgynous accessories, edgy sheer layers and chunky bold shoes.

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.

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.

There is no doubt that sheer is back again for the Autumn Winter 2015 season, lending itself well to layering, high collar styles and gothic lace trends. But sheer also has the quality of being a great transitional fabric. Easing you from Summer into Autumn by layering up with these light fabrics without getting too bulky too quickly whatever the weather.

Sheer swept the runways of AW15, and no one did it better then Vivienne Tam, Maison Margiela, PPQ and Vera Wang. Take inspiration from the sheer delights of the catwalk and bring your transitional wardrobe to life with key sheer styles.


Keeping our NAVY girls on track, shop sheer with NAVY this AW15.
