How many days a week do you wake up and think, 'Not again!' We're talking about getting dressed in the morning, of course, a daily activity that, depending on organisational skills and decisiveness, might be easy as pie or exceedingly challenging. If you're in the latter camp, how about some outfit trends courtesy of your favourite street-stylers who have been travelling around the world over the past few weeks attending shows in New York, London, Milan and now Paris?
These people are masters at planning and packing, nailing trending outfits that you're almost guaranteed to be served on Instagram. From colour-blocking your sweaters now that it's time for the cosy section of your wardrobe to come out of hibernation to cracking out the sequins even though it's months before Christmas, these are the six ideas that are inventive enough to make you stop scrolling.
What outfits are trending for autumn 2024?
With the weather now serving a distinctly autumnal vibe, jackets were given pride of place on the streets, with collarless tweed styles and suede blazers making their presence felt outside the shows. After a summer of wafting around in dresses, the skirt also emerged as something of an autumn power player, from sheer column styles to sequinned minis that have officially started the countdown to party season (trending going-out outfits will resolve around the short and the spangled for winter 2024, FYI). Here are the six outfit formulas that caught our eye this fashion month.
Tweed Jacket + Baggy Jeans
Now it's officially jacket weather, why not revisit a trending style from last season? The collarless tweed blazer definitely still has legs for autumn 2024, especially when styled here over a crop top and distressed baggy jeans for a bit of cheek.

Trench Coat + Tailored Slacks
Looking to give your 9-5 a glow-up? Ashley Graham's Tod's look was a timely lesson in nailing autumn workwear, with a leather-edged coat worn over a blue shirt, tailored brown slacks and square-toed ankle boots.

Knitted Dress + Sleek Pumps
A knitted maxi can most definitely be a smart proposition. Just ask this street-styler, whose sexily wrapped sweater dress was styled with patent heeled pumps for an outfit that has legs for work and play.

Shirt + Sequinned Skirt
A sequinned micro skirt might seem like a strictly after-hours garment, but this show-goer proved that you can wear it during the day with an oversized button-down and suede knee-high boots.

Cardigan + Vest
It's finally sweater weather, which means sorting through your knitwear drawer ASAP. If you've taken stock but still need inspiration, copy this show-goer by styling a sleeveless vest over a crew-neck cardigan.

Suede Jacket + Mini Dress
Suede jackets are the autumn cover-up to be spotted in after receiving street-style endorsements at every fashion week so far. In Milan, the women paired their butter-soft blazers with red hot mini dresses of almost exactly the same length.
