We can’t currently scroll through Instagram without spotting someone sporting an embroidered blouse/peasant dress/kaftan while sunning themselves in an exotic location. While colourful embroidered pieces do naturally lend themselves to sunnier climes, this trend is going nowhere for Autumn.
On the AW16 catwalks a number of designers - including Gucci and Dolce and Gabanna - showcased jackets, dresses and accessories adorned with beautiful, intricate embroidery.
The trend has also already had the celebrity stamp of approval - style mavens Olivia Palermo and Diane Kruger have both been snapped donning embroidered pieces of late.
While over the past year both embroidered bombers and embroidered jeans have been all the rage, for AW16, dresses, coats, boots and more have all been given the embroidered treatment.
Whether you go for an all-over embroidered number or prefer just a small splattering of embroidered detail, there is something for you in our edit. Plus, if you're a minimalist at heart you can still pay tribute to this trend with a pair of embroidered shoes or a bag.
