After witnessing the autumn/winter '23 showcases at the top end of this year, the time has finally come to take the latest trends into our stride. So what will be integrating into our wardrobes this season? In a sign of the times, the runways continued to dabble with '00s references, presenting new sartorial directions that are at once elevated and easily adopted.

In the transition from runway to store, we see pieces slightly adapted for wearability – take for instance Simone Rocha's slip dress or Diesel's sheer-panelled denim, both of which are subtly dialled down from the original show pieces. Elsewhere, there was a dedication to daily wear: from oversized knits to tailored shorts, these are trends that can we can effortless embrace. Or, take inspiration from the bolder seasonal tendencies, such as head-to-toe fire engine reds, or the most on-trend layering of skirts and dresses over trousers.

Below, a round-up of the 18 FW23 to know – and the best pieces to shop now for each.
