London brought us primary-coloured fishermen and Milan delivered Alpinists with a Kurt Cobain fetish, but which of Paris Fashion Week's sartorial scenarios do we expect to be tasked with tackling in the cold light of next winter? Here are five fads we reckon have stylistic staying power.
If you spent your weekend under a duvet, glued to Netflix’s awesome new sci-fi drama Stranger Things, you’re not alone. We’re just as obsessed with the search for Will Byers but it’s not just the delicious 80s film references, on-point soundtrack and properly jump-making action that’s got us gripped – have you noticed how awesome the clothes are? Here are the style lessons we’ll be taking away from Hawkins, Indiana.
The wistful romance of the road movie is often helped by the retro American settings or epic bluesy scores, but rock-solid style credentials always help. Whether it's biker leather or grungy 90s staples, some of the best cool clothing in cinema belongs to the road movie genre - check out our five favourites below for some on-the-road wardrobe inspiration.
We're not suggesting there's such a thing as watching the same episode of MiC too many times, but when you've seen them all twice (okay, more like 12 times), it may be time to give another show a go. Break your habit by discovering the joy that is Southern Charm.
Guess what? The decade that refuses to die has risen from it's very shallow grave once again to influence the hottest trends around for AW15 - and we're all loving it. Worn your bucket hat all summer? Copped an oversized flannel shirt or CK-logoed sweat recently? Got your eye on a parka for winter?
You might think Mick Jagger is the coolest Rolling Stone - he has songs dedicated to his dance moves and a series of supermodel exes after all - but boy, you'd be wrong. Keith Richards, the wilder, edgier 'bandleader' has had bad-boy rocker style down since the 60s and is still working it today.
2015 has been the year of the man bun. From popstars' topknots to footballers' shaggy twists, the hairstyle's rise to A-list levels has been helped along by the star power of almost every male celeb on the planet (or at least, that's how it seems).
Fashion has always been in love with the past and, each season, one decade or another rises to the top of every menswear designer's hit list. Right now, it's the 70s. From Hedi Slimane at Saint Laurent - whose boho collection was the stuff of psych rock dreams - to the flares seen everywhere from Gucci to Raf Simons, the 'decade that taste forgot' is well and truly back.
On 10 April, you'll be able to delve further than ever into the life of Nirvana frontman and seminal grunge icon Kurt Cobain, with the UK release of a new documentary about his life - Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck. And guess what we're delving into to celebrate? Yup, his genre-defining style.
Travel
As our plane lands at Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, it's a challenge not to pinch ourselves. Rising out of the sapphire sea, forested islands are fringed by deserted beaches and just-submerged coral reefs. It really is paradise.
