Top Cult Buys According to My Timeline

When you’re constantly spending time looking through clothes as I do, you instantly start picking up specific details on things. Whether it’s spotting a particular print that’s trending, a colour or even a designer/brand. Recognising trends is simply a part of the job, and as everything takes place online I often find myself making subconscious mental notes of the most popular trends I see on my timeline like Pinterest and Instagram. While I wouldn’t attribute the coveted “cult buy” status to just any product, I have spotted four particular items already this autumn that I believe deserve that exclusive title following their appearances on most of my go-to bloggers or just fashion individuals I follow. From the “toddler” shoe to the chunky “Chelsea” inspired, these cult buys are everywhere.

Below I share an edit of these trends currently flooding my timeline.

The Quilted Jacket/Coat

Think ‘updated bomber’. It’s like wearing a duvet, so soft, warm and feels like you never left your bed. They are filled with down insulation or synthetic fibers, both of which can provide a high level of warmth depending on how well they are made and the quality.

The Statement Carrier

This season (and for the longest time) has been about the statement bag. The kind not everyone would go for. But besides the shape, colour and look of it I’ve been spotting bloggers rocking the soft, gathered leather kind. I personally love the look and feel it gives an outfit. It’s an instant elevation. I also recently got myself a gathered, soft leather number that you can get a better glimpse of and similar recommendations [ Read Here: A/W Carrier Freshness ].

The Fisherman Sandals

These ancient styled footwear is in the center of trends right now. They are designed this way (in a fisherman’s world) to allow water to drain for the foot. These are on high trend alert and it’s no wonder- they are practical, wearable and good value.

The Cardigan

The most elegant and modest piece to own. All it takes is a few smart styling choices to turn a simple button-up sweater into something that’ll really elevate a look. Warm, stylish, easy and transeasonal. You just can’t go wrong.

The Buttery Hues

Sorbet inspired colours are the perfect option for summer and now winter as they suit a variety of skin tones. From a statement boiler suit or an oversized trench (oh, a soft lavender in this please). Suits, separates, they just look good. The idea of soft, buttery hues is without a doubt an aesthetic and remains one of the chicest styles for seasons to come.

The Chunky Boot

Looking to edge up your look? A good pair of these should do. This is definitely a comfortable, yet fun way to elevate your looks. Whether it’s running errands, getting dressed up or just keeping it casual. It will definitely make a statement. I also share my very own pair that I own and similar shopping recommendations [ Read Here: A/W Lust Worthy Footwear ].
