AW15 fashion & catwalk trends from A-Z
From snake print at Miu Miu to sweet pastels at Loewe, the trends from the A/W 2015 catwalks are in. Here are the new season must-haves that you can get your hands on. It's time to learn your sartorial alphabet...
IndigitalA is for Animal attraction
From snake print at Miu Miu to leopard at Erdem, here is where the wild things are.
A is for Animal attraction
Wool-blend coat, £89.99, Mango
IndigitalB is for Bad taste
Love it or hate it, the ’80s are back. A mash-up of lamé, brights and prints signals a return to an era known for its questionable style.
B is for Bad taste
Leather Heels, £270, Kurt Geiger
IndigitalC is for Check mate
For those with classic sensibilities, checks and plaids are a new-season saviour. A Crombie-style coat like this will do the job nicely.
C is for Check mate
Wool coat, £715, Kate Spade
IndigitalD is for Death becomes her
Step into the darkness with A/W15’s most beguiling trend. The key to this tricky look is to add more modern pieces – a Victorian-style blouse works well with black skinny jeans.
D is for Death becomes her
Suede and Leather Boots, £90, Office
IndigitalE is for Elegance
Think silky blouses, leather gloves and pencil skirts in simple neutrals. It’s time to be a lady.
E is for Elegance
Polyester Blouse, £29.50, Marks and Spencer

A trend that’s here to stay. Go for neutrals rather than last winter’s more colourful hues.
F is for Faux fur
Mohair Bag, £65, Dorothy Perkins
IndigitalG is for Girls in the hood
The parka is this season’s biggest coat trend. Don’t relegate it to weekend wear – the parka works well mixed with more polished pieces.
H is for Heels you can walk in
For those who like a little lift, rejoice – the heel is back. Just
keep it sweet and low. Patent Leather Shoes, £185, Russell and Bromley
I is for Investment piece
Look for something you’ll want to wear this season and beyond. This super-luxe leather coat by Hobbs gets our vote.

IndigitalK is for Keep dancing
Looking for inspiration for new-season eveningwear? Think Studio 54’s late-’70s glam – lurex, platforms and rich, shimmering shades.
IndigitalL is for Look, no hands
When it comes to sleeve length this season, go to great lengths to conceal hands and fingers.
Rex FeaturesM is for Margot Tenenbaum
Look to Gwyneth Paltrow’s character in cult flick The Royal Tenenbaums. Sportswear has never been cooler.
IndigitalM is for Margot Tenenbaum
IndigitalN is for New kids on the block
It’s like the fashion world’s version of musical chairs, with a host of new designers taking over at houses.
IndigitalO is for Oh, what a lovely pair
No tiny hoops here. Head-turning statement earrings are having a moment.
IndigitalP is for Pale and interesting
Powdery pastels are the order of the day. Modern shapes keep it sweet rather than saccharine.
IndigitalS is for Shoulder to shoulder
The new way to show some skin? Get your shoulders out.
S is for Shoulder to shoulder
Cotton Mix Dress, £89, Cos

This season has seen a real conversation about the blurring of gender in fashion. Don’t be afraid to show your masculine side.

IndigitalV is for Velvet Underground
Designers came over all touchy-feely this season, with velvet everywhere, from Christopher Kane to Gucci.
IndigitalW is for Watch this face
Model Nora Attal first came to our attention in JW Anderson’s S/S14 campaign, and we predict big things for her this year.
IndigitalX is for X-rated
Not for the faint-hearted. If the idea of head-to-toe PVC has you running scared, opt for high-shine accessories, as seen at Dior.
IndigitalY is for Years and years
Channel your inner Annie Hall – the ’70s revival is here to stay.
Z is for Zoolander
