It’s not easy being a student. No home cooked food, cheap wine and lusting after clothes you can’t afford. So, here is a roundup of some of the trends for AW16, and where to get your (much cheaper) style fix.

Valentino vs Zara
Like it or loathe it, velvet was seen at both London and Paris fashion weeks earlier this year, and is sure to be a staple in AW16.

Preen Vs Topshop
Calling all disco-lovers! Sequins are back for AW16, and in a big way. It’s easier than ever to pull off the trend, with subtle and sophisticated use of sparkle.

Topshop dress: £49

Gucci Vs Zara
Ruffles have the ability to look chic and sophisticated and made a big appearance for AW16. When approaching ruffles proceed with care; one feature item keeps it simple and lets the ruffles do the talking.
