As for day-to-day inspiration, look no further than London-based brand Damson Madder. Known for its bedcore co-ords, the brand offers looks that pair beautifully with vibrant ballet flats (or trainers) and statement jewellery pieces. Aka, an outfit that takes little effort to put together.

Another brand we’re loving take on the trend is GANNI. The Copenhagen powerhouse is all about relaxed, comfortable fits that bridge the gap from day to night (literally). For the autumnal shift, you can take inspiration from this black and white gingham co-ord, paired with brown leather biker boots for a transitional look.
