Fashion is an ever-changing game, and it’s no easy task to stay ahead of it every single time. But fret not, Tatler has got you covered with our monthly lookbook, which gives you a thematic selection of season-specific looks, of course, curated from tip to toe.
As the leaves turn, so does our style, and October brings a fresh wave of autumnal inspiration. This month, we explore the season’s contrasting trends: Etro, Chloé, and Rabanne’s bohemian 1970s revival, with flowing silhouettes, suede accents and eclectic prints; these sit alongside the unexpected return of tartan—the iconic Scottish print reclaiming its rebellious spirit from the 1980s and 90s. Whether you’re drawn to free-spirited bohemianism or edgy tartan, join us to discover the must-have pieces of this autumn.

Pink had a major moment last year, thanks to the Barbiecore craze—and it’s not going anywhere. After all, it’s Pink October, or breast cancer awareness month—so embrace the rosy hue and show your support. (Bonus: it’s a majorly flattering shade for every skin tone.)
Scottish charm

Acne Studios outfit

The Row outfit
Through the Eighties and Nineties, tartan built a reputation as being the signature of grunge and rebellion, thanks in no small part to Vivienne Westwood. This season, it’s shed its rebellious image—although it’s still making a statement, taking centre stage at shows like Dior, Acne Studios and Altuzarra. Forget staying home, bundled up a tartan blanket; this iconic Scottish print wants to be seen.

Feng Cheng Wang outfit
Clockwise, from top left: Omega watch, Thom Browne tie, Jacquemus sunglasses, Simone Rocha shirt, Loewe bag, Valentino shoe, Courrèges trousers
Moschino tie
The tie is back but it’s shedding its corporate image. It’s no longer a symbol of formality but a bold statement piece that can elevate any outfit. For an updated classic look, pair a silk tie with a crisp white shirt. If you’re feeling edgy, opt for a leather number from Bottega Veneta or a knit version from Tom Ford—perfect with wide-legged trousers and a casual jacket.
Free Spirits
Rabanne outfit
Etro outfit
Clockwise, from top left: Brunello Cucinelli top, Dsquared2 necklace, Oscar de la Renta scarf, Alexander McQueen ring, Alaïa belt
Clockwise, from top left: Fendi top, Ferragamo shoe, Patrizia Pepe trousers, Bally scarf
If you’ve spent the summer in flowy dresses, rejoice: this season is set to continue celebrating the boho, Seventies vibe: think flowing silhouettes, suede accents and eclectic prints. We’ve seen it on catwalks everywhere, with fringe taking centre stage. Think vibrant blues at Rabanne and a veritable smorgasbord of patterns at Dries Van Noten and Etro. Just add statement boots and a laidback attitude.
Loafing around
Prada shoes
JM Weston x Sacai shoes
Jimmy Choo shoes
Sergio Rossi shoe
Prada’s designs are sleek, Jimmy Choo’s interpretations glamorous, while Tod’s classics are timeless: whatever your vibe, loafers are a key piece for comfort this winter. Their easy, slip-on nature belies their versatility—sure they’re the perfect work shoe, but they’re equally suited to being dressed down with jeans and a jumper.
