The September Issue: The AW15 Trend Report

September is here mamas! As we wave a bittersweet goodbye to summer, we are looking ahead and finding plenty of reasons to get excited about autumn. We can’t wait to start kicking up leaves in our trusty Chelsea boots, indulging in decadent evenings-in with cosy jumpers, hot chocolate and scented candles, and of course trying out the latest new season trends!

Good news all – the 70’s obsession is set to continue well into the new season! This versatile trend offers something for everyone with colourful retro prints, iconic wrap dresses and soft bohemian silhouettes bringing out different fashion moods from this seriously stylish decade. We love Burberry Prorsum’s bohemian luxe prints and statement fringed ponchos, while Bottega Veneta displayed some gorgeous retro colour blocked pieces.

Work the trend with our stylish retro print maternity dresses.

It wouldn’t be autumn/winter without a healthy dose of monochrome – and this season is no exception. From stunning op art checks and stripes at Valentino to swirling psychedelic creations in black and white at Emilio Pucci, black & white is well and truly back for the new season.

Master monochromes with our Circle Print Maternity Dress or our Geo Print Maternity Wrap Dress.

We love autumn’s sophisticated new take on neon. The trick is to introduce just a hint of neon to energize an otherwise neutral outfit. J.Crew used neon yellow accent pieces to dress up cream and camel shades, while Kenzo added zingy neon highlights to jazz up their all black outerwear.

Our Neon Trim Snood Nursing Jumper is the perfect piece to work the trend; finely knit in soft grey with just a hint of zingy neon yellow trim.

Your nautical pieces are set to take on a whole new persona this season. Team striped dresses with tights and boots and top off with a leather jacket, or dress up your Breton tops with slim fitting tailored separates a la Filippa K.

Sail away with an autumn nautical look – work the trend in our Striped Side Popper Nursing Top or the Striped Maternity & Nursing Dress.

From glamorous green lurex at Christopher Kane to Sequins at Nina Ricci and a gold statement dress at Michael Kors, this is the season to sparkle! Shine through the party season and dress up your daywear with decadent sparkles – now is the time to unleash your inner bling monster!

Add a subtle shimmer to your day wear with our Sparkle Tweed Maternity Jacket, or our Long Line Glitter Nursing Top, and glam up your evening repertoire with a statement sequin cocktail dress.

Grey is the New Black: Meet The Shade of the Decade

From Apple Macs and iPhones to interior design and the fashion elite; it’s safe to say that grey is most definitely the new black!

Taking a look back into the fashion trends of the past, every decade tends to have a clearly definable signature shade: black and white for the 60’s, earthy browns and yellows for the 70’s, electric blue and neons for the 80’s and black and grey for the 90’s. The first decade of the new millennium got a little confused with an ‘anything goes’ attitude to colour, but here and now in 2014 grey is undoubtedly the chicest shade.

Loved by fashion icons, models and designers alike; this fabulously ubiquitous shade is just as likely to be spotted behind the scenes and out on the streets at fashion week as strutting down the runways. Soft, luxurious and never showy; Grey has become the ultimate expression of understated chic. The new neutral; grey is a fashion designer’s dream as it flatters every skin tone, and is guaranteed to bring out the best in any other colour you pair it with. Whether it’s black and white, rich jewel tones, bright neons or pastels; you won’t go wrong if you pair it with grey.

And this is not just a fashion phenomenon – grey is dominating modern design. From sleek Apple technology in silver to deep smokey walls splashed over the pages of glossy interior design mags and even the notorious top selling book of the decade so far – 50 Shades of Grey!

Almost without our noticing it, grey has made a stealthy transition from a nondescript kind of non-colour symbolising all things dull, drab and boring, to a true fashion shade coveted by the most stylish people on the planet. Here at Seraphine we can’t get enough of this gorgeous grey trend – you only have to take a quick look through our collections to find maternity styles in every shade from the lightest cloud to the deepest inky slate. Here are a few of our favourites:

The grey skinny jeans

The monochrome crosshatch maternity dress

The wool & cashmere coat

The wool & cashmere wrap cardigan

The snood nursing jumper

The long line jumper

Now that grey has got your attention, how will you incorporate this chicest of all shades into your maternity style?
