If you know me, you'll know there's one thing that I was very excited about when moving to the Northern Hemisphere – finally having autumn at the same time as the rest of the world. A few years ago, I would practically force myself into cosy jumpers and scarves while carving a pumpkin and sipping hot chocolate, all the while sweating from every orifice in the blisteringly warm Spring weather.
Delightful imagery aside, one thing I look forward to every year is the arrival Fall fashion and trends. The little goth teenager deep inside of me yearns for the day when upbeat summer trends become utterly irrelevant and I can delve into a world of dark, moody colours and thick, heavy fabrics.
There are a few key trends this year that I'm really excited about. The following three are the ones I'm most looking forward to incorporating into my own wardrobe.

Your Knight in Shining Givenchy
I'm sorry, are you telling me I can actually wear my own version of chainmail? I've dreamed of this day since I was a little girl forcing my friends to joust in the school playground.
I love the idea of clinking metal following me wherever I walk – and the fear that will grow in men's eyes as they realise I can not be stabbed.

The Good, the Bad, and the Fabulous
Ah, remember the day when your mother would let you hitch up your petticoat and drive the wagon while she used the shotgun to hunt some turkey? Me neither. However, I do love to pretend I'm a hardworking frontier woman when I take out the laundry and balance the basket on my hip.
This year's take on the pioneer woman will give you that vintage feel, sans the bedbugs and smallpox.

You-and-I sex
Unisex pieces have been popping up more and more recently. Maybe it's because people are realising that we don't need different clothes for different social constructs. Or maybe, it's because it's trendy and men's clothes are mother-of-god comfortable.
Either way, I will gladly throw on a pair of herringbone trousers along with a matching coat – if only because they're bound to have pockets.
