Unlike many of the other sartorial offerings this season, this is a casual, relaxed and easy trend. Styling looks and should be effortless, but accessories are key. This look is made up of layers; each layer says something different using prints, colour and shape.
Being a trend harking back to the good old days when native tribes made their own clothes using materials immediately available to them, it should come as no surprise that natural materials are the backbone of this look. Think of leather, cotton, wool, suede and fur, although for modern purposes this should be faux fur.
Colours are based around the primary three, yellow, blue and red. However, strong dashes of orange and green feature heavily. Rather than bright and bold hues, shades are muted and worn looking, so look for mustards, navys and maroons.
In terms of pattern think ethnic. Look for asymmetric Aztec stripes, Navajo zig zags and a healthy dose of check and plaid.
Accessories bring this look together. Faux fur or woollen scarves are a must, as are leather satchel bags complete with fringing and etching. Hats, particularly the boyfriend fit beanie, will round you off on top and will even keep you warm when the temperature dips.
Shoe wise, you should actually opt for boots. Your main flat options are slouchy leather ankle boots with buckles and tassels or Ugg-style soft boots with shearling or faux fur trim. If you want to add some height, keep the buckles and fringing, add some shearling or walking boot-esque hook-up laces and a wooden heel and you are ready to roll.
