Think Burgundy. Think Colour. Think Comfort.
As the new season begins, September brings with it the excitement of fresh styling opportunities. For many, autumn means reaching for familiar favourites such as black, grey, and brown tones. But for those of us reluctant to let go of summer’s brights, there’s good news, colour can still play a leading role in our wardrobes, just with an autumnal twist.
This season, bold burgundy is our trend forecast. Deep, dramatic, and effortlessly chic, this mulberry shade is set to become a forever classic. With the Story trainer in mulberry suede, you don’t need a wardrobe full of shoes. One trainer, styled in different ways, can carry you through your autumn outfits with ease.
Comfort and style meet seamlessly in this versatile pair, showing us that one shoe really can do it all. To prove it, we’re sharing four ways to style the Story trainer this season, with outfits that work for everything from weekends away to weekday staples.
Because burgundy, much like fine wine, only gets better with time.
The Denim Dream
Denim never goes out of style, and when paired with the Story trainer, it’s a match made in fashion heaven. The soft texture of suede against durable denim creates a look that feels both timeless and modern.
Style with your favourite blue jeans, a classic white tee, and a cardigan, we recommend grey for its chic contrast with burgundy, but beige, black, or brown work just as well. Add silver accessories to elevate the look without overcomplicating it. The simpler the outfit, the better: the trainers do all the work for you.
The Autumn Layers
Just because the season has changed, this doesn’t mean your summer favourites have to be packed away. Autumn is all about layering, so bring your midi dresses and skirts into rotation with a little seasonal styling.
Pair a lightweight satin skirt with an oversized knit and finish with the Story trainer for a balanced look. Think of it as the ‘sandwich dressing technique’: shoes and top in harmony, with a contrasting piece (such as a cream skirt) acting as the filling. The trainers add colour without overwhelming your outfit, becoming the subtle yet stylish finishing touch.
The Blazer Balance
Nothing elevates casual wear quite like a blazer. Take a black tee and jeans, throw on your favourite tailored blazer, and let the Story trainer complete the look.
Accessorise with a burgundy hair clip or handbag for a cohesive ‘top-to-toe’ effect. Burgundy feels like the mature colour of summer and is perfect for autumn dressing.
The Timeless Trench
Some pieces never leave our wardrobes, and the trench coat is one of them. Classic, chic, and endlessly versatile, it pairs perfectly with trainers.
For a polished yet relaxed look, wear your trench over a black-and-white outfit and finish with the Story trainer. Burgundy here becomes the new black; a sophisticated pop of colour that still feels neutral enough to wear every day.
