    Our edit of what to buy now from the new French Connection AW15 collection...

    Purses at the ready The new French Connection collection has landed, and it's packed full of new season buys we can t wait to wear.

    The collection takes huge inspiration from stylised rock icons of the 70s and 80s. The collection is in celebration of the world of fashion and music - and the flare is key throughout the collection, along with a touch of sparkle and the addition of jewels.

    New season, new coat right? Well, French Connection have you covered. 

    From chic wrap around s to graphic prints and cute cropped style there s something to suit all shapes. The key look for the next season is to team a classic trouser and blouse for the day, and then go all out with the 70s afterdark glamour for the evening.

    French Connection also have you covered for great work wear. From culottes with a newseason twist to pinafore dresses and must-have shoes. We re spoilt for choice. Embrace the colder weather in an amazing jumper. The last night slogan jumper will be our go-to for the weekend. Team with a leather skirt and boots for a night out or boyfriend jeans for Sunday brunch.

    It s never too early to start planning those christmas party dresses and for full-on glitz head to make a bee-line for the store. For floor length or mini, there s plenty of options to shimmer the night away in. Want to see which pieces we're wishing for?
