The heritage trend has been a huge look over the last few weeks. After massive success across the AW25 catwalks, it’s an aesthetic that has quickly filtered down to the high street, and there are plenty of celebrities showing it off too.
The trend is all about combining highland vibes, outdoorsy fabrics, cosy knits and vintage check patterns into one chic but eclectic look. It’s absolutely perfect during the chillier months, thanks to the preference for wool fabrics and luxe layers.

Astra Shell Bomber Jacket
This zip-front bomber jacket is very similar to Emma’s sporty cover-up and will look great with a skirt or your favourite barrel-leg jeans.
Monki

Bold blue stripes will make a statement while still feeling classic and wearable. Wear this fuzzy sweater with denim or with tailored grey trousers for a smarter spin.

Lawson Chunky Leather Loafer
Loafers will make a preppy footnote to just about any outfit, and a chunky-soled pair like these have an edgier vibe to them that will add some oomph to your attire.
LK Bennett
Black Pip Tweed Kilt Skirt With Metal Buckle
The shorter length of this one will work nicely with tights and a cosy cardigan, or take it to date night with leopard print and a leather jacket.
Karen Millen
Tailored Buckle Detail Pleated Midi Skirt
Give this pleated number an chic outdoorsy feel with a tailored blazer and a soft-toned check shirt.
A kilt skirt is a great way to add a touch of heritage to your wardrobe, and if you opt for a darker-toned piece like Emma’s, you’ll find plenty of pieces to style it with. Try bold stripes and a jacket, or give it a dressier feel with a silky blouse and knee-high boots.
The high-cut, fitted waist combined with the pleated A-line shape is very flattering on most body types, too, so you’ll look and feel your best every time you wear it.
