Autumn Wardrobe Must Haves

Autumn Designer Fashion

If you hadn’t already worked it out Autumn is my favourite time of year with the first chill inspiring me to rediscover my beloved jumpers, coats and cardigans in my wardrobe which had been dismissed in favour of more Summery garments. There are some key pieces that I believe every Autumn wardrobe should have and today I wanted to share them with you.

Outerwear

The lightweight, weather-proof trench coat is perfect for autumn and winter weather and is flexible enough to be worn with anything. For a casual weekend look team with jeans and sneakers for day, or glam it up with a dress and heels for after work drinks. Check out Isabel Marant for some great options.

A leather or bomber jacket is a key item in autumn wardrobe and adds instant edge to any outfit. Again this garment is super versatile and can be work with jeans and a tee shirt just as well as over a blouse and black trousers.

Layering Basics

Any good wardrobe needs foundation pieces and these really come into play in the colder months when you want to add extra layers to keep warm. Start with some reliable tee shirts – one white tee and one dark tee and add a few quirky styles like baseball or go for more colourful options like stripes.

A great laying tool is the cardigan, I recommend having a couple stashed in your autumn wardrobe — one neutral, one colour. A flexible option, cardigans can be worn over pretty much anything, anywhere. A neutral shade like the cardigan in the Prada collection goes with everything, and longer style that hits at the hip flatters most figures.

Knitwear

I love knitwear in all forms but when the colder weather creeps in I find the easiest way to stay warm but stylish is to don a knitted jumper dress. I recommend wearing tights or some simple black leggings for extra warmth. Jumper dresses usually come either as a fitted style or a more relaxed shape so make sure to pick the best for your figure.

When you want to stay stylish but also want to keep warm then a cashmere sweater is a great option. Perfect for layering up with a collared shirt for the office of pairing with midi skirts, printed trousers or even leather pants a cashmere jumper is easy to dress up as well as down. I love the high-low hemline jumpers from the Sass & Bide collection.

Boots

A staple for any autumn style is the perfect pair of boots. To keep extra warm and chic why not try over the knee boots? They are flexible enough to wear with jeans and a jumper for a casual daytime look or with a skirt or mini dress at night. I recommend choosing a dark colour to compliment all of your outfits or mix it up with a more stand out grey, cognac or shoot for the wow-factor check out the suede lace ups from Prada.

If knee high boots are not your style then you can’t go wrong with a reliable pair of ankle boots; stylish and versatile this shoe never seems to get old. I always splash out on a new pair of ankle boots each year because they go with everything and help protect me from slippery winter pavements. Choose a simple plain design or tszuj it up with fringing, buckles or straps.
