If you had to choose just four items of clothing to see you through the autumn, what would you pick? We asked ourselves this question and began putting together our top autumn fashion checklist to help you refresh your wardrobe.
We knew our choices had to be warm, sturdy and – most importantly – stylish, so we looked through our latest collections of women’s designer jumpers, coats and footwear to find the essentials for this gorgeous golden season.
Paul & Joe: April Coat
You can cinch in the waist and create a sophisticated silhouette with the matching waist tie belt, and the thick wool-mix fabric will keep you toasty warm on those brisk autumn and winter mornings.
This look is so on trend this season, and is one of the best autumn and winter coats we’ve ever seen. We especially love the deep front pockets and turn-up detail cuffs, adding that little something extra in the design department. Try layering it over your favourite black sweater and wide leg pants for the ultimate monochrome ensemble that’ll keep you sheltered from the elements as the weather gets colder this season. Find it in your size here.
Chinti & Parker: Cat Outline Sweater
After the all-important coat, your next autumn fashion point of call absolutely has to be knitwear, and jumpers in particular. We’ve got a new collection full of women’s designer jumpers, but this one in particular is just too adorable not to make it onto our autumn fashion checklist.
So simple, yet so clever. This striking sweater is Chinti & Parker’s unique take on the ‘Owl and the Pussycat’ poem, and features a gorgeous and simplistic cream outline of the cat, contrasted brightly on its deep navy background.
And, as if the cute-as-anything design wasn’t enough to make you fall for this jumper, just wait until you get your hands on the fabric. This jumper is made from 100% cashmere, making it luxuriously soft and warm, perfect for snuggling up during these chilly autumn days. Wear it over a pair of casual jeans and match it up with some designer sneakers to create a super luxe daytime outfit. Grab yours here.
Vivetta: Valencia Embroidered Jeans
Next stop: Denim. No autumn fashion checklist is complete without a pair of hardy designer jeans to keep you warm and looking bang on trend this season. We’ve had loads of new designer jeans in, just in time for the start of the autumn season, but we picked these gorgeous Vivetta embroidered jeans as our checklist essential for some very obvious reasons.
Firstly, who couldn’t fall head over heels for that embroidery? Perfect for adding a bit of colour and intrigue to your autumn wardrobe, these delicate little motifs will lift any casual outfit into something truly special.
Secondly, these relaxed boyfriend-style jeans provide a refreshing break from the high number of skinny styles that still dominate the denim market. Sitting high on the waist for a flattering silhouette, these Vivetta jeans come in an easy-to-wear mid wash blue shade so you can pair them with practically anything.
Hudson London: Liberty Print Boot
Of course, no autumn fashion ensemble would be complete without a new pair of sturdy designer boots to help you brave the colder weather. But have you ever seen a pair of ankle boots with such a beautiful and perfectly autumnal print? These gorgeous Liberty Print boots are the product of a Hudson London and Liberty London collaboration, and they certainly set our print-loving antennas a-twitching. It’s little wonder, then, that they shot straight into our autumn fashion checklist.
With those incredible earthy colours and the elegant leafy secret garden pattern, these boots go much further than being suitable for the season; they celebrate it. You could wear these with anything you like, whether it be casual jeans, skirts or dresses. The heel is high enough to add elegance and height, while staying low enough to make these boots perfect for all day and all night wearing. Tempted? Of course you are. Get yours here.
With these autumn essentials ticked off on your checklist, you’ll be ready to head out into the season, dressed head to toe in boutique style. You’re so very welcome.
