As much as we don’t like saying goodbye to summer, autumn is approaching and it’s time to get your wardrobe ready for the new season. With just a few key pieces, you can easily build your autumn capsule, making the transition to cooler weather simple and effortless.  

We’ve rounded up all the essential items you need to create plenty of stylish fall outfits. The foundations of your Autumn wardrobe are all about classic layering pieces, smart casual tailoring, cosy knits, throw on dresses and go-to denims.   

Keep things fresh and stay on trend with these transitional weather styles below.  


Tailoring 

Tailored pieces are a staple you'll see everywhere this season and that's not just in the office. You can always rely on a good oversized blazer as the perfect layering piece and tailored trousers are a go-to for any smart casual outfit.

Trousers 

If you're after the ultimate transitional piece, wide leg pants are it. An alternative to jeans, their versatile appeal and relaxed fit means you can wear trousers with pretty much anything and be comfortable all day.

Knitwear 

Our favourite thing about the Autumn months? Knitwear is back. You can never have too many knits and sticking with neutral colours will make styling your outfits easier than ever.

Cooler weather doesn't mean you need to ditch the dresses. In fact, for effortless style, essential dresses include knitted styles and midis paired with ankle boots, that you can take anywhere from the office to the bar.
