When it comes to autumn wardrobe staples, we’d recommend the following pieces.
Aviator Jacket or Biker Jacket
The perfect transitional jacket to take you through the autumn season.
Brown Distressed Faux Leather Relaxed Fit Belted Biker Jacket
Biker Boots / Chunky Boots
Legs out depending on the weather, of course.
Black PU Calf High Zip Back Chunky Boots
Black Extreme Flatform Sole Calf High Biker Boots
Faux Leather
Although we don’t want to wish autumn/winter weather on anyone, we do love faux leather trousers.
Opt for lighter colourways such as stone, burgundy or brown and save the all black vibes for winter.
Stone Faux Leather Low Rise Wide Leg Trousers
Dark Chocolate Faux Leather Pintuck Detail Straight Leg Trousers
Lightweight Knitwear
For when it’s too warm for a coat but we still need that added layer.
Light Grey Maxi Knitted Cardigan
Cream Button Front Knit Cropped Cardigan
Trench Coat
The ULTIMATE autumn purchase. A big statement but we’re sticking with it!
Light Khaki Cropped Belted Hem Trench Coat
Off White Woven Double Breasted Drapey Trench
In terms of transitional, more trend led basics, opt for ballet flats, denim midi skirts and boxy blazers.
Not only are they huge for AW23 but can be worn on repeat.
