Timeless pieces for an autumn capsule wardrobe
Now is the perfect time to add to your collection of autumn wardrobe essentials you'll wear for years to come. A trench coat in a neutral hue is an autumn capsule wardrobe must-have – it'll keep you warm while it's still too early for your heavy winter coat, and you'll get great use out of it in spring, too.
Make sure you've got a great pair of jeans. We've got plenty of styles to choose from, from relaxed boyfriend jeans to our patch pocket flared jeans. A waistcoat is a smart investment for your capsule wardrobe, too – this trend has serious staying power, and a knitted waistcoat is a great option for casual looks.
Key trends for autumn
When it comes to picking out your autumn fashion essentials, it's all about finding that balance between timeless capsule pieces and current trends. Animal print is huge at the moment – with their comfy drawstring waist, these animal-print wide leg trousers are perfect for your casual autumn outfits.
Cowboy-style boots the most coveted footwear this autumn, and we love them teamed with a maxi dress or a mini skirt and tights to add a little edge to your outfit. Don't forget your autumn jacket – choose trending styles like a textured bomber or utility jacket. Accessories, such as scarves and bags, are perfect for incorporating trends into your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
Transitioning your wardrobe between seasons
Wondering how to dress for autumn when the weather can be so unpredictable? As the season starts to turn and the temperatures drop, it's time to make some subtle wardrobe changes. The good news is that you can still make the most of your summer staples, like slip skirts and warm-weather tops – simply layer them with oversized shirts, cardigans or scarves, and switch sandals for ballet flats or tights and boots.
Lightweight knitwear, like this air yarn crew-neck top, is ideal for casual autumn looks. It's breathable enough to keep you feeling comfy in all weathers, even an unexpected burst of autumn sunshine (hey, we can dream).
