Fashion Picks: October/November 2023: Autumn in style

With autumn at our doorstep and cooler temperatures that call for cosy looks, why not give your wardrobe a fresh and stylish makeover built around favourite items from last season? Summer may now seem like a distant memory, but no need to ditch dresses once temperatures start to drop!

Revamp your workwear

Beat the grey-day blues by investing in some fashionable workwear staples that will keep you sorted all season. A pair of wide-leg trousers is a classic that you can mix and match with plenty of other pieces. Channel your French girl chic with this lovely pair of trousers by Sézane.

Master the art of layering

Autumnal weather can bring some uncertainty when it comes to dressing from morning till evening, so layering could be your lifesaver. Knitwear is your best ally when creating interesting layered looks. You can wear this cool Homecore jumper over your shoulders for that extra bit of warmth (just in case), but it will also add a fun twist to your outfit.

Florals are not just for spring

Keep your outfits light and fresh by wearing prints that make you forget the cold. Florals are timeless and can adapt to every season, so they are easy to wear all through autumn. We love this blouse by Amsterdam-based brand Fabienne Chapot. They take pride in their original prints, all of which are designed by hand with the stroke of brush.

Embrace autumnal colours

Start embracing warm and earthy colours just in time for autumn. You can pair them with the lighter hues from your summer wardrobe for an easy transition into the new season. For example, mix earthy tones like rust, brown, olive green or burgundy with ecru or beige. These gorgeous leather loafers will look great with your neutral linens or even a pair of jeans.

Transition your summer staples

Don’t give up on your summer pieces just yet, especially dresses! Dresses are one of the most versatile pieces out there – sometimes all you need is to add an extra layer and a pair of season-appropriate shoes to create a brand-new look. This gorgeous Reformation dress looks great with a pair of loafers and a linen blazer. A sharp way to start the autumn.
