Stock up on classic jacket styles like the aviator, for an edgier look that's perfect for nights out, a classic well-fitting blazer, with a touch of metal hardware for the buttons, to add some sophistication, and a coat in a rich and bold colour such as maroon or camel.
Boots are also a must-wear. Be it ankle, Chelsea or knee-high styles, these can all be paired with dresses, skirts and jeans for both day and night looks.
Believe it or not, your summer dresses most certainly have their place in autumn and winter wardrobes. While the temperatures may have dropped, this is where your on-trend layers come into play.
There are so many styles and lengths that work for the season. Whether you’re looking for something casual or a little more glamorous, your go-tos should include midi dresses, maxi dresses, knitted numbers and even short dresses paired with tights.
Autumnal midi dresses are essential in your seasonal capsule wardrobe. Not only is the mid-calf length ideal for taking you from a day at the office to a fabulous evening with friends, but it's also going to keep you warm.
There's no shortage of choice but, in autumn, you should be looking out for long-sleeved midi dresses in knitted or printed styles as these work for both casual and more formal occasions.
An easy way to look effortlessly chic is by pairing a neutral-coloured knitted midi dress with a chunky belt and a short aviator jacket to cinch you in at your waist. Complete the look with a pair of sleek heeled ankle boots and you're good to go.
Alternatively, a long-sleeved midi dress in a shirt cut, like the Swinley Forest Fauna Midi Dress, is perfect for transitional wear, on or off-duty. Available in two lengths, the styling options are endless when it comes to this floral number. We suggest layering with a jumper and white trainers on casual days and a long straight coat in a block colour like grey or black, with heeled ankle boots and accessories, when out and about.
If you're unsure where to start with this floor-length style, don't panic as there's a silhouette to suit everyone. If you're shorter, you can sort out your hemlines by wearing heels to dinners, dates and autumn weddings.
