Autumn Wardrobe Guide

As you know, autumn brings changes to the way we dress. It is time to prepare for cooler days and layer your favourite pieces. Whether you work from home or meet clients, these tips will help you prepare for the season. Here are the pieces we think belong in an autumn wardrobe.

The trench coat: an autumn classic

Elegant, light and practical, the trench coat is an autumn classic. With its large pockets, cuff straps and wide belt, it is a good choice for cooler weather. It offers protection while bringing elegance to an outfit. Wear it over a suit or with jeans or chinos and a jumper.

The overcoat: an investment for winter

When temperatures fall, a quality coat matters. The right one can bring comfort and style for many seasons. A plain coat in brown, beige or grey is a classic choice. Checked patterns are also popular at present.

An autumn suit: warmth and style

If you wear a suit every day, consider one for autumn too. Autumn suits use heavier fabrics and often include a touch of cashmere for extra warmth. For colours and patterns, less is more: try a restrained herringbone or subtle check rather than very bright colours.

A blazer: a good choice between seasons

A blazer is a versatile piece you can wear from spring through autumn. There are many kinds, which is why our blog has several articles on this wardrobe staple.

How do you pair blazers with trousers and shirts for classic or more expressive looks? Read our blog article, Blazer: eight ways to style and wear it.. 

Remember colour harmony.

Cool shades work together, as do warm ones; the article advises against mixing them. Burgundy, brown and beige can be combined, while grey and blue work better with black. For example, wear a brown belt and carry a brown bag with brown shoes. With a burgundy suit, choose a tie in a similar shade. Socks should match the colour of your trousers. Pair colourful suits with plain shirts, and vice versa.

If you are unsure, remember that less is often more. Your clothes should feel comfortable and express your personality. Experiment with combinations while keeping your own sense of style. Fashion should be enjoyable: whether you are at a conference, at work or out for an autumn walk, you can look good and feel at ease. These tips can help you enjoy cooler days in comfort and style.

We hope these tips help you prepare for the coming autumn and meet it in style. 

Have a wonderful autumn, and keep following our blog for more tips, advice and seasonal inspiration!
