Just because the cooler weather is on the way doesn’t mean you can’t look hot (and stay warm while doing so). So what should you be adding to your basket for the upcoming season? Feast your eyes on these essential wardrobe staples you should definitely treat yourself to:
A fringed jacket
70s trend? Check. Suede? Check. Goes with anything? Check. If you don’t already shop at Blue Vanilla now is a good time to start, as their Lyanna Fringed Suedette Jacket ticks every Autumn/Winter trend going. Pair yours with skinny jeans, a lightweight cami and heels for instant style points or swap the jeans for a fitted black dress and heels for Friday night drinks. A denim dress
Denim never goes away and while we don’t encourage dressing head to toe in the versatile material a denim dress for Autumn is perfect when worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots for Saturdays spent shopping or an impromptu walk around your local park. New Look’s Anita and Green shirt dress fits the bill perfectly.
- A baseball dress shirt
New Look have ticked off another hot trend and graces the pick list with their Burgundy City of NY baseball tee. The relaxed fit looks amazing with your favourite ripped skinny jeans and casual trainers, perfect for relaxing round your mate’s house on a Saturday night with a takeaway pizza.
- A cold shoulder top
This trend seemingly came from nowhere (although it was more than likely born from the 70s Bardot styles that are currently making the rounds), dominating the high street and continuing in popularity through Autumn. It’s great for the office, when you’re looking for that perfect mix of lightweight cover up, with a cheeky twist. This River Island shell top is a hot pick for the season and should definitely be gracing your wardrobe this season and looks great paired with a leather look pencil skirt or straight leg trousers for true Autumn office chic.
- A tribute to Taylor Swift
Taylor is so hot right now and this Dom and Ink collection top from online store Rock on Ruby is the perfect addition to your Autumn wardrobe. This tee is best when worn while listening to Taylor with headphones while ordering a chai latte from the coffee vendor.
- A pinafore
One of the hottest picks on this list has to be Topshop’s MOTO midi pinafore dress which looks best when worn over a high neck tee and finished off with chunky sandals. It’s the perfect way of channeling 90s grunge this Autumn/Winter and works in both an office and weekend scenarios.
- A patchwork skirt
Another nod to the 70s trend, your wardrobe needs a patchwork skirt for the upcoming Autumn weather and it will look amazing with that suedette jacket and Dom and Ink tee you already have. Knee high boots are the only way to finish off such a look – and are a great way of ensuring you stay toasty when you leave the house! This ASOS Denim patchwork A-Line Mini skirt should do the trick.
