We don’t know about you, but even though it’s August, we’re already thinking ahead to autumn and all the outfit potential that comes with the change in season. But autumn outfit ideas can be difficult to assemble. One minute we’re too hot, and the next it’s pouring rain and we’re definitely feeling like winter has arrived. So what’s a girl to do? A girl is to look right here, right now, at this lineup of clever outfit ideas.
Thankfully, there are savvy dressers out there nailing the “in between seasons” thing quite nicely, and inspiring us to do the same. One thing they all excel at? Managing to walk the tightrope where one foot is still clinging onto sunshine-friendly favourites and the other is stepping well and truly into the new, whilst tapping into the upcoming season’s biggest trends.
Scroll on to see the autumn outfit ideas our favourite fashion types are already wearing, then shop the key items you need to create their impressive looks for yourself.
Style Notes: Belted jackets are an autumn style saviour—cinch them in and they’ll keep the heat in. Finish with skinny-fit jeans tucked into rubberised boots.
Style Notes: If you invested in a shacket last winter, you’ll be pleased to hear they’re making a return for autumn 2021, too. Until the temperatures drop, wear them with lace-up boots and shorts.
Style Notes: A bright knit is all you need to pep up the jeans you wear year-round and transition them into autumn. That, and your favourite relaxed-fit coat.
Style Notes: Printed long-sleeve tops are the way to go in autumn, for obvious toasty reasons. Tucked into wide-leg trousers, they feel so polished.
Style Notes: Carry your pretty printed dresses into the autumn months by layering a traditional knit over the top.
Style Notes: While this look can be re-created with just about any jumper and tailored trouser pairing, we love how Grece has matched hers together perfectly.
Style Notes: Autumn is the ideal time to integrate leather separates into your wardrobe once more. For drinks or dinner, opt for a leather skirt worn with a classic camel knit and simple heels.
Style Notes: Knitted co-ords have been given a glossover for autumn; you certainly won’t mind answering the door, nipping to the shops, or grabbing brunch in this Mango two-piece.
Style Notes: If there anything more comforting to wear in autumn than a cosy cardigan? Make it an embroidered one tucked into ecru jeans and it’ll be stylish at that.
Style Notes: Synonymous with summer, ensure your collection of puff-sleeve dresses look the autumnal part by pairing them with chunky flat boots.
Style Notes: Knitted vests are still all the rage right now—layer yours over a simple, thin roll neck knit for a look you’ll wear consistently for the next six months.
Style Notes: Jumper dresses are an excellent piece to have on rotation in the autumn months, as they afford an elevated way to wear knitwear top-to-toe. Style yours with a waist belt for added polish.
