Spin a yarn

Don't judge us: we're hyped for knitwear season. There's nothing we love more than pulling on a great knit that's stylish, cosy and easy to wear. Camel continues to be a key player season after season, so why not invest in this sophisticated bouclé co-ord? Wear it with black buckled flats as an edgier alternative to classic ballet pumps, and a pair of knee-high boots for evenings out. Alternatively, style the crew-neck asymmetric top and midaxi skirt as separates with your favourite go-to jeans, boxy T-shirts and trainers for weekend plans. A sleek leather bag completes the look.

Terms of adornment

Tailored suiting is still on the style radar for autumn, so wear your blazer oversized and team with wide-leg trousers for a newer, slouchier version of the iconic power suit. Give it an updated feel by wearing sculptural earrings accentuated by a neat hairstyle: the fashion crowd can't get enough of slicked-back hair for making an impact. And trust us, a limited colour palette makes it easy to summon a put-together outfit on Monday mornings. Layer with an oversized overcoat for added interest once the mercury drops: think wool or cashmere tweed for a quietly luxurious finish.
