Emily Johnston from Fashion Foie Gras shares her new-season wardrobe favourites, from the plaid trucker jacket to a wear-anywhere midi dress
Pleats, please
As the heatwave begins to feel like a distant memory, it’s time to start looking forward to cosy knits and statement jackets for autumn. It’s my favourite time of year, when the leaves start to fall and the air is filled with the smell of freshly-lit fireplaces signalling the cold weather ahead.
For the first drop of autumn, I’ve selected a few pieces that will take you through the trans-seasonal period. Tell me you aren’t instantly eyeing up this skirt? I’ve let it do all the talking in this outfit. I will wear endlessly throughout autumn and winter mixed with a classic cashmere knit and a coat. I think this is my favourite look of the bunch.”
Grab this jacket now. You will wear it endlessly, as part of double-denim outfits or paired with fashionable plaid as you see here. It’s all about texture mixing when it comes to autumn. Use denim to dress things down for any occasion.
Come September, I’m on the lookout for a dress that can be worn with bare legs for surprise heatwaves and with boots once the sun disappears. I absolutely adore this dress and am wearing it early in the season with this fab statement necklace to give it a colour pop.
