Wardrobe Essentials for Autumn

Classic taken to the next level

We all know there are some essential items every wardrobe has to have, however it is just as important to put your personal style to these classics. Follow our guide and you will look elegantly classic with a contemporary twist.

Autumn is the perfect time to dress in layers and by sticking to neutral colours this will carry you over this trans-seasonal time. Creams, whites and naturals don’t look too heavy on a warmer sunny day paired with grey, navy or black will give you a cooler weather edge.

WHITE SHIRT

Don’t go to sleep…Yes a white shirt is always on the essential wardrobe list, but it doesn’t have to be boring. This classic piece is simple, chic and ageless. This autumn classic staple is up there with the must have pieces of the season.

You can choose from fitted, loose & slouchy with or without collar, wear half tucked over jeans or skinny pants, tucked into a longer flirty skirt, layered under a sweater or go classic and pair it with your favourite blazer

Little Black dress to the asymmetric dress or Jumpsuit

The LBD will always have a place in your wardrobe, but if you feel like mixing it up this year why not try one of these options to give you a fresh look. All looks can be worn now with a strappy shoe or later with jacket.

Blazer to Sleeveless jacket

This trans-seasonal piece in black, navy, camel, grey or winter white is the perfect replacement for your jacket or blazer.

On warmer days it can be worn with bare arms, skirt, tank and flat sandals and in winter toss it over a shirt or sweater with skinny pants or jeans, add a heal and you are good to go. Wear it undone and slouchy for a more casual chick look.

Dress Pants to Wide leg Pants

Wide leg slouchy pants in navy or black are at ease in the office or out to dinner.

You can have high waisted, flat front, tie front, extra-long or cropped, after years of skinny pants this is a fresh new pant look. Pare with a striped tee, a trench, a white shirt, a wedge, white sneaker or jewelled sandals. A pointy pump looks tres chic with a cropped pair. Feminine, classic and on trend.

Pencil to wrap, leather or pleated and trumpet

Update your pencil skirt with an edgier wrap skirt, wear now with a tank and a sandal or later with your white shirt and long boots.

Soft leather skirt where now with a great tee and later with a knit or jacket

Longer pleated & trumpet skirts can be worn now with a boxy tee and jewelled sandals or wedges and later with a favourite knit belted or jacket and boots

Trench to a wrap coat

A trench is a must have in any wardrobe, male or female, if you have already invested in this piece and would like to give it a mini break this winter a wrap coat is a great alternative.

Cashmere jumper to cape

Great piece for now and later. Can be worn now with a tank and cropped pants and later with knit or long sleeve tee and jeans or skinny pants, an easy piece to throw on over everything.

Tracksuit to Sport Luxe

There is no excuse if you are still pulling out those old faded stretch trackie pants. The old faithful has come out of the gym (or off the couch) and into a league of their own. We could dedicate a whole blog to this part of the wardrobe alone, however today we focus on casual wear for those days you just want to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Harem style pants can be worn now rolled up with a tank and later with your favourite sweater or hoodie.

Great easy throw on dress for now, for cooler autumn days throw a long line cardigan over the top.
