I love the start of a new season! Each bringing new styles and trends to follow, new colour palettes to explore and new fabrics to suit the change in temperature.
Autumn is a beautiful time of the year, and a great excuse to add a few new pieces to update your wardrobe. Let’s take a look at a few key staples to invest in to see you through the coming months:

autumn wardrobe staples

Jeans

A pair of jeans is essential for the cooler months and an easy update for your wardrobe. Black skinny jeans are still a great staple to have. But if you’re looking for an everyday style then a pair of boyfriend jeans will see you through autumn, winter and even into the start of spring.

Boots

Find a wear-with-everything style in black or tan to suit your style. A chic pair of round-toe boots will instantly update your look.

Jacket

I’m a huge lover of the jacket! It’s such an easy and affordable way to transform your summer wardrobe. My pick would be to stick with denim, leather, classic trench coats or a waterfall coat. Neutral tones will be popular for the autumn and winter seasons and are an easy addition to your wardrobe.
