The must-have key pieces for autumn are those that are versatile for work or play. They should be easily combined and should enhance your best features. Here is my top must-have list to update your autumn wardrobe.
Leggings: Great for wearing with tops, shorter dresses, jackets, or knitwear. Leggings are also a great alternative to opaque tights.
The little black dress: Glamorous by night and smart by day, every woman should have a little black dress in her wardrobe. Black is not your colour? No problem! Choose a dress with a open neck and wear it with a necklace in a colour that is right for you. Alternatively go for a colour other than black — navy, pewter, or purple.
Ankle boots: Perfect with a mini skirt, a dress, or skinny jeans.
Mini skirt: Great for showing off gorgeous legs, especially with the help of opaque tights. Chose the length that will flatter you best, whether it is just above the knees or shorter.
Colourful tunic dress: Combine with boots or heels, a jacket, cape, or scarf, and jewellery to create many different looks with one basic piece.
Tailored trousers: Great for work, rest, or play and flattering on most figures. Pair them with pumps, an arty t-shirt, or a leather jacket and scarf for a relaxed look, or with medium heels, a shirt, and a waistcoat for work.
Boyfriend jacket: Roll the sleeves to just below the elbows and wear it with leggings, a statement necklace, and a shirt.
Leather jacket: This is a key piece that never dates. It is ideal for day or evening wear and it will suit most women. Look for a style that has clean and classic lines. Try a lighter weight leather with a white blouse and black pencil skirt or over a dress with ankle boots.
The cape: Chic and comfortable. Pair it with gloves and keep the bottom layer simple, such as a black pencil skirt or jeans.
Bold bangles and big necklaces: Great pieces to accent a top or dress up a simple dress. Big bangles or a big necklace means you need less jewellery overall.
Knitwear: There are many garments to choose from — dress, cardigan, or jumper. Knitwear is undoubtedly one of the must coveted items of the season because it is practical, easy to wear by day or by night, and it will keep you warm throughout the season.
