I’ve been reluctant to admit it for as long as possible but it’s time to accept, autumn is on the horizon. While the change in weather may not be welcome however, one thing I am excited to sink my teeth into, is the arrival of autumn winter fashion. After all, a new season means new trends, new styles and new items to get your hands on all which are sure to re-invigorate your wardrobe and make it feel fresh and exciting once again.
A great way to get your wardrobe ready for the new season is to invest in key pieces early, pieces that will fit seamlessly into your current wardrobe as well as transitioning smoothly into the new season too.

1. The trench coat
Massimo Dutti Cotton Trench Coat with Scarf
Wrap style jackets and knits were all over the AW24 catwalks, so this trench taps into that trend.
2. The co-ord
A great co-ord should be a staple in any wardrobe and this dark denim duo from COS is a chic choice.
3. The Ballet Flats
Mango Mesh ballet flats with strap and buckle
I say this list is for AW24 however we never can be sure what the weather will do here in the UK. These woven ballet flats are ideal for humid days and cloud cover alike.
4. The top
M&S Cotton Rich Off The Shoulder Top
I’ve already purchased this top myself as I can already picture getting so much wear out of it through autumn winter. A staple that’ll look great worn with jeans, satin skirts and tailored trousers alike.
5. The jewellery
Next Gold Tone Mismatch Flower Drop Earrings
I cannot believe these earrings are only £15, they look so expensive. Perfect for wearing year round, pair them with summer dresses now and chic tailoring come autumn.
6. The Blazer
Aligne Daphne Scoop Long Waisted Blazer
After the success of the butter yellow version, ALIGNE have brought back their chic round neck blazer in a chocolate brown tone and it’s just perfection.

Animal print, and leopard in particular, is going to be huge for AW24 so pick up this slip skirt early to be ahead of the trend.
8. The bag
Whether you’re in need of a new work bag or simply a roomy style for everyday, this suede shoulder style from Arket is a great option.
9. The dress
& Other Stories Striped Midi Dress
One of my favourite things to wear when it’s starting to get cooler is an easy to throw on knit dress. This style from & Other Stories feels extra special thanks to the stripe print and tie detail.
10. The boots
Topshop Tara premium leather knee high heeled boots
Every great autumn winter wardrobe needs a hardworking pair of boots. I love this knee length style from Topshop which not only look great but will be super comfortable thanks to the mini heel.
