13 Autumn-Ready Outfits We Can't Stop Looking at This October

by Emma Spedding

As I type, we're entering the first week of October, and the weather finally feels like it's transitioning into autumn, which is reflected in the new-in sections that have been well and truly taken over by jackets, ankle boots and an autumnal colour palette. Even though we aren't really ready to say goodbye to bare legs or weekends in the park, we are ready to say hello to some of these new collections.

Autumn outfits can require quite a bit of planning. Coat or no coat? How many layers are too many layers? The below outfit ideas will see you through the transition into autumn. We find that this time of year when stock is switching over from linen dresses and sandals to knitwear and trench coats is the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what is missing from your autumn wardrobe before you start adding to it.

The below outfits include several classics that you'd typically expect from an autumn capsule, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions which feel really relevant this autumn. Think Mary Janes worn with ankle socks, '70s-style fringed suede jackets and pleated skirts that look amazing when worn with blazers. Keep scrolling to see and shop 13 of our favourite autumn outfits.

Style Notes: There's nothing easier to wear than a checked blazer thrown on over straight-leg jeans and a white T-shirt. Keep the look as A/W 2019 friendly as possible by adding a pair of ballet pumps.

Style Notes: Not ready to give up on your summer dress? Layer it over a pair of leather trousers. Provided it's not pouring, you can also get another wear out of your strappy sandals and match them with your favourite summer bag.
