13 Easy Outfits We're Wearing on Rotation This Autumn
There's no denying that autumn is on the way, so we thought it might be useful to bring these outfits to your attention. With ensembles this strong, we'll be applying these autumn dressing principles to see us through the cooler temps we'll inevitably experience over the next few months.
Autumn days can require quite a bit of outfit planning. Jacket or no jacket? How many layers are too many layers? Although it might seem pessimistic, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what you'll wear when the weather truly turns.
The below outfits include several classics that you'd typically expect from a British capsule wardrobe, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions that feel really relevant for the season ahead. Think any-terrain boots worn with puff-sleeve dresses, '70s-style fringed suede jackets, and pleated skirts that look amazing when worn with blazers.
Keep scrolling to see and shop 14 of our favourite autumn outfits to inspire your wares for the foreseeable.

The trousers no one will believe came from the high street.

@champagnemaniStyle Notes: We love how this suede midi skirt looks with a pair of chunky boots—an outfit you can easily copy and paste for outdoor pursuits.
Suede feels so luxurious with a fluffy knit.
3. Tank Top + Jeans + Bomber Jacket

@francescacarolinaStyle Notes: While a tank top and jeans might be a simple summer go-to, the addition of an on-trend bomber jacket instantly makes this outfit autumn 2023-worthy.
Another hot-ticket item from Mango that influencers can't get enough of.
If you're in the market for premium jersey.
These throwback-style jeans come in an array of sizes.
4. Jacket + Skirt + Socks + Flats

@oliviamarcusStyle Notes: Ballet flats are having a resurgence this season, but, let's face it, they're not the warmest footwear option on the market. Get savvy like Olivia and style yours with socks for a cute preppy look.
We always rate Frankie Shop blazers.
This would look great with black boots.
The ballet flats every editor wants to own.
5. Cardigan + Jeans

@lenafarlStyle Notes: A cardigan is a great option for cooler days where you just don't know what to wear. Style it with jeans and ankle boots for a look you can rely on for casual work settings and low-key weekends.
There's no faster way to brighten an ensemble with a jolt of yellow.
6. Midi Dress + Flat Ankle Boots

@styleidealistStyle Notes: Breathe new life into your summer dresses by adding on-trend cowboy boots. Great for those pesky downpours.
No need to size up—this is already incredibly oversized.
Proof checkerboard motifs are still going strong.
7. Blazer + Jeans + Trainers

Photo:
@frannfyneStyle Notes: There's nothing as simply chic as a blazer thrown on over straight-leg jeans and a white T-shirt. Pair with trainers.
A collarless jacket might seem like a subtle change from single breasted, but it'll completely change the mood of your outfits.
8. White Top + Baggy Trousers

Photo:
@lucywilliams02Style Notes: We're very into barrel-leg trousers right now. Opt for a khaki pair like Lucy Williams's, and throw on a long-sleeve shirred top for a cool take on a Gen Z trend.
This shade of green goes with just about every colour. Orange? Yep. Pink? Uh-huh. Blue? You know it...
9. Suede Jacket + Midi Dress

Photo:
MonikhStyle Notes: Wear the printed midi dresses you've lived in all summer with a suede jacket with '70s fringing.
This cropped version will look great styled with high-waist trousers and jeans.
This minimal take on floral prints is easy to carry with you into autumn.
10. Statement Trench + Jeans

Photo:
@_jeanettemadsen_Style Notes: Statement trench coats have been big news for several seasons, and they always trace back to this JW Anderson beauty. Pair one similar with a T-shirt, jeans and ankle boots.
Checks give the staple trench a new lease of life.
These have just the right amount of stretch in them to make them comfortable for all-day wear.
11. Pleated Skirt + Shacket

Photo:
BrittanybathgateStyle Notes: One of our favourite trends is pleated skirts, which look amazing styled with either a blazer or a shacket.
12. Knit Dress + Leather Jacket

Photo:
@sylviemus_Style Notes: Knitted dresses and skirts are always a key buy, and we love how Sylvie Mus pairs her ivory ribbed knit with an oversized leather jacket and black mules.
Avoid faux leather with overly shiny finishes if you want them to look like the real deal.
H&M has some of the best knitted dresses on the high street this season.
13. Vinyl Coat + Co-Ord

Photo:
@imanleilaStyle Notes: Give your lightweight co-ords some reinforcement with vinyl outerwear, which will also help shield you from any downpours that happen during the season.
Layer a hoodie underneath for a cool, London girl-vibe.
Every outfit can be improved with a pair of Jimmy Choos.
