There’s a sudden chill in the air, the leaves are starting to fall and the nights are drawing in; it’s officially Autumn. It’s time to pack up the flowing maxi dresses and sun hats for another year as we indulge on pumpkin spiced lattes and spend the month preparing our wardrobes for the annual seasonal changeover. With a new season comes a new wardrobe so we’ve been keeping our eye on the catwalks to share our top picks of how to stay on trend for AW19.
Tailoring
Structured tailoring was all over the catwalk last season and it looks like it’s here to stay. The perfectly fitted blazer can add a touch of sophistication to any outfit and is a wardrobe essential you’ll never tire of wearing.
Reiss Blazer RRP £295 Outlet £110
Phase Eight Trouser RRP £79 Outlet £39
This satin statement option from Reiss gives just the right amount of glam when paired with a simple black palazzo-pant and of course, a crisp white shirt. Wear it with minimal jewellery, loose tousled hair a nude lip and let the blazer do the talking. A wide leg tailored trouser will take you from the office to the bar – pair with a simple cream top and a statement gold earring for maximum style points.
Statement Knitwear
Practical doesn’t have to mean boring when it comes to this tickled pink Ted Baker jumper. With balloon sleeves and a crew neckline, it will be sure to add a bold injection of colour into your wardrobe while keeping you cosy throughout the winter months.
Ted Baker RRP £120 Outlet £78
A statement balloon sleeve was spotted all-over the catwalk paired with anything and everything. Try tucking this in with a pleated polka skirt and chunky boots or high-waisted mom jeans, a chunky dad-trainer and patterned sock for a touch of fun.
Phase Eight RRP £79 Outlet £55
Roman Outlet £28
Roman RRP £53 Outlet £35
A statement piece of knitwear will be the most-wanted wardrobe essential this season taking you from day to night seamlessly.
Gothic Glam
We all know what the festive season brings…last-minute events, and parties that seem to pop up all over and despite a wardrobe that’s bursting at the scenes, you’ve obviously got nothing to wear. We’ve all been there. Enter the reinvented LBD.
Reiss RRP £185 Outlet £70
Reiss RRP £225 Outlet £65

Rich, dark tones are always going to be an easy choice in Autumn/Winter but why not sway away from a classic fabric and try something a bit more unusual.

Add a smokey eye with a hint of shimmer and a glossy lip to nail that effortless look.
