Slide Nr 2THE TOP: Reformation Thatcher Top – The sheer look can be tough to pull off, but this top makes it a cinch. Cut from ultra-lightweight georgette, it features a slim collar and bell sleeves that lend all that transparency a breezy, retro feel. The violet shade taps into the season’s growing trend for aubergine and plum – rich hues that go surprisingly well with navy, grey, denim or cream. Wear it with the matching cropped trousers for a bold head-to-toe effect, or layer it over a tonal tank top and tailored trousers for something more understated.

Slide Nr 3THE BOTTOM: Steve Madden Paisley Jeans – Colder months signal a turn towards woven textiles, with rich textures and moody patterns leading the way this season. These Steve Madden jeans translate that mood into a wearable cut featuring an intricate teal paisley that reads vintage and modern all at once. The print is strong enough to carry the outfit, making these trousers a great focal point for classic wardrobe staples. Pair them with a cream knit jumper or a fitted black top to let the pattern take centre stage, or style them with their matching jacket for a maximalist ensemble.

Slide Nr 4THE DRESS: Mango Checked Dress – Checks return every autumn, and for good reason: with their echoes of traditional tartan, they’re especially at home in the rich browns, greens and greys that define the seasonal wardrobe. This long-sleeved Mango dress gives the familiar print a polished update that you’ll wear beyond a single season. Start early in the season by pairing it with loafers and minimal accessories, then add knee-high boots and a blazer as temperatures drop. For a sharper silhouette, cinch the waist with a slim belt.

Slide Nr 5THE LAYER: Aligne Denim Zip Jacket – Speaking of silhouettes: Aligne’s Tilly jacket steps away from the oversized shapes of recent seasons and sits closer to the body, appearing more put together while maintaining the versatility that makes denim so appealing. Plus, the indigo shade is a more seasonal choice than summer’s lighter wash. Wear it over a crisp button-down shirt and trousers for the office, or layer it over a fluid maxi dress for a softer weekend aesthetic.

Slide Nr 6THE OUTERWEAR: Good American Heritage Jacket – A plaid barn jacket may be the easiest way to step into the equestrian trend without going all in on the stable look. This Good American Heritage jacket, made from 100% cotton, keeps things simple with a black-and-white check print and corduroy trim that nod to riding heritage yet fit right into any urban setting. Combine it with dark denim, knee-high boots and heavier knitwear when the cold really sets in.

Slide Nr 7THE SHOES: Dolce Vita Suede Loafers – These Baxen loafers by Dolce Vita straddle the line between two of autumn’s biggest shoe trends: the chestnut suede upper carries that rich, seasonal texture everyone’s after this season, while the slightly pointed toe and ruched front imbue it with the more feminine quality that’s replacing last year’s stiffer shapes. Pair them with ankle-length barrel jeans or cropped trousers to highlight the details, and add your favourite knitwear for an outfit that looks and feels cosy and warm.

Slide Nr 8THE BAG: Sans Beast Backpack – A good work bag has to check at least three boxes: it must have adequate space, be comfortable to carry, and play nice with the rest of your wardrobe. This Sans Beast XL Universo backpack, made from pebbled vegan leather in a warm hickory tone, features padded straps that make daily commutes gentler on your shoulders. Inside, there’s room for a laptop and your usual tote essentials, with gold hardware and a structured silhouette for a more meeting-ready effect than slouchier styles.

Slide Nr 9THE ACCESSORY: Merlette Vesper Belt – Whether it’s in necklaces, shoes, bags or belts, tassels are one of this year’s top defining details, and this belt by Merlette shows why. Melding movement with precision, it shifts from bohemian to sophisticated and tactile, which adds an extra dimension. Cinch it over an oversized camel coat or a crisp poplin dress to introduce architectural structure and effortless elegance.

Slide Nr 10THE JEWELLERY: Hunting Season Pendant Necklace – Pendant necklaces keep earning their place in every fall lineup; in fact, the right piece can carry an entire ensemble on its own. This one from Hunting Season stands out for its slim leather cord holding a smooth tagua circle pendant – hand-carved so that no two are ever the same. The natural material takes on a warm, honey-toned variation that reads far more artisanal than anything made on a product line. Style it with a classic white tee for a subtle twist, or drape it over an open-neck knit for the evening to add a personal touch.

Slide Nr 11THE SCENT: Ellis Brooklyn Queens Caramel – When the first properly cold day arrives, this is the scent to spritz under a scarf. Queens Caramel opens to caramel and maple sugar notes, with just enough pink salt to prevent an overly sweet aroma. As it settles, whipped coconut, white chocolate and jasmine give way to vanilla bourbon, amber woods and milky musk. In short, it captures all the best fragrances of autumn in a perfectly dosed blend.

Slide Nr 12THE HOME ACCENT: Ezcaray Throw – Somehow, this season in particular calls for decorative pieces that feel inherited rather than bought. Enter: this Matisse throw by Ezcaray. Steeped in the deep colours of a boreal forest, it’s washed, brushed, dyed and woven entirely by hand, by artisans who’ve been perfecting the craft since 1930. It’s perfect for throwing over an armchair or snuggling up in with a good book; reach for this matching scarf if you’d like to carry your home’s autumnal air wherever you go.

Slide Nr 13THE BEAUTY BASIC: Merit Tinted Lip Oil – The ultimate final touch to any look often comes from the smallest item in your bag. Merit’s Shade Slick tinted lip oil in taupe gets the job done with a warm rosewood colour that reads autumn, no matter what you wear. Nourishing jojoba oil and shea butter keep lips soft underneath the tint, so the formula does double duty as both colour and care. And because the shade stays close to your natural lip tone, it pairs seamlessly with every piece in this edit – as well as anything already hanging in your closet.
