Can we all agree that autumn is the best season for fashion? It’s not yet cold enough to hide your outfit under a giant coat, but it’s cool enough to experiment with textures and layering.
However, like all transitional seasons, it can be tricky to know exactly what to wear. So, if you’re in need of some autumn outfit inspiration, this guide will provide you with all the ideas you need…
Leopard print
The best thing about leopard print is that it works all year round. It has had a major moment this summer, but just because the temperature is cooling doesn’t mean you need to relegate it to the back of your closet until next year. You got a leopard print dress you’ve worn to death this summer? Simply layer over a chunky knit in any shade of brown and you’re good to go for fall.

Pop of burgundy
There’s no doubt about it, burgundy is the go-to colour this season. Its deep, warm tone is versatile enough to complement almost any outfit making it the perfect choice if you want to add a pop of colour to your look. If you prefer a subtler approach, opt for burgundy accessories. A scarf, handbag, or cap in this hue can instantly brighten up neutral tones.

Head-to-toe brown
Name a more autumnal-looking outfit than head-to-toe brown. Monochromatic looks may seem boring but as Kenza proves, layering shades of brown is anything but. To make the outfit even more interesting try incorporating different textures like suede, leather, or knitwear in brown to add dimension.

Preppy
Autumn is the season to embrace the preppy aesthetic. It is a timeless choice that fits perfectly with the cosy and layered nature of autumn fashion. Think tailored blazers in rich, earthy tones like camel, burgundy, and forest green, paired with crisp button-down shirts or cosy cashmere sweaters. Plaid skirts are also a must for this aesthetic and in terms of accessories – leather loafers, argyle socks, and structured tote bags.

Oversized blazer
If you haven’t invested in an oversized blazer by now, add it to the top of your to-do list! Blazers are as versatile as they come and are a wardrobe necessity all year round. But in autumn, the relaxed silhouette is perfect for layering. Whether layering over a basic tee and jeans or a chunky knit sweater, this is an autumnal look that will never go out of style.

Trench coat and jeans
Trench coats are one of my must-have items for a transitional wardrobe. Its mid-weight feel makes it perfect for cool mornings and mild afternoons that are so typical for the autumn season. Pairing your trench with a classic pair of jeans in particular is a timeless outfit that is best suited to autumn.
