We may still be enjoying late summer, but with autumnal looks delivering new-season inspiration, we’re starting the style switch-up with chic transitional pieces, from a sumptuous silky midi to a cool denim trench and more…
SILK ROAD
Move over, florals – the newest midi frocks are in beautiful block colours and made of sumptuously silky fabrics. We adore the spicy ochre colour of this dress, which is utterly of the moment – it’s the new neutral for autumn. Turn lavish-looking fabrics into daywear by pairing them with a structured trench – you’ll be autumn-ready in an instant!

KICK-START
If it’s comfort-first staples you’re craving, a fresh pair of trainers is your fast track to cutting-edge cool, and you simply can’t go wrong with New Balance (our fashion editor’s go-to brand). Think of these à la carte sneakers as less ‘running’, more ‘runway’ – the perfect mix of sporty and smart.
TOTAL JEAN-IUS
This season, roomy and relaxed jeans are here to break us away from the slimmer cuts we’ve all got used to. They look effortlessly cool when teamed with a Breton knit and chunky black sandals. Stick to your favourite denim wash and they’ll soon be your dress-down hero.
ANIMAL MAGIC
Evocative of both Hollywood glamour and a rebellious punk spirit, leopard is the print that really deserves a place in every wardrobe. Want to give your summer dress an autumnal spin? Simply slip on a conker-coloured leather belt.
JUMP TO IT
Meet the ultimate in modern relaxed dressing: the utility jumpsuit. Keep it in year-round rotation by adding layers. A fine-knit rollneck works beautifully underneath in cooler months, while a simple tee or ruffle-trim shirt
