My favourite season is approaching as we say goodbye to "summer" (we barely had any sun here in the UK) and hello to autumn.
The best thing about autumn is that it never requires any real exact trend. It’s the perfect season to play with layers and bring back the essential pieces that are undoubtedly already in your wardrobe from last season, making you fall in love with fashion all over again.
In this post, you’ll find the key transitional pieces to fall for this autumn.
1. The Leather Jacket
The leather jacket is a timeless and versatile must-have piece that adds an instant edge to any outfit.
Not only does it add toughness to your autumn aesthetic but the functionality and durability is top-tier.
Find a good leather jacket, and you have a loyal companion for life!
Whether it’s a classic black biker jacket or a shearling aviator, the leather jacket will effortlessly elevate your autumn wardrobe.
Outfit suggestion: Layer your jacket over a knitted jumper or a cosy sweater with a mini skirt and black boots.
2. The Big Brown Bag
As soon as the Margaux bag went viral I knew it would spur on the trend of the chocolate suede bag.
And why not?
This luxurious accessory is making waves in the fashion world for several reasons:
Rich, autumnal colour: The deep chocolate naturally compliments the warm, earthy tones of autumnal fashion.
Versatile texture: Suede adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit, making it ideal for the transitional weather.
Timeless: Any style-savvy girly knows the smartest way to shop is to invest in pieces that never go out of style.
Suede bags have a classic quality that ensures they'll remain stylish for years to come.
But if splurging £4,000 on some arm candy that is always sold out wasn’t on your bingo card this season, there are even more beautiful and affordable alternatives to add to your wishlist like the Demeillier New York Tote.

2. The Knit
Let’s face it, it’s not ever really autumn without a collection of chunky, fine or both textures of knits close by for fresher mornings while doing the commute to work with a pumpkin spice latte.
Whether you love your knit chunky or fine, embrace the chillier weather with a piece that keeps you warm and at the same time, looks effortlessly stylish through this season.
Have fun with it by choosing earthy tones like rust, deep reds, olive greens and creams.
The oversized fit keeps you warm and gives all the touches of cosiness to your outfit.
For investment pieces, look for fabrics such as wool and cashmere.
3. The Wide-Leg Pant
Wide-leg pants are an essential addition to your wardrobe for creating a sophisticated and fashionable autumn ensemble.
The loose silhouette of wide-leg pants offers a perfect blend of style and comfort, allowing you to move with ease while looking effortlessly chic.
If like me, you find you’re too short for wide-leg, don't worry!
Your local tailor is your new best friend and can make all the difference.
Hire a tailor to alter your pants to the perfect length, ensuring that they flatter your figure and create a balanced silhouette.
You can usually find a good tailor in your local dry cleaning shop. By making this small investment, you can confidently embrace the look of wide-leg pants without worrying about them dwarfing your frame.
4. The Blazer
We can't talk about transitional pieces without the most transitional piece of clothing between summer and autumn without mentioning the blazer.
The blazer is the perfect item for going from warm to slightly chilly without having to wear a huge coat and becoming too hot.
When choosing a blazer, look for a plaid pattern or a versatile neutral colour. Pair your blazer with your favourite boyfriend jeans, layered jewellery, and a structured bag to accessorise.
5. The Black Boot

I love autumn for so many reasons but one of the biggest reasons is for the return of the black boot.
There’s something about a black boot that adds power to an outfit and a sense of sleekness that other shoes cannot do. It gives ‘don’t play with me’ vibes and I’m totally here for it.
On the practical side, black boots are ideal for navigating through the falling leaves and puddles that come with the season.
But if you’re not into boots but still want the chicness of a power shoe, go for a patent loafer, maybe one with some detailing.
Pair them effortlessly with your favourite rolled-up jeans for a laid-back look. Add a cosy cardigan to complete your look and stay warm and in style throughout the season.
