Your bag is empty
At some point, if it’s not already happened, you’re going to feel a chill in the air as the last rays of the summer sun disappear, making way for altogether cooler days and nights. But have you got the right gear to move into autumn? If you’re looking in your wardrobe and feeling dubious, take that as a sign to expand your accessories collection.
What do you need to move into autumn in style? Five things: Chelsea boots, a functional backpack, a graphic scarf, chunky trainers and tough jewellery. And guess what… we’ve got them all.
When you’re listing out closet classics by season, the most important piece of autumn footwear is doubtless the Chelsea boot. A timeless style, invest in earthy shades for a more modern twist – think brown, green or grey.
We’ve been telling you that backpacks are big news for months. So if you haven’t already got yours, this is your last warning. Just do it. Now.
Checked scarves (see what we did there) are having their moment in the autumn sun, along with any other style that is stamped with logos, slogans and graphics. Skip on anything subtle, and make sure you invest in quality wool for something that will last.
Arguably the biggest comeback in recent years, the chunky sneaker has snuck back on the sartorial scene and, to be honest, we couldn’t be happier. After all, they’re comfortable, practical and can be worn with most of your wardrobe. Take your pick from the likes of Gucci, Balenciaga and Vetements.
A single cuff or bracelet is a discreet way of showcasing your style credentials. Darker skin tones should opt for gold, but fair-skinned gents will do best with silver tones. It’s a great way to try something new without feeling like a fashion victim.
