With the changing of the season, it’s an ideal time to reassess your wardrobe, rethink your style and identify those hard-working wardrobe staples.
These are the well-chosen pieces that instantly become your go-to favourites; it may be a fashion favourite that updates your style or an elevated basic that introduces a new shape or texture. Most of all, a great wardrobe staple delivers timeless style, versatility and a confidence boost.
Layering up
Autumn is a busy time, gone are those languid sunny days and long evenings. We’re on the move again, so layer dressing really comes into its own during this season. We’re looking for those effortless pieces that work for our lifestyle and weather.
This gilet is one such piece. Add knitwear to stay cosy if you’re out and about and enjoy the ease of a relaxed fit piece when you’re in and out of a car. It also has an oversized hood to keep you dry and big pockets so you can leave your handbag at home and have your hands free.

Lady in red
Amidst the perennial appeal of black at this time of year, there’s a colour that stands out (in every sense). You’ve seen it; you’ve been drawn to it. Yes, the colour trend of the year is – red!
No matter what shade you choose, be it a cheery pop of tomato red or a luxurious, rich burgundy tone, red offers vibrancy, attention and is dopamine dressing at its best.
Depending on your mood, opt for a head-turning red dress or introduce the colour in a more subtle way with a well-chosen accessory.

A classic coat
This season, the trench coat is very much at centre stage. It’s a capsule classic that never dates and its key quality is versatility.
Whether you’re opting for casual chic by wearing it over your favourite jeans and knit or indeed downplaying the glamour of a satin slip dress, the trench coat perfectly balances trend and timeless dressing.

No matter what the season, a great white shirt is always a stylish option. It’s the ideal piece to wear to suit your mood. Add a sophisticated pair of black trousers to create a classy look, wear it loose and casual with your favourite jeans, or add statement jewellery and a blazer for an edgier style. This oversized shirt makes a statement in itself. An easy to wear piece that’s high on style and low on maintenance.
