Once October rolls around, we can all agree that Autumn is well and truly here: temperatures drop, days get shorter and rain starts to fill our daily lives. It’s the perfect time to play with new looks and change the colour palette and the texture of your clothes to look for warmth and romanticism. Do you want to know which are the must-haves this month? Our Personal Shoppers have put together a compilation of the top ten October looks for a stylish transition into cold weather style.
Shorts in October, why not?
If you don’t want to say goodbye to shorts yet, you don’t have to! This season, give your shorts an autumnal twist by wearing them with a pair of high boots, a blouse and a coat or blazer. Give your shorts a second lease of life!
Brighten up rainy days: wear a dash of yellow
Grey days needn’t be any more: brighten them up with a shot of yellow! Mix it with other colours to bring light to your face… and your day! Our suggestion? Combine yellow garments with a red and white Breton top, a pair of khaki trousers and some trainers, and enjoy the rain!
Add romanticism to your looks with a long dress
Long dresses are perfect if you are looking for simple, but stylish garments. This Autumn, if you’re looking for an office look, choose a long-sleeved dress worn with loafers and a shopper bag. Fancy a more casual take? Just wear your dress with a knitted cardigan and your favourite boots for a cosy, romantic look!
Check this out: a plaid blazer worn with leggings
If you’re a fan of eclectic mixes and you love to wear formal items with other traditionally casual ones, this is your look for October. Get yourself a plaid blazer (trust us, you’ll see – it will become a key piece in your wardrobe!) and wear it with a pair of thick black leggings and your favourite trainers. A very trendy look to show off your style without sacrificing any comfort!
An everyday look everyone will want to copy
Looking for comfortable but stylish clothes to wear every day? Find a three-quarter length coat, a cardigan, a pair of mom fit jeans and a pair of trainers. If you want to add a stylish twist, you can play with colour: a shade of moss green or russet for your cardigan, and as many colours as you fancy on your trainers! This might seem like a basic combination, but we promise it’s one that won’t leave anyone indifferent.
Trust the versatility of a white shirt
The white shirt is a must-have in any wardrobe. It’s a versatile garment that you can wear every day of the year. This Autumn, wear this wardrobe staple with a pair of flattering skinny jeans, a check coat and a suede bag. A timeless look that shows just how your wardrobe basics will always help you get it right.
A printed blouse for a winning look
If a white shirt won’t cut it on those days you want to add colour to your wardrobe, you should know that this season, prints are back in fashion. Wear your favourite print with other plain garments, such as a pair of black skinny jeans, a blazer in the same colour and leather-effect ankle boots. Let the print take centre stage!
Seek warmth in your outfits with a myriad of Autumn colours
Autumn is dressed in shades of beige and terracotta. These two colours suit most of us and have, over time, become synonymous with this time of year. A knitted cardigan, a white t-shirt and a trench coat may seem like a bland combination at first sight but, if you add a pair of checked trousers to the equation, you’ll see this classic mid-season ensemble packs a punch!
Wear a suit and trainers for this month’s office look
If you still haven’t tried a total tailored look, now is the time! A suit jacket and trousers will give you lots of options when it comes to creating outfits, as you can wear them both together and separately. The total tailored look is bang on trend, so our advice is to choose wisely and get a suit in a neutral colour, such as black, white or grey, to make the most of it. Wear it with a pair of leather ballerinas or trainers, to match your mood and the style you’re looking for!
We are falling in love again with romantic blouses
This Summer, romantic blouses came with us to work and play! We can predict that, this Winter, they will still be very trendy, and that you will find many ways to wear them differently. How? Mix and match your favourite romantic blouses with other wardrobe staples such as jeans, ankle boots, or biker jackets. Find your favourite look and add a romantic touch to fall in love again with Autumn days.
We hope these looks have inspired you for a stylish Autumn! If you need any pieces to build your favourite outfit from this post, complete your Fashion Profile and let your Personal Shopper surprise you!
