Autumn is here, and with it comes the exciting opportunity to refresh your wardrobe. The change in weather can make outfit planning tricky – one minute it’s warm, the next you’re caught in a sudden downpour. The key is to balance comfort, warmth, and style with versatile pieces that work for all conditions. To help, I’ve gathered seven easy outfit ideas that strike the perfect balance between practicality and fashion.

These looks blend transitional favourites with some trendy pieces, so you can step into the new season with confidence:

1. Midaxi Skirt + Blazer + Pointed Toe Shoes

A midaxi skirt is a great autumn staple, offering just the right amount of coverage. Paired with a tailored blazer, it creates a chic, polished look suitable for both work and weekends. Pointed toe shoes add a refined touch,and can be a great opportunity to add a splash of colour. Alternatively, you can keep your shoes neutral and add a splash of colour with your bag.

2. Jeans + Wax Jacket + Flat Shoes

Jeans are a year-round favourite, and they’re perfect for autumn when combined with a classic wax jacket. This timeless outerwear option is ideal for unpredictable weather, offering protection from showers without compromising on style. Slim jeans are a great alternative to skinny jeans and can be styled with loafers, trainers and boots.

3. Smart Trousers + T-Shirt + Cardigan + Slingbacks

For a smart-casual look, opt for tailored trousers paired with a simple t-shirt. Layer with a trendy cosy cropped boxy style cardigan. Slingbacks are a practical choice (and great alternative to trainers), keeping the outfit comfortable without sacrificing style – perfect for a business casual look.

4. Wide Leg Jeans + Polo Neck + Textured Jacket + Boots

Wide leg jeans tend to work on most shapes, and they’re a perfect fit for autumn. Pair them with a polo neck for warmth and a textured jacket to add depth to the look. Finish off with boots, a great choice for those unpredictable days.

5. Tailored Trousers + Tee or Jumper + Trench Coat + Trainers

A classic trench coat is a wardrobe essential for autumn. Wear it over tailored trousers (dark navy or charcoal are great classic choices) and either a tee or a jumper, depending on the temperature. Trainers keep the look casual and comfortable, perfect for running errands or casual outings.

6. Leather Skirt or Trousers + Jumper + Knee High Boots

For a bolder autumn look, try leather trousers or a leather skirt. Pair with a cosy jumper to soften the outfit and keep it seasonally appropriate. Knee high boots add a sleek finish while providing extra warmth as temperatures drop.

7. Knitted Dress + Knee Boots

A knitted dress is an easy choice for autumn. It can be dressed up or down, making it perfect for a range of occasions. Team it with knee boots for a classic, put-together look that’s ideal for the season.

These autumn outfit ideas offer the perfect balance between fashion and functionality, ensuring you’re ready for whatever the season brings. Experiment with layering, colour different textures to make these looks your own!
