Tailoring is a great choice if you’re looking for a polished winter look. Just add a wool coat for extra warmth.
It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in neutral knitwear and the same black boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Grece Ghanem, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until early next year––yes, we’re already thinking ahead to 2025 looks.
Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll necks jumpers and classic blazers, but you can make your autumn wardrobe more 2024 with cream boots, field jackets and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next three months in boring and unadventurous outfits.
These are the 13 autumn/winter outfit ideas and combinations that you can turn to as the weather gets cooler.
1. SUEDE JACKET + JUMPER + MAXI SKIRT
Style Notes: If you invest in one thing this season, make it a suede jacket. The style of the season, it’ll be your cover-up of choice for so many outfits. But I love it with a maxi skirt.
