Summer has officially ended and we are ready to welcome in autumn. From falling leaves to the cool breeze, we are secretly revelling in the new season and can’t wait to break out the winter wardrobe.
With the changing of season comes the exciting changing of the wardrobes, we swap out our summer linens with thicker more weather appropriate sweaters and coats.
But building your autumn wardrobe isn’t always easy, especially when living in Australia with our temperamental changes in climate.
The key to solving this issue is to find timeless, trans-seasonal pieces that can be layered, dressed up or down and worn from autumn to spring. This cuts down on not only the number of clothes you have to store but also makes getting dressed in the morning a dream.
Timeless autumn pieces like trench coats, pants and boots will always be in style, yet trends like coloured tights, suiting and maxi length denim skirts are popping up on the fashion experts attending the various fashion weeks across the globe.
To help you with the task, below we are looking at some of our autumn favourites as inspiration for our wardrobes as the breeze gets a little chillier and the leaves start to fall.
