As the crisp air of autumn sets in, I get excited about bringing out the staples of my wardrobe for the cooler weather, and these timeless pieces never go out of style.
This season, I’ve updated my closet with some classic autumn essentials to make sure I’m prepared for the cold snap that usually comes at the end of September here in Cheshire.
If you’re looking to elevate your outfits as the leaves start to fall, these staples will stand the test of time!
1. Riding Boots
Riding boots are making a big comeback this season, and for good reason. Whether you’re running errands or taking a brisk walk through the park, these boots combine style with practicality.
Pair them with your favorite skinny jeans or leggings for a sleek, put-together look. Look for high-quality leather options that will last for years to come.
Pro tip: Choosing neutral tones like black or brown can complement any autumn outfit.
2. Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans are back, and they’re better than ever. After falling out of favour for most in the turn of the decade, a strong comeback is on for 2024 into 2025.
Perfect for tucking into your riding boots, they provide a clean silhouette and can be easily dressed up or down. Whether you prefer dark washes for a more polished look or lighter hues for casual days, skinny jeans are a big go-to for any autumn wardrobe.
Hot tip: Opt for high-waisted skinny jeans to enhance your figure and elongate your legs.
3. Trench Coats: The Timeless Outerwear Staple
I can’t believe I waited this long to add a trench coat to my wardrobe. It’s the perfect outer layer for the cooler months, and it adds an element of sophistication to any outfit.
Whether you’re layering it over a dress or casual jeans, a trench coat elevates your look instantly. Look for classic shades like camel or beige for a timeless appeal.
Style hack: Cinch the waist with a belt to create a flattering, hourglass silhouette.
Final Thoughts
These three pieces — riding boots, skinny jeans, and trench coats — are the building blocks of an effortlessly chic autumn wardrobe. They’re not just trends; they’re timeless classics that will carry you through many seasons and for years to come.
