I love autumn. As summer comes to a close, the mere mention of browning leaves and creamy hot cocoa is enough to send me rummaging through my wardrobe to rediscover all my cosy cold-weather clothes. Goodbye, cotton dresses and strappy sandals. While I’m always careful not to unnecessarily add to my ridiculous mountain of knitwear, I can’t help but take a peek at which fresh trends are emerging this time of year and how my favourite designers are interpreting them.
No doubt about it: This year’s trends are good. So good I’ve composed a fantasy wish list that would likely cost the value of a small house to fulfil. But as someone who describes their style as classic when asked, I’m forever on the hunt for investment pieces that I know I’ll get endless wear out of, and this remains my priority for autumn/winter 2022. Thank goodness for willpower.
When I shop, I shop with outfits in mind. And there are certain ensembles that I look forward to re-creating each time autumn rolls around. Cool, classic and comfortable—I’m pretty sure these outfit formulas are universally loved. But in case you’re yet to discover them, scroll on for the six timeless looks I’ll be wearing all season long.
