Autumn has a way of announcing itself that no other season can quite match. There’s something about the crisp air, the earthy scents and the shifting tones that have me excited to reimagine my wardrobe every year. It’s the season when my love for dark, muted colours truly shines. Whilst black, navy and deep burgundy are staples in my rotation year-round, they feel even more appropriate as the days grow shorter. When it comes to refreshing my collection with those timeless pieces that will work not only for the new season but way beyond, NET-A-PORTER never misses. This year, I’ve been eagerly scrolling through the site’s new-in section, and let’s just say, my virtual basket is looking pretty irresistible.

NET-A-PORTER has always been my go-to for those standout pieces that become the building blocks of a wardrobe. A few years back, I snagged a pair of Saint Laurent boots that have become my autumn signature—they’ve aged beautifully, and every time I wear them I’m reminded of why the site is such a treasure trove. This season, I’m already eyeing a few key pieces that will not only fit seamlessly into my autumn lineup but can also be restyled to carry me through the year. Whether it’s a dinner out, a cosy weekend getaway or just those everyday moments that call for something extra special, I’ve found some gems that are as practical as they are chic.

There’s a luxe cashmere-blend sweater from Toteme that’s perfect for layering under a tailored coat, an effortlessly elegant slip dress I can imagine wearing to late-season weddings and a pair of Max Mara wide-leg trousers that will take me from meetings to weekend brunches with ease. My bookmarks tab is already filling up with these and more autumnal finds, so below are the pieces I’ve whittled it down to.
