Some may mourn the end of summer, but I’m more than ready to embrace London’s chillier side. There’s something about the shift in the weather that feels like a reset—cooler mornings, golden leaves and of course, a whole new wardrobe situation. Gone are the days of sundresses and strappy sandals, and in comes the need for those layering essentials to take us through the fluctuating autumn temperatures. Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this moment all year. Autumn brings a distinct shift in how I dress, and with all the chic new-in pieces at & Other Stories, I know exactly what I’ll be reaching for.
For me, & Other Stories has always been my go-to for those timeless, minimal pieces that do the heavy lifting when the temperature drops. The brand’s autumn collection feels like a masterclass in layering—every piece is designed to be worn and re-worn without losing its premium appeal, which is exactly what I want for my cooler-weather wardrobe. Whether you’re into sleek, minimal silhouettes or prefer something with a bit more personality, the brand strikes the perfect balance. The craftspersonship shines through—think beautiful knits that feel luxurious yet effortless and practical outwear that doesn’t sacrifice style. And let’s not forget colour—whether you love a punchy bright blue or a neutral hue, there’s something for every aesthetic in this year’s autumn collection.
Some of the pieces in the new collection already have me fully captivated. From cosy, oversized knits to structured trousers that scream minimal effort with maximum impact, there’s no shortage of options. A few of the pieces I’m particularly excited about? The Voluminous Belted Wool Coat (£245)—perfect for layering over anything, the Stretch-Leather Knee Boots (£295), which I can already see myself wearing on repeat, and the structured but slouchy Paneled Leather Shoulder Bag (£155) that’ll easily take me from day to night.
I’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up some of my top picks below, so read on for everything currently on my & Other Stories wish list.
