As the days begin to get shorter and the weather starts cools down it’s easy to find yourself in a style rut. Although I have a wardrobe bursting with clothes I always get that “nothing to wear” feeling as the seasons change. Autumn/Winter dressing isn’t that difficult to master if you have a capsule wardrobe in place, however, and that’s why I suggest everyone invests in the following basics: a parka, leather trousers, a striped long sleeved T-shirt, red lipstick, a grey knit, a chunky scarf, biker boots and a fail-safe party dress.
Get these classic items in place and you’ll spend less time getting dressed in the morning – and who doesn’t want an extra 10 minutes in bed? The following designs are some of my favourites, but you’ll find variations of these looks in most stores, whatever your budget…
1. The Parka by ASOS – £85 at ASOS or $143 at ASOS USA
2. The Leather Trousers by Joseph – £675 at Net-a-Porter or $1,350 at Net-a-Porter USA
3. The Stripe Tee by J.Crew – £65 or $65 at JCrew.com
4. The Red Lipstick by Topshop – £8 at Topshop or $16 at Topshop USA
5. The Grey Knit by Dagmar – £150 at Net-a-Porter or $240 at Net-a-Porter USA
6. The Chunky Scarf by ASOS - £20 at ASOS or $34 at ASOS USA
