Style Notes: Slip skirts have been going strong for a few seasons now, and they work just as well for autumn as they do summer. Switch out vest tops in favour of flannel shirting or suede jackets to give them a cold-weather spin.

Style Notes: Poplin skirts are the easiest way to look put together all year round, but for autumn, opt for earthy hues like chocolate brown. Dress this down with trainers or boots for casual days or with a statement heel like Abi's for a more formal occasion.
