The weather may be indecisive, but we've made the decision to start incorporating a bit of autumn into our looks. Be it cowboy boots teamed with a linen dress, a trench with our miniskirt look or the most recent hero item: a knit tank top. The basic has been the most loyal item in our wardrobes for a few seasons, and this autumn, we're not letting go. Instead of cooler cotton iterations, we'll be opting for fine knit tanks, vests and cami tops to go with all our new-season trousers and skirts.
We know it's hard to think about knitwear while the weather is muggy, but this is the easy way to dip a toe into autumn without going full-on cashmere (just yet).
The humble knit top has the power to make any simple outfit feel slightly more luxe. And you won't be short of styles to choose from, no matter your budget. H&M has a sweetheart-neckline version that has sell-out written all over it. Victoria Beckham has kept autumn full of colour, and Ganni has an effortless vest every Scandi style lover will want.
