Autumn can be a sartorial challenge, even for the most confident of dressers. The shift in temperatures proves to be the biggest hitch as, after months of giving little thought to whether your ensembles will be warm enough, this swiftly becomes your primary concern. And, let's face it, it can be difficult to feel chic when you're laden down in knitwear and wool. Difficult, but certainly not impossible.
Some of our favourite celebrities are taking autumn in stride, flaunting their brilliant cold-weather-ready looks on Instagram for all to see. Sporting gorgeous coats, the sleekest of boots, elevated knitwear, cosy co-ords and luxe bags, these A-listers prove that looking slick and being appropriately dressed for the season ahead can go hand in hand.
Amongst the most noteworthy attire are Emily Ratajkowski’s sheepskin coat, Sarah Jessica Parker’s logo-emblazoned socks, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s sharp blazer and Alexa Chung’s embroidered cardigan, but there are plenty of other wares to go through. Keep scrolling to see the eight best celebrity autumn (and winter) outfit ideas that will carry you through until spring.
Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung knows that the cardigan is one of the hottest buys of 2022—particularly when paired with a roll-neck and ecru jeans. Now, we find ourselves swiftly coveting a navy iteration, which we'll pair with our summertime basket bag for a French-inspired spin.
We love the collar on this cardigan.
An essential extra layer.
The ruffle on this bag matches the ruffle on the cardigan perfectly.
White jeans aren't just for summer.
These look so expensive.
Ashley Graham
Miniskirts continue to be a huge trend for autumn. Ashley Graham gives hers a cool-girl spin with a grey oversized blazer, a plain white T-shirt and a pair of strappy sandals—the ultimate after-dark ensemble.
The blazer every influencer wants to own.
The slightly cropped hemline is ideal for tucking into high-waist trousers and skirts.
Speaking of which, this skirt is an easy addition to any autumn wardrobe.
Sandals that work for so many occasions.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker ensures her feet stay toasty in her cute Mary Janes with the assistance of a pair of chunky Gucci socks. We also appreciate the print clash created by her floral midi dress and checked coat.
Houndstooth never dates.
Veronica Beard always delivers on floral dresses.
So fun!
Where there's SJP, Manolo Blahniks can't be too far away.
Emily Ratajkowski
Most commonly found in glam attire, Emily Ratajkowski proves she looks just as cool in her off-duty wares. We love her combination of refined joggers and a hoodie, a sheepskin coat, a cashmere beanie and box-fresh kicks.
An incredibly cool collab.
This is on many of our editors' autumn wish lists.
If luxe loungewear is what you're after, look no further than Pangaia.
These are impossibly soft.
One of fashion's favourite trainer brands.
Adwoa Aboah
When your scarf, coat and boots look as good as Adwoa Aboah's, who cares what you have on underneath? Invest in statement outerwear and a designer shawl, and you'll feel chic all day, every day.
Logo scarves are going to be a big deal this season.
A sleek addition to any coat collection.
Boots you'll wear for years to come.
Elsa Hosk
Elsa Hosk insists that mini hemlines shouldn't be relegated to summer—and we quite agree after seeing her leather jacket, miniskirt and combat boot. Just add opaques.
Beige leather (real or faux) looks so elevated.
COS is backing miniskirts in a big way.
Doesn't this bag look designer to you?
The place our editors get their tights from.
Combat boots were all over the autumn 2022 runways.
Tracee Ellis Ross
It's all too easy to default to dark clothing this time of year, but Tracee Ellis Ross proves that white hues still have a place in your autumn clothing line-up. Though, admittedly, we love how she's contrasted her fresh 'fit with a black coat. The orange mules, however, ensure the ensemble remains bright-feeling.
This is made from a thicker material than standard tees.
You'll think up so many places to wear this midi.
Honestly, this looks designer to us.
Tangerine has been one of 2022's biggest colour trends, and it's not going anywhere for autumn either.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie HW is the master of dressing down tailoring with casual pieces. Case in point: this pinstripe jacket and-jeans pairing, which she's given a cold-weather overhaul with the addition of a roll-neck and boots.
Navy pinstripes are a wardrobe classic.
Everyone needs a black roll-neck knit in their wardrobes.
Yes, celebrities still wear skinnies on the regular.
Dream boot situation.
Laura Harrier
'Tis the season of bomber jackets (you can consult our autumn/winter 2022 trend report for proof), and Laura Harrier is way ahead of us styling up hers with a cardigan, tee, jeans and trainers.
A truly great Zara find.
We get all of our staple knitwear from Other Stories.
These jeans come in a diverse size range.
Trainers you can pair with everything, from the above jeans to dresses.
