Our Editors Reveal the #1 Autumn Accessory They Can't Live Without

Although we'd love to shop all the amazing pieces we feature every day, our wallets simply won't allow it, which makes the items we do actually commit to shopping all the most special.
It's no coincidence that the start of a new season coincides with an increase in the amount of online shopping packages that come through our office door. Our editors are working hard to dissect the runway trends and deliver you the trends you need to know about now. With online stores fighting for our attention with new season arrivals, it's no surprise we're all on a shopping spree.
But what pieces do editors actually buy and wear all season? Today, we're revealing the #1 autumn accessory we cannot live without. Keep scrolling!
"My H&M Studio pin-striped corset top will be my trusted autumn accessory. While a piece of clothing, yes, it will actually act more as an accessory because it will add a layer of right-now style to my trans-seasonal looks. I plan on wearing over T-shirts and turtlenecks with jeans and midi skirts. On trend and also just kind of a bit sexy."
"At the beginning of every season I find myself unsure of the direction I want to take my wardrobe, which trends I want to try, and what piece I want to invest in. So I usually rely on elevating my staple pieces with accessories, and this autumn I am all about statement earrings. I particularly love bargain finds from ASOS, Mango, and Zara."
"Every autumn I buy a new pair of black ankle boots to see me through the season. I tend to pick a pair of shoes and wear them almost every day to work, but with the contrast leather and buckle toe on these Beau Coops boots, I won't ever get sick of looking down at them."
"These slingback heels keep me up at night. They're pure perfection, and so versatile, a true investment. I can't wait to get in on the trend that Selena Gomez has been wearing so effortlessly, and pair them with light denim jeans and a blazer."
"My #1 autumn accessory isn't actually an accessory, but rather the humble blazer. It effortlessly makes any outfit for work look smart and classic, and on the weekend I like pairing it with denim shorts or a skirt to dress up a casual outfit. It’s perfect for autumn because it’s warm enough, but not too warm."
"I mean… do I need a legitimate reason?"
"It may not be quite the weather for wrapping up in winter woollies just yet, but I’ll be heralding the change of seasons with this silk scarf to take the edge off on chillier evenings."
