6 Fashion Influencers Shared Their Ultimate Autumn Wish Lists With Me

Instagram is one of my favourite destinations for a daily dose of fashion inspiration. Each season, I love poring over our trend guide and street style stories, but there’s something to be said for seeing those whose style—and wardrobes—you enjoy try new-season pieces, test out trends and rework wardrobe staples in ways you could never imagine. They sometimes do the hard work so we don't have to.

So when I thought about what I wanted to invest in ahead of the new season, I knew I needed to go straight to my usual source and, of course, share my findings with you. With that in mind, I asked six fashion influencers to share their autumn wish lists and reveal the pieces they've got their eyes on and what they're planning on wearing all season long. Between them, there’s an eclectic mix of aesthetics as well as a great balance between designer and high street, proving that even those in the know understand the value of a good investment piece, whether it's £30 or £300.

Expect a strong focus on hero knitwear as well as timeless outerwear and versatile dresses. Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist—or even if, like me, you fall into neither of these categories and like to dip your toe into every fashion camp—there's something to inspire you here. 

Keep scrolling to see what some of the people behind your favourite fashion accounts will be investing in this autumn/winter.

Poppy Nash
Managing Editor

Poppy joined theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK team as managing editor in 2022. After graduating from university with a degree in English literature, she worked for a number of print and digital publications, including Women's Health, The Times, Hello! and Marie Claire. In these roles she assisted the fashion teams with print content as well as digital shopping features, shoots and celebrity news.

Prior toBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , Poppy worked at SheerLuxe as the commercial content manager. There she oversaw all paid-for site content and inclusions, managed the visual assets and briefs for branded content, and ensured all content—whether editorial or commercial—was in line with overall brand guidelines and tone. She also supported the editorial team by looking after visual merchandising on site and reviewing the brand’s daily newsletters.

As WWW UK’s managing editor, Poppy spends most of her time looking after the content calendar and all output across the brand, in addition to working with contributors, supporting with social media planning, assisting with branded content and contributing to brand strategy. Poppy prides herself on being organised, and a keen eye for detail means she oversees the production of tentpole moments such asBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing ’s quarterly celebrity covers, the Wedding Issue, team shoots, events, industry-facing moments, gift guides and more. In addition to this, Poppy ensures processes across the brand are efficient and effective, and is always on the lookout for ways the team can work smarter, not harder! As someone who works behind the scenes (Poppy loves a spreadsheet!), you won’t find many articles by Poppy on site, but when you do there’s no doubt they will either be focused on dresses, handbags or classic high-street buys. Or better yet, all three!

Born and raised in London, Poppy is a true city girl. When she's not thinking about clothes (or raiding her mum’s wardrobe), Poppy fills her time walking along the river with her 11-year-old labradoodle, getting stuck in a good book and enjoying as many of the city’s amazing restaurants and bars as her purse will allow! Her favourite London spots are Caravel for dinner, the Ham Yard Hotel for a fancy pre-theatre drink, Daunt Books for a new read, 26Grains for breakfast and Coal Drop's Yard for a spot of shopping.
