This Anti-Trend Edit Will Ready Your Wardrobe for Autumn
Sponsor Content Created With NET-A-PORTER
With the cooler weather we've been experiencing lately, its as though we're being forced to remember that autumn is on its way. We pulled out our floaty summer dresses for the short spell of June sun, and stuck with them throughout July in the hope if they would manifest brighter, warmer days. But clearly, there's no stopping the arrival of layering season, and soon enough we'll once again be turning to our wardrobes for autumn outfits.
As we start readying ourselves for the new season, NET-A-PORTER has come along to offer some guidance. Its pre-fall edit will help you transition summer styles into the cooler months with the addition of year-round favourites. But true to the luxe retailer's reputation, these aren't your most basic basics. Each piece is an investment in a forever style that will earn its keep through its versatility, cost per wear and longevity in your wardrobe.
As editors, we turn to NET-A-PORTER every time we're looking to invest in high-quality craftsmanship from a range of well-known designers and new brands alike. With so much excellent fashion to explore, it's easy to understand why we never stray far from the site.
Personally, I think autumn is the season our wardrobes work the hardest. Navigating the unpredictable weather requires staples that can be successful in many outfit iterations. Unlike the easy throw-on dresses and slip-on sandals of summer, moving into autumn requires a little more consideration. Thankfully, having a selection of useful items makes this so much easier.
NET-A-PORTER is helping us prepare for the new season with its edit of understated classics that ease the transition of our wardrobes into chillier months, yet many feature a fashion-forward element that sets them apart from the rest. This could be in the silhouette of a pair of classic trousers, a design detail on a staple shirt, or a subtle update to a timeless jacket.
You'll be able to explore these very specific examples below, alongside cosy knitwear pieces that are set to be your autumn heroes, allowing you to layer up depending on the changing weather.
So, if you're looking to ready your wardrobe for autumn, I'd suggest you start with NET-A-PORTER's pre-fall edit below. Now, let's explore.
SHOP THE PRE-FALL EDIT:
All our editors have fallen for Loewe's new Puzzle bag.
A classic shirt works hard in any wardrobe.
Everything about these shoes feels so '90s, from the barely-there silhouette to the chic square toe.
Leather jackets always return in the cooler months, and I have a feeling this cargo style will fly.
From the gathering to the buttermilk yellow hue, this dress ticks off trends whilst remaining eternally chic.
Upgrade your cold-weather hoodie to a sumptuous cashmere version.
If your simple tee feels a little tired, look no further than Dries Van Noten's gathered and draped iteration.
Most of us rely on a denim jacket throughout the year, but Khaite's studded version adds a fresh edge that sets it apart.
For autumn, knit dresses take over where linen styles leave off.
The Woody bag has become a designer favourite, and in leather, it's the ultimate year-round companion.
As the cooler days set in, open-toe shoes can be packed away whilst on-trend ballet flats take their spot.
My black blazer gets so much wear, and I think this textured design will work just as hard.
This streamlined knitted dress can be dressed up and down to suit various occasions.
The coat balances the timelessness of a trench coat with the eye-catching impact of the cape-like details.
If you're still holding onto summer, play with white tailoring to lighten your autumn ensembles.
Paired with jeans, dresses or tailoring, these shoes will earn their inclusion in your autumn outfits.
The shirt dress is a timeless staple, and the gathered detailing on this one sent it straight to my basket.
Let your summer dresses hang around for longer by layering a sleek blazer on top.
Style this simple, chic dress with ballet flats for day and timeless heels for evening.
Embrace the mary jane revival with Aeyde's timeless and understated pair.
And finally, The Row's carefully crafted shoulder bag is the perfect size for everyday, whilst the clean design will remain on-trend.
