I'm not sure if it's the fact I haven't treated myself to anything new in a while or that we'll soon be navigating that awkward period where the weather can't seem to make up its mind between cold and freezing, but lately, I've been feeling stuck in a style rut. However, with autumn soon on it's way and winter not far behind, I think it's high time I pull myself out of my self-induced fashion funk and allow myself to get excited about a new season, and the next few months of cosy knits and luxurious layers.
Instead of buying a host of new pieces, I first want to shop my own wardrobe. I've been living in floaty dresses and linen shirting for months, so I know digging out my autumnal pieces will help my style feel fresher in a flash. But how to style them? I've been saving chic influencer outfits on my Instagram for weeks now, and there are nine standout looks that I can't wait to try—most of which I'm pretty sure I can assemble with pieces I already own.
Scroll below to see the outfits fashion people are wearing right now, along with current shopping options for each should you find something you want to invest in that you mightn't already own.
9 Influencer Autumn Outfits I'm Re-Creating ASAP:
1. Blazer + T-Shirt + Miniskirt
Style Notes: Thought mini skirts may not feel synonymous with autumn and winter, this is a look that can be translated to all seasons. For cooler days add tights, or go without when the sun makes an appearance.
Shop the Look:
This will also look great with jeans or tailored trousers.
A white t-shirt that doesn't show your underwear through.
A miniskirt will never fail you.
2. Fluffy Knit + Track Pants + Trainers
Style Notes: Autumn = cold. I hate the cold. The antidote? A cosy and chic cream knit and comfy track pants. Extra points if you blend the rest of your outfit to match its colour.
Shop the Look:
A light cream hue looks so luxe.
Comfort and style in perfect harmony.
Keep it monochrome from head to toe.
3. Long-Sleeve Dress + Statement Heels
Style Notes: Long sleeves on dresses are a cold-weather no-brainer. Dress them down with trainers and a trench or up with heels like Coco.
Shop the Look:
What's not to love?
An investment bag you won't regret.
I've fallen head over heels for this pair.
4. Trench Coat + Roll-Neck Knit + Jeans
Style Notes: Is there anything more timeless than a trench coat worn with a black roll-neck knit and jeans? I think not.
Shop the Look:
A green trench is just as classic as typical beige.
A must have for these colder months.
We've heard great things about Arket denim.
5. Stripe Shirt + Maxi Skirt
Style Notes: Just like a classic white shirt, stripe button-ups make getting ready in the mornings look so easy. Marilyn's black maxi skirt looks so chic contrasted with the blue and white stripes and you can't go wrong with some sporty trainers.
Shop the Look:
Such a great shape.
So many great looks start with a black skirt.
A best-seller for a reason.
6. Colourful Knit + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: Get significantly more wear out of the ballet flats you bought this summer by styling it with a colourful knit and jeans for a chic off-duty ensemble you can wear from autumn through winter into spring.
Shop the Look:
The green works especially well with white accessories.
Always in style.
So iconic.
7. Denim Jacket + Leather Midi Skirt
Style Notes: There's an instant elevation that occurs when you contrast textures, and this denim and leather look is a fine example. On chillier days, layer a jumper under your jacket.
Shop the Look:
Made from an innovative nettle and organic cotton.
Dress up or down for day or night.
Dreamy.
8. Longline Blazer + Slip Skirt + Mules
Style Notes: I live in blazers year-round, but I think they look their chicest in winter when worn essentially as tops for elevated evening looks.
Shop the Look:
The cinched-in waist adds a fashion-forward feel.
You'll find so many ways to style this.
We're surprised that these are still in stock.
9. Stripe Knit + Tailored Trousers + Loafers
Style Notes: Breton-stripe knitwear is about as timeless as fashion gets, particularly when it's paired with black trousers and loafers.
Shop the Look:
A timeless piece to treasure forever.
These sleek trousers can be styled for work, free time or evenings out.
A classic.
