What to Buy For Autumn: 12 Pieces You’ll Wear on Repeat

Before each season I try to make a concise list that includes the capsule pieces I wore most last year, and those that I feel like I was really missing. For autumn, I’ve thought long and hard about what I, as an editor and stylist, will genuinely wear day to day, as well as what I would really recommend to anyone trying to build an autumn wardrobe full of really useful pieces.

Whatever your style, the 12 classics below can either be built upon with more neutral staples, or interspersed with pretty autumnal florals, bold brights and sparkly heels, if that’s more your vibe.

Most of these items are no-brainers—the trench coat, black loafers and striped knit, for example—that you might already have considered. But to be as helpful as possible I’ve also added in shopping links for each key piece, directing you to the best-of-the-best versions on the market right now, across both high street and designer price points.

You’re welcome! Keep scrolling to see what to buy for autumn…
