Essential fashion buys for 2016
Crunchy leaves, new boots, soups, scarves and a roaring fire. While we're sad to see summer on its way out, there's nothing quite like seeing the season turn...and the shops fill with cosy knitwear pieces. Here's our pick of the best bits to keep you looking stylish and staying warm as the weather cools.
Autumn warmers

 |
| Revere Collar Overcoat | Darlington Reefer Jacket |

Relaxed, but stylish. Balance the looser shape with slim-leg trousers or jeans and a pair of sharp leather gloves. |

Dress to impress

| Kira Shirt Dress | Phase Eight Fryda Dress |

Lightweight and comfortable with a tie to cinch your waist. A good transitional outfit that won't have you sweating as soon as you step out the door. |
A very wearable style. A sharp option for dinners and dos. It's hard to resist such autumnal colours. |

Alternative cosy layers

The perfect team
 |
