“I invested in a pair of leopard-print boots a couple of seasons ago and cannot recommend them enough. Endlessly adaptable, they amp up neutrals, tastefully clash with prints and work with block colours for both day and evening. The trick is to choose a pair with a walkable heel, such as these.”

“As far as jewellery goes this season, my motto is: pile it on. I’ll be reaching for oversized gold chains and wearing them as necklaces and bracelets layered over knitwear.” 

“The beautifully pared-back design of Celine’s shoulder bag cements it as a timeless investment. I already have forever styles in black, tan and brown, so love the idea of injecting colour into my collection with autumnal red.”

“Boden really are masters of the striped top, and this wide-stripe cashmere knit will elevate everyday jeans.”

“Denim will continue to be a fixture in my new-season wardrobe, but I’ll be switching straight-leg jeans for flared cuts, which have just the right amount of vintage-inspired aesthetic.”

“This sleek leather belt is a true outfit transformer: I’ll be using it to refresh last year’s coats, by belting them at the waist, and to give my knitted dresses and chunky jumpers a cinched silhouette.”

“It might make a statement, but leopard faux fur is as classic as it gets – think Edie Sedgwick, Debbie Harry et al. I’ll be using this bona fide multitasker to add wow-factor to everyday basics and evening wear.”

“I’m really looking forward to pulling out my Church’s lace-up boots and will be wearing them with everything from tailored trousers to autumnal dresses.”

“Sunglasses are a year-round must for me, and I always have a pair in my bag for those bright wintry days. Bottega Veneta’s contemporary take on the classic cat-eye has caught my attention – timeless yet modern.”

“Gold hoops are my daily go-to, but these T-bar earrings make for a new-season update. Just the thing to add subtle glow to everyday outfits. Plus, the bars can be removed, for double the styling opportunity.” 

“A navy jumper is an essential in my knitwear drawer, but I love the idea of giving the basic an extra-special touch with elevating gold buttons.” 

“I might have mentioned once or twice that I have a thing for bows! Not only will this headband lend polish to a cashmere-jumper-and-jeans look, it will also give me an instant mood boost.”

“I have really missed wearing lipstick so will be embracing it with gusto this autumn. Gucci’s long-lasting, luxe formulations have really impressed me, and I love this deep-red hue, which comes with a velvet matte finish.”

“Jumpsuits have become a staple in my autumn/winter wardrobe, and I love Ulla’s feminine silhouettes. When temperatures drop, my tip is to layer up with a roll neck underneath. Reach for fine-gauge merino knits or striped jersey styles.”
