The Suede Jacket
Few styles rival the quiet luxury of a suede jacket. A staple that’s dominated the fashion landscape over the past year, it’s showing no signs of slowing down this season. Lightweight yet polished, it brings instant elevation to even the simplest outfits – think jeans and a knit. Just be sure to check the forecast before heading out; real suede doesn’t mix well with rain.
The Barn Jacket
It may have started as a countryside classic, but the barn jacket is now firmly established as a city essential. Last year’s cult favourite is back again, proving its staying power. This season, try styling it with unexpected pieces – like a crisp white midi skirt and ankle boots – to take summer favourites seamlessly into autumn.
The Wool Blazer
The blazer comes into its own in autumn. Versatile, smart and surprisingly warm, a wool version works for just about any occasion – from weekday meetings to Sunday lunches. Opt for a relaxed, slightly oversized cut to accommodate heavier knits later in the season, and layer under a trench when the chill sets in.
The Leather Jacket
Timeless, versatile, and always in style – a leather jacket is a forever piece. With so many variations to choose from, there’s something for every wardrobe: biker, bomber, or collarless and sleek. Use it to add edge to a floaty dress or toughen up your off-duty denim. Invest in real leather and it’ll only get better with age.
