13 Easy Outfits Fashion People in London, Paris and Copenhagen Will Wear on Rotation This Autumn

To quote the viral clip from Gilmore Girls, I am an autumn. Sorry to all the warm weather lovers out there, but the transitional season is far and away my favourite. I actually love the unpredictability of the weather—the fact that you get a mix of grey days which call for cosiness, and those beautifully bright blue sky days that have just the right amount of crisp in the air. And one of my main reasons for loving this mix of temperatures is that fact it actually allows for a real mix of outfits. Is there any season where you get more wear out of most of your clothes? After all, this is the time where you're as likely to wear your knitwear as you are to wear a breezy linen shirt that you took on your summer holiday.

But while it can be fun to have the opportunity to come up with a mix of outfits week after week, I get that sometimes you just need things to be simple. Trust me, I'm as big a fan of an easy outfit formula as the next person. So I got to scrolling Instagram to try and find some outfit inspiration that fits two criteria: one, it makes me excited for the new season, and two, it's undeniably easy to throw together.

Turns out, most of the best and most impressive-looking outfits rely on a rotation of key staples that you likely already own—and if you don't, designer and high street favourites more than have you covered. From tailored trousers paired with slouchy knits, to mini dresses styled with turtlenecks and knee-high boots, the tricks tend to come down to layering, so that you look like a styling pro while also being prepared for whatever weather the day throws your way.

Keep scrolling to see and shop 13 of my favourite autumn outfits to get you as excited for the new season as me.

13 Easy Autumn Outfit Ideas

1. Monochromatic Jumper + Tailored Trousers

Style Notes: If there's one colour at the top of my autumn wish list, it's brown. So it's no surprise that Marisa's outfit immediately caught my eye. This monochromatic look exudes sophistication, but also is so effortless that you could feel confident wearing it in so many scenarios.

2. White Shirt + Wide-Leg Jeans + Trench Coat + Pointed-Toe Flats

Style Notes: If you're looking to bring Scandi style into your autumn wardrobe, this look is a great one to recreate. Jeans, a white shirt and a trench coat are all transitional season staples—but the patent pointed-toe flats give the whole ensemble a cool, contemporary twist.

Shop The Look:

3. Suede jacket + White jeans + Heels

Style Notes: While suede has been trending year-round for 2025, the soft-touch fabric truly comes into its own during the autumn months. A suede blazer paired with monochromatic staples will look effortlessly chic at this time of year while also ensuring you stay snug on cold days.

Shop The Look:

4. Bermuda Shorts + Oversized Jumper + Strappy Heel

Style Notes: If you embraced the Bermuda short trend this summer, good news—you can take them into autumn with Dawn's styling trick. Embrace the oversized silhouette by styling them with a baggy jumper, and give the look a polished finish by opting for minimalist black heels.

Shop The Look:

5. Mini Dress + Turtleneck + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: Love a high hemline? Follow Liv's example and bring your favourite mini dress into the colder months by layering it over a fitted turtleneck and finishing off with knee-high boots.

Shop The Look:

6. Barrel Jeans + Blazer + Heels

Style Notes: If I'm honest, my typical go-to for easy autumn outfits tends to be some variation of jeans + top. So Anouk's outfit is giving great outfit inspiration for how to take this combination up a notch—and it all starts with the very cool barrel-leg jean.

Shop The Look:

7. Striped Jumper + White Trousers + Birkenstocks

Style Notes: This is the perfect coastal grandma-inspired outfit for those sunny autumn days. Bring your summer white trousers into the transitional season by layering them with Bikenstocks and an oversized striped jumper. Gorgeous.

Shop The Look:

8. Knit Skirt + Camel Jumper + Mules

Style Notes: This is the kind of sophisticated outfit I aspire to recreate, but when you break it down, it's actually surprisingly simple. Knitted skirts and camel jumpers are true wardrobe staples, but the tonal story here just makes the whole outfit look extra chic.

Shop The Look:

9. Leather jacket + Polo Top + Skirt + Courts

Style Notes: Make skirts cold weather appropriate by pairing them with snuggly knitwear and a supersized leather jacket. The ideal outfit for in-between days.

Shop The Look:

10. Trouser Suit + Waistcoat + Trainers

Style Notes: If you thought tailoring was only for the office, allow this look to prove you wrong. Here, Nina shows that a sleek three-piece suit can work for more laid-back autumn days, too, simply by pairing it with coordinating trainers and an easy-to-carry crossbody bag.

Shop The Look:

11. Pleated Skirt + Blazer + Western Boots

Style Notes: Another monochromatic look, but this time in all grey. Frann's outfit looks so considered, but is actually blissfully easy to pull together.

Shop The Look:

12. Leggings + Turtleneck + Blazer + Flats

Style Notes: In the world of simple dressing, is there anything easier—and more comfortable—than leggings? Thankfully, over the past year our favourite influencers, like Chrissy, have proven that these figure-hugging pants can be styled to look seriously elevated, and this outfit is a brilliant example.

Shop The Look:

13. Bright Shirt + Jumper + Black Jeans + Trainers

Style Notes: As I said, jeans and a top is my favourite go-to easy outfit, and Jess' outfit is another example of how to make this otherwise "basic" combination feel more considered. I love the contrast of the bright shirt with the studded belt, and black jeans are just always a good idea.
