Too often, we get so caught up in adding fun, new season trends to our wardrobes (like PVC pants), that the essentials never quite land. Pieces you'll wear time and time again like a trench coat, black jeans, turtleneck—the foundations of great style—are often forgotten.
The beauty of having these pieces in your wardrobe, means that you can halve the time you spend getting dressed each morning. Having those classic autumn wardrobe staples, mean that you can add the trend pieces—like a pair of fuchsia mules, or embellished jeans, and the rest of your outfit looks sleek and put together.
Today, we're highlighting the classic autumn pieces every woman needs in her wardrobe—the foundations of great style, that you can mix and match with your favourite trends. Keep scrolling to shop!
Striped Shirt
This season, think of a striped shirt as your classic white shirt, and pair it with everything from slim black pants, to layered under a tunic dress.
Indigo Jeans
Dark wash jeans are a dressier option than light blue, so you can dress them up for the office and evenings.
Lightweight Trench
Use a lightweight trench to throw over your more trend-driven pieces like printed pants and a turtleneck.
Leather Pencil Skirt
When you're wanting to trial trends like embellished mules, and mesh tops, it's best to keep your base simple, like a simple black leather pencil skirt.
Black Dress
A black dress will prove invaluable this season, and all too often, a simple day-to-night slip is forgotten. This one, with its thicker straps and flattering bias cut, will work with everything you already own.
