And Now, Every Perfect Item on Our Fashion Editors' Autumn Wish Lists

Do we, the Who What Wear editors, share one mind? Before compiling this, the autumn wish list of all autumn wish lists (it never hurts to get ahead, right?), I would have said no. We each have distinctly different aesthetics and rarely double-up on purchases unless it’s something classic like a Loewe straw tote or something equally as versatile. But if you see the pieces each of our editors, myself included, have their eyes on for autumn, you would be forgiven for assuming we conferred about our choices before submitting them. This wasn’t the case. It does, however, reinforce the idea that autumn is going to be all about a particular kind of aesthetic.
Binding our edits together are pops of bold green, suede in all forms, knitwear with a contemporary touch, timeless handbags and elevated tailoring. Some brands recur, too, and scrolling through our wish lists will hopefully give you a clear idea of what’s going to be on-trend and in style this autumn. Scroll on to see seven fashion editors' autumn wish lists to inspire your own new-season shopping list.

You could argue that Sienna Miller influenced me to buy this trench coat but in all honesty, even without the celebrity endorsement, you cannot deny this piece of outerwear is pure perfection!

3. Brittany Davy, Editorial Assistant
Shop Brittany's Wish List:
I’ve been looking everywhere for the perfect suede tote and Métier's 'Private Eye' bag did not disappoint. Not only does it give the “quiet luxury” vibes I’m always looking to emulate come autumn time, but it’s roomy enough to fit everything I need. Whether going to the office or out with friends, I’ll get so much use out of this tote.
Chocolate brown leather will be everywhere this autumn, and Mango has already hopped on the trend with everything from belts and handbags to boots and jackets. I especially love the straight-leg trousers in this shade, and I’ll be wearing them as a softer alternative to black in the upcoming season.

Shop Florrie's Wish List:
A pair of ballet flats has been high up on my wish list for a few months now, and Alohas has me finally ready to commit. The elegant square-toe and sweet bow details bring a timeless feel to this pair that will seamlessly blend with my tailoring, denim, dresses and more.
7. Poppy Nash, Managing Editor
Shop Poppy's Wish List:
I love dresses all year round, and every autumn I look to invest in a versatile style that will see me through the cold weather and all the way to next spring. This DÔEN number fits the bill and will look so chic with brown suede boots and a trench coat, but also works with sandals and a basket bag.
Is it bad that I'm already thinking about my Christmas wish list? Ideally I'd be able to add this amazing cuff to my collection before then, but if not, I'm really hoping this is waiting for me under the tree this year! It's an investment, yes, but I just know it's a forever piece that I'll reach for time and time again, before handing it down to my children, too.
