Autumn is the season to try new trends and adopt a style of sophistication before bundling up for the winter. However, autumn weather can be confusing for our wardrobes. We would overheat in winter jackets but would freeze in short sleeve tops; so we need to be smart with our outfit choices. Below are some great tips on how to create an autumn wardrobe that will allow you to look and feel cool, confident and comfortable all the time.

Colour Palette

When selecting pieces of clothing for your autumn wardrobe, focus on clothes that fit the autumn colour palette. Dark, warm, earthy colours such as navy, grey, browns, burnt orange or olive green are some examples. You want the clothes you wear to be expressive and a true reflection of how you feel: autumn colours do this in a classic, elegant and flattering way.

Shoes

Whilst it is not winter quite yet, your autumn wardrobe does need to include a few winter accessories… such as boots! Boots are the perfect shoe for winter and autumn because they not only protect your feet from the cold, but they also protect them from the rain… something we will get a lot of over the next many months! Boots look great when worn with a comfy pair of woollen socks and paired with jeans. They are not only functional, but they look smart too.

 

Outwear

Autumn outwear acts as a statement piece and helps to balance an outfit. It is a good idea to have a few different types of outwear so that you have one for every type of occasion. A raincoat, duffel coat, pea coat, down coat and topcoat are just a few of the many styles available for men.

 

Knitwear

If it is still a little warm for heavy jumpers, then a lightweight knit piece is the perfect alternative. Merino wool, breathable cotton blends, and plush cashmere are all great materials that will help your body to control its temperature so that you are neither hot nor cold.

 

Layers

One of the best things about autumn fashion is layering. Instead of choosing singular heavy items of clothing, like a bulky coat, wear multiple thin layers; such as a shirt or tee, a lightweight jumper and a jacket. Not only does this allow you to keep up a smart appearance, but it also gives you the freedom to easily add or remove a layer as your body temperature changes throughout the day.
