Autumn Fashion

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 now, having seen the pieces each of our editors, myself included, have their eye 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 go aesthetic. Binding our edits together are pops of bold green, dresses with simple silhouettes in knitted fabrications, jewellery with sparkl...

When you work in fashion, it’s hard to live in the moment. We’re constantly being presented with new collections ahead of time, and as such, the lines can blur between seasons, especially between spring, summer and autumn. However, living in Britain makes this easier. We all know the weather can change at a second’s notice here, so although we get a handful of glorious sunny days across the peak months of July and August, you’re never more than a dark cloud away from a downpour or a celsius dip. This means that thinking ahead to autumn, even at this stage in the year, is more than acceptable. Autumn will bring with it a whole host of new trends to try, but you don’t necessarily need to wait until the end of September to try them. While consulting our bumper au...

The sorry fact is that we just can’t rely on sunshine and soaring temperatures during the British summertime. We just can’t. That is why we thought it might be useful to bring these outfits to your attention. Though it’s far too early to talk about autumn, we’re applying the same principles for dressing for that season to see us through the cooler days we’ll inevitably experience over the next few months. Like autumn, off days in the summertime may require quite a bit of planning. Jacket or no jacket? How many layers are too many layers? Although it might seem pessimistic of us (we’re still holding out for a glorious summer), this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what you’ll wear when the weather turns. The below outfits include several classics that yo...

Euphoria—the costumes, the cast, the makeup, the wild lifestyles—felt omnipresent throughout the shows. The throngs of young fans hopeful of getting a peek of Jacob Elordie or Sydney Sweeney walking into a fashion show seemed to be larger than ever. But there’s no denying the big pink attention-seeking elephant in the room—TikTok and youth-driven pop culture is the dominant force for autumn/winter’s look. The perception of TikTok is that it’s the place where “extra af” has found its natural home and that no Y2K stone will be left unturned. To a point that is true, but I would argue that the platform offers much more across personal style, subcultures and age groups, and I think that it’s actually this diversity and freedom o...

It’s been a tough few years for the Great British high street, with every month seeing different challenges, from lockdowns to lay-offs. Yet behind the media coverage, Marks and Spencer (surely one of the longest-standing members of the affordable fashion community) is continuing to do what it does best: deliver timeless, well-executed staples for the shopping public. When it comes to fashion, spring is always a tricky time of year as temperatures become somewhat inconsistent, but it’s safe to say that the air is getting warmer by the day. Anything we invest in now has to be versatile and adaptable for whatever the seasonal weather throws at us, and M&S has the solution. Its online store is packed full of time...

When it comes to putting together a killer outfit, there’s truly no better time of year for getting dressed than autumn. Cold weather is prime time for getting our creative juices flowing and experimenting with layers. It’s not so freezing that we need to be fully bundled up at all times, yet it’s chilly enough to wear our favourite pieces without breaking a sweat. What makes for a chic autumnal ensemble worth showing off, you ask? All of our go-to outerwear trends such as leather trench coats and oversize blazers; warm, go-with-everything neutrals; a few pops of colour and prints; and plenty of cosy-yet-polished knits. I scoured my feed and rounded up the most photogenic autumn outfits of 2021 to give you a bit of sartorial in...

It might have just turned November, but as it’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related, we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has already taken over Instagram this winter. Bravo, The Frankie Shop. You’ve only gone and created another cult cold-weather buy in the form of your Quilted Ripstock Jacket. Naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from, too—the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets.

For the longest time, I only had eyes for block-heel ankle boots; no other boot style got a look in. However, a few years ago, I invested in the first knee-high boots I’d had since my teens, and they were a game changer. Aside from jeans, I very rarely wear trousers. Nine times out of 10, you’ll catch me wearing a midi dress. And after years of enduring chilly calves and not-quite-right hemlines and boot heights, knee boots swooped in and made every outfit (read: dress) I wore so much chicer and more put-together. Fast-forward to 2021, and I currently have four pairs of knee-high boots in my footwear rotation: an on-trend chunky pair from M&S, which I bought as soon as I saw them on editor Emma Spedding; a beige suede option from Sézane, which I invested in hoping i...

What are these nine pieces, you ask? For your viewing and shopping pleasure, I’ve listed them for you below, section by section, along with the items on my wish list populating it. Perhaps I’m biased, but I think the strongest finds from H&M always err on being classic and timeless, the sort you can pull out of your wardrobe each year and not feel passé. However, with a few on-trend aesthetics thrown in for good measure—here’s looking at you, checkerboard prints—it feels like the perfect autumn/winter 2021 capsule.

Compared to the escapism of party pieces, pondering one’s coat-and-jumper pairings for the winter months might not seem like the most glamorous wardrobe endeavour. Yet in our experience, when the mercury drops, we are in need of sartorial pick-me-ups that brighten up even the gloomiest of days. It always helps when fashion designers deliver delicious, endorphin-filled collections that are chock-a-block with saturated colourways and vibrant prints.

We’re into that funny time of year where it’s not quite warm per se, and it’s not quite layering up for winter time. Autumn, that’ll be it. And although we love this season for the leaves (the leaves!), it can be a difficult one to dress for. Transitional, in-betweeny seasons always are, but let’s look at the positives: it’s the perfect temperature for wearing a blazer without a coat on top, you can still wear a dress with chunky boots and no tights, and if you go out for the evening you can get away with a slinky outfit (and maybe a leather jacket) without the risk of freezing. Luckily Nasty Gal has just launched a new drop of transitional pieces; it’s as if they knew we were in need of inspiration. There’s a healthy dose of ‘autumn cosy’– including some perfect knit dresses, re...

While I already have a couple hanging in my wardrobe, with winter rapidly approaching, I’ve decided to treat myself to a new knitted dress or two, prioritising those with long-sleeves to maximum cosy points. Handily, there are so many impressive styles to choose from. In case you, too, are on the hunt for the perfect long-sleeve knitted dress, I’ve whipped up an edit of my favourite knitted frocks for you below. Yes, there are 27 of them, but what can I say? Brands have outdone themselves on the dress front this year. With a long-sleeve knitted dress in every shape and shade imaginable, scroll below to see them all in their wintry glory. All you need to do is add your go-to boots, and you’re all set. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we...
