It almost feels as if the change happened overnight, but after yet another chilly day, it's clear that autumn is officially upon us. Although it's tough to say goodbye to summer, there's something about autumnal fashion that we love to celebrate. (Hello, cosy layering. Goodbye, sunburn.) Every year, as the new season rolls around, we're happy to hang up our summer dresses if it means a welcome return to comfort dressing. Sure, the weather might be unpredictable, but the change in temperature does mean one good thing: The new autumn/winter collections have arrived, and with them comes the excitement of a very stylish season ahead. It just so happens that we've found the best place to turn to for a new-season refresh of established designers, rising stars and timeless classics, and that's Fenwick.
The heritage department store is home to over 180 brands online including some of our favourite contemporary designers like Rejina Pyo, Self Portrait, The Vampire's Wife and Victoria Beckham, and while we might have spent our summer refining our wardrobes into a concise capsule of functional pieces, Fenwick's drop is just too good to condense. It ticks off everything from wool coats to wearable separates from the brands you know and love, and it's just landed on the site.
In a bid to help you find the best pieces from Fenwick's extensive range, we've scrolled through hundreds of new-in items to bring you the pieces we think you'll truly love. Expect plenty of knit dresses, cosy jumpers, transitional coats and of course, the finishing-touch accessories that help make an outfit. So keep scrolling for the new-season must-haves we're adding to our baskets now.
TRANSITIONAL COATS
The classic trench with a high-fashion edge.
As the weather gets cooler, layer up a light trench with a cosy knit.
When it comes to classic coats, a belted wrap coat always comes to mind. Especially in a timeless black colourway.
TRENDING DRESSES
It might look like the perfect summer dress, but you can wear this throughout autumn, too. Just add a turtleneck and knee-high boots.
Knit dresses are at the top of our agenda this season, and this a strong contender for the best one we've seen as of late.
A modern take on the LBD is the sculptural midi. Not only can you dress it up for evening, but the clever cut-outs show just enough skin while keeping you covered.
Is there any better brand for wedding-guest dresses than Self Portrait? If you're looking for the perfect event dress, your search is over.
And speaking of events, the best way to step into party season is in bold colours and exaggerated shapes. And if this emerald green doesn't say "hostess with the mostess", nothing will.
COVETABLE KNITWEAR
Fluffy mohair knits were all over the autumn/winter 2022 runways, and we love this striped jumper with plenty of personality.
This cable-knit sweater is elevated with a ribbed bodice that nips in at the waist.
Whoever said knitwear can't be fashion-forward hadn't seen this Proenza Schouler cut-out sweater.
While it's not technically a knit, this Self Portrait top deserves an honourable mention for being the perfect top to wear under a fluffy jumper as well as its score on the chic factor. Whether you wear it with jeans or a midi skirt, the Peter Pan collar makes any outfit look instantly more polished.
VERSATILE SEPARATES
Not quite a skirt, but not quite a pair of shorts—either way, we're calling it now: Culottes might just be the best pairing for this season's knee-high boot.
There's something timelessly elegant about an A-line midi skirt, but updating it in slick, olive faux leather makes it feel that much more contemporary.
Every wardrobe needs a pair of jeans that'll go with everything, and E.L.V's conscious credentials make these the most versatile and sustainable jeans on the market.
It's about time track pants shook off their rep as laid-back sportswear. These tailored wide-leg trousers look just as good with knits as a pair of black trousers would, but they have a little more character.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES
Upgrade your everyday hoops with an extra-special detail like pearl drops. They're guaranteed to invite compliments.
If you aren't already familiar with JW Pei's brand of influencer-approved, affordable bags, the Maze is the perfect introduction to the brand's cool-girl aesthetic.
These glossy, candy-coloured chains come in just about every colour you can think of, so layer them with classic, chunky gold pieces to make a real statement.
Yes, you can wear raffia in autumn, so investing in a tote will come in handy now and in the spring and summer, too.
