Tailoring is a great choice if you're looking for a polished winter look. Just add a wool coat for extra warmth.
It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in neutral knitwear and the same black boots. While you can't beat a classic, if you're looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Grece Ghanem, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until early next year––yes, we're already thinking ahead to 2025 looks.
Many of these key items you'll already own, such as roll necks jumpers and classic blazers, but you can make your autumn wardrobe more 2024 with cream boots, field jackets and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn't mean you have to spend the next three months in boring and unadventurous outfits.
These are the 13 autumn/winter outfit ideas and combinations that you can turn to as the weather gets cooler.
1. SUEDE JACKET + JUMPER + MAXI SKIRT
Style Notes: If you invest in one thing this season, make it a suede jacket. The style of the season, it'll be your cover-up of choice for so many outfits. But I love it with a maxi skirt.
Shop the look:
This high street hero item is selling out at record speed.
A forever buy.
It's all about those longer lengths as temperatures drop.
2. CARDIGAN + T-SHIRT + MIDI SKIRT
Style Notes: No need to pack away all your warm-weather separates, instead, just do some clever layering. Love how Dawn has added a cosy cardigan to a white midi skirt and flats combo.
Shop the look:
Love the shape of this one.
One of the best white T-shirts around.
It also comes in black.
3. OVERSIZED COAT + SCARF + KITTEN HEELS
Style Notes: See how a silk scarf creates a whole new fancy feel to a simple coat and jeans look? It'll keep the wind away away from your ears, too.
Shop the look:
This is bound to sell out.
So many styling opportunities to be had.
They'll elevate any outfit.
4. STRIPED SHIRT + WIDE-LEG JEANS + JUMPER
Style Notes: Let this be your reminder that a "just in case" jumper will be your best friend from now on. Chic around your shoulders, it'll be there ready and waiting over your classic outfit whenever it gets chilly.
Shop the look:
Love the contrasting cuffs on this one.
The bigger the better.
A classic to love all season.
5. PUFFER COAT + TAILORED TROUSERS
Style Notes: When it comes to cold weather dressing, a puffer coat is always a safe bet. To add an elevated twist, pair with tailored trousers and pointed boots.
Shop the look:
As cosy as it looks.
A wardrobe staple.
These are seriously sleek.
6. TIGHTS + MINI SKIRT + CABLE KNIT JUMPER + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: Winter dressing isn't all jeans and jumpers, mini skirts can also work with the handy addition of tights and knee-high boots. Add a chic cable-knit sweater (and a coat if it's really cold) and you're good to go.
Shop the look:
&Daughter always has the best knitwear.
A preppy touch.
Good tights are a winter essential.
Such a comfy heel height.
7. LEATHER TROUSERS + STRIPED JUMPER
Style Notes: Leather trousers are a wintertime staple. Update yours by opting for a coloured pair with a striped jumper and chunky boots for a fresh feel.
Shop the look:
Here to brighten up any day of the week.
Invest in a great pair of leather trousers now, and you'll re-wear them every year.
These boots will elevate any outfit
8. LONG COAT + LEATHER TROUSERS
Style Notes: A classic ensemble, sure. But add a pair of fancy heels, and you've got the ideal going-out autumn/winter look.
Shop the look:
Jigsaw brings this classic back each year.
A great vegan leather style.
Chic.
9. FIELD JACKET + VEST TOP + COMFY TROUSERS
Style Notes: A field jacket is the perfect transitional style, and it's very 2024. Wear with comfy trousers (like Monikh) and a vest top for autumn. For winter, just layer over chunky knits.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Well done, Mango.
Every wardrobe should have a great pair of black comfy trousers.
It comes in so many colours.
10. PASTEL COAT + BALLET FLATS
Style Notes: Ballet flats are still huge news, no matter the season. Embrace the dainty feel of these shoes by pairing them with a soft pastel coat for a pretty take on autumn/winter dressing.
Shop the look:
This will get compliments wherever you go.
Keep the soft feel going with a light pink pumps.
You needn't save your best jewels for after-dark only.
11. CREAM COAT + CREAM BOOTS
Style Notes: If you prefer minimalist looks, then a neutral coat should be part of your wardrobe. To keep it feeling fresh, look for modern designs and add matchy-matchy cream boots for a nice finishing touch.
Shop the look:
Wear loose, or cinch with the belt.
Fashion editors are huge fans of the criss cross style––for good reason.
A forever favourite.
12. NAVY COAT + JEANS + BLACK ANKLE BOOTS
Style Notes: There's nothing wrong with this tried-and-tested classic outfit. It's forever chic, and you'll always find other pieces in your wardrobe to wear it with.
Shop the look:
Navy is just as timeless as black.
The lighter wash contrasts the navy coat beautifully.
Streamlined boots are back for 2024.
13. KNITTED DRESS + WOOL BLAZER + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: A knitted dress is the perfect office-to-dinner outfit. Like Annabel, pair yours with burgundy and brown luxe accessories like knee-high boots and a bowling bag before finishing the look off with a wool blazer. Perfection!
Shop the look:
You can also wear this with trainers at the weekend.
If I could have any wool blazer this year, it would be this one. Just stunning and so timeless.
I love a knee-high boot with a mini skirt and tights too.
Stunning.
