Despite the fact that we're about to experience a heatwave in September, I'm only thinking about autumn and what to wear this coming season. Give me knitwear, boots and denim over summer dresses any day. I decided to hit up some of the coolest women on Instagram I could think of, whose style I often look to for inspiration. They're mostly quite minimalist dressers but with a twist, which is how I like it. Not only did these five women all give me great outfit ideas, but they also picked some interesting pieces, some of which I never would have thought of.
In the shopping picks below, you'll find gorgeous jewellery that is sure to be lifetime-proof as well as classic handbags that will be great for any occasion. But it's not just designer wares you'll find. There are also great high-street gems in the mix, from a gorgeous Arket jumper that looks way more expensive than its £69 price to a COS blazer that's the perfect oversized shape for this coming season (and way beyond). Keep scrolling to find out more about these super-chic women and what they're hoping to buy this autumn.
Jordan-Risa Santos
