Whether you’re swanning off on a European jaunt or are simply looking to expand your quintessential autumn wardrobe, these staples come with endless outfit opportunities
Go Big Or Go Home
Top and Skirt, LOUIS VUITTON
If our clothes don’t come with huge zips then, quite frankly, we don’t want them. Magnified outerwear is taking centre stage right now, particularly at Louis Vuitton where tops and dresses come defined with supersized zips that will be sure to get everyone talking
The Long And Short Of It
Coat, Top, Trousers, Belt and Shoes, SAINT LAURENT
While an oversized coat may not scream autumn in the Middle East, it’s always best to be well-prepared with a style that is heavy, slouchy and on the right side of masculine. Go one size up for that extra relaxed look to help elevate the style
High And Dry
Coat, CHLOE; Jacket and Hooded Sweater, BALMAIN
With an unseasonably wet European season in full force, you’ll want to make sure you keep dry in style during your travels. From Saint Laurent to Chloé, designers are embracing the cocooning appeal of an XXL silhouette, with statement outerwear to put the wow in weekend-casual
Feather Duster
Jacket, Top, Feathered Sleeves and Trousers, JACQUEMUS
With designers falling hard for feathers, we’re filling our wardrobes full of pretty plumes. Case in point? Jacquemus is all about fresh and playful designs that look just as chic worn alone or together, with trims on almost every must-have piece
Tall Order
Dress, Coat and Boots, BOTTEGA VENETA
The more extravagant the better. Dare to ditch the classic black knee-highs in favour of this year’s disco-ready boots. Bottega Veneta’s pair is guaranteed to make all your dance floor dreams come true, teamed with an oversized wool coat for added elegance guaranteed
All Together Now
Jumpsuit, Necklace, Cuffs and Shoes, CHANEL
Jumpsuits require minimum effort for maximal effect. Well suited for the workplace, restaurant or a glamorous destination wedding, this Chanel beauty works for all sartorial situations
Layer Up
Scarf, ALAIA; Coat, DIOR
Layering is all about balance, choosing quality over quantity for well-thought-out looks with a side helping of panache. Keep warm while playing around with your favourite pieces, with Alaïa’s supple white leather scarf a transitional wardrobe staple
Beige Brigade
Jacket and shoes, CELINE; Shirt and trousers, TOD’S; Hat, BALMAIN
As stealth wealth continues to soar, head- to-toe beige is all the rage right now. Work in varying shades including ivory, sand, camel and taupe, and complete the look with Balmain’s oversized cap — it’s the most stylish sun block for 2023
