September signals many things: the start of another season, the ‘fresh start’ of a new school year (even though those days are, for many of us, long gone, the feeling remains) and, for those remotely interested in fashion – it’s time. Yes, the September fashion shows set the style tone for the entire year ahead – the trends on the runways trickling down to the high street and even spotted in the work of independent designers.
While we’re yet to see what comes out of New York, London, Milan and Paris, what we do know is that trends may come and go, but good style lasts a lifetime. And if you are looking to switch up your look as the weather begins to shift, a few new pieces will do the trick. These are the 9 items we’re turning to for a little wardrobe refresh this season...
The Statement Shirt
Heyanno is the new sister label from Danish brand Mos Mosh, carrying forward the same sustainable ethos with a fresh energy. Every fabric is responsibly sourced – like this 100% cotton shirt, a timeless piece that’s well worth the investment for the mileage you’ll get from it. 119,99€, Mos Mosh
The Transitional Jacket
With Jean is fast becoming a go-to for us. The fit is always on point, the silhouettes are flattering, and they make the kind of pieces you always reach for when in doubt. This jacket is proof – the perfect light cover-up for cooler nights (and we love the matching skirt, too). £200, With Jean
The Denim Refresh
Finding the right pair of jeans can be tricky (we’ve all been there). But as the weather starts to cool down, chances are you’ll be reaching for denim more often. And why would you put up with stiff, uncomfortable pairs, when brands like Mother are out there making high-quality denim that feels good to wear? Plus, the stitched detailing take this high-waisted pair to the next level. $310, Mother
The Everywhere Shoe
Get to know Lili Curia, the newly launched premium footwear brand. Designed and crafted between London and Florence and born from a love of vintage treasure hunting and the joy of discovery, we can see this brand becoming a firm favourite this autumn/winter. These sneaker-ballet-pump hybrids are the kind of cute-but-actually-comfortable shoe that will take you from morning commute to a chic dinner with ease. £280, Lili Curia
The All-Day Tote
If you’re on the hunt for a new ‘back to school’ bag (read: something that fits your laptop), this one from Desigual is the one: roomy enough for everything from work bits to your gym kit, but cute enough that you’ll happily take it straight from the office to the bar. £95, Desigual
The Mesh Midi Skirt
We’re currently obsessed with this checked midi skirt from House of Sunny. The sheer design is daring and demure in equal measures – perfect for those in-between days when it’s still warm enough to skip the tights, but cool enough to break out the knee-high boots. £88, House of Sunny
The Statement Headband
If you haven’t jumped on the trend yet, headbands are having a moment – and we’re fully on board. Not only are they perfect for those bad hair days, but ones like this from Cielle are seriously cute. £49, Cielle
The Stackable Hoops
These gold vermeil huggies are an effortless addition to any jewellery collection – stackable, easy to mix and match, and the perfect little pressie for someone special. Jewells, we’ll take them in every colour, please! £59, Jewells
The Sock Upgrade
While it’s tempting to hide your favourite cosy socks under your autumn boots, might we suggest a stylish swap? Swedish Stockings’ lace knee-highs are an easy win – with a range of colours to choose from, style them peeking out from under jeans, with ballet flats, or on show with dresses and skirts. £27, Swedish Stockings
