Autumn is almost upon us after a final blaze of summer heat, and it’s time for the seasonal switch-up. As someone who has spent many mornings standing in front of her wardrobe questioning what to wear, I’ve decided to begin the new season by planning out a few key looks that can be called upon in times of need. With these trusty outfit blueprints on standby, getting ready for whatever the day holds is going to be that much easier. This autumn, I’ve turned to the British high street to create these reliable looks, and where better to start than Marks & Spencer? With Sienna Miller as the face of the autumn campaign, it’s sure to be a winning collection.
Even though I’ve worked in the fashion industry for years, switching from summer to autumn can feel like a daunting styling task. Not only are we reuniting with soft knitwear, jackets and chunky boots that haven’t been summoned for many months, there are also the year-round staples that can be restyled for chillier temperatures. With all that in mind, finding inspiration to layer up whilst also looking stylish and dressing for the unpredictable British weather can feel like no small feat. But thankfully, Marks & Spencer’s new-in section is filled with expensive-looking pieces that will have people asking, “Where did you get that?” all season.
Like many of us, I’ve long been a fan of M&S for its high quality and reasonable prices. Covering everything from timeless basics to fresh tailoring and even directional, trend-led finds, there’s something for everyone, especially in this latest collection. To help inspire your style for the months ahead, I’ve assembled four autumnal outfits from M&S’s latest drop that will have you covered from low-key weekends to work and evenings out.
Each outfit relies on hard-working staples that can be mixed and matched throughout your wardrobe, like a chic striped shirt that can be thrown on with jeans or elevated with tailored trousers for work. You’ll also find expensive-looking jackets and boots that will command a place in your wardrobe for years to come, rounded off with versatile classics like a white tee and favourite jeans that slot seamlessly into your outfits.
