@claire_mostStyle Notes: According to the runways, grey is having a moment right now, and what could be a better pairing with black than a colour in the same spectrum? There's something about black and grey that says you mean business (without the need for pinstripes). Expect to see much more of this combination this autumn.

Easily my favourite slip skirt on the market right now.
Such a good shape for those who don't like skinny trousers.

@emilisindlevStyle Notes: Following on with another runway favourite, hot red is the punchy tone blowing Barbiecore pink out of the water this season, and coal black is naturally the best way to keep those fiery reds burning. Team bright tops with subdued bottoms or make a statement in a red skirt or trousers with a does-it-all black jacket. And don't forget red accessories.

The It bag of the season also comes in spicy red.
When you're bored of regular suit blazers, try a leather iteration.

@hannastefanssonStyle Notes: And the award for autumn 2023's most discussed colour goes to… buttermilk yellow. After a dark spring and fleeting summer it seems only fitting that we'd want to bring the sunshine into our wardrobes with this undeniably happy colour, and for those who find pastels too saccharine, adding tough black gives this floaty shade some weight. If it's good enough for Christopher Kane, Tove, Jil Sander and Givenchy…

Ideal with sandals in the summer and with a trench and knee-high boots in the autumn.
Sure, we all own a white shirt, but what about a yellow one?

@tylynnnguyenStyle Notes: It just wouldn't be autumn without rusty browns, deep oranges, and of course, khaki greens. Over in beauty, olive green has become the breakout nail trend (a testament to the chic colour's wearability), but it's been long overdue a fashion revival since the return of the cargo trouser. Khaki green accessories are now popping up on the designer market (thanks largely to Loewe), so when in doubt, add a tote or a coat to an all-black outfit to give it a point of interest.

Well done, Jigsaw. This coat deserves our full attention.
The easiest dress-up or dress-down style I've seen in ages.
Loewe's Puzzle Fold Tote comes in three block colours and three two-tone colourways, but the khaki is my favourite.
I honestly thought this was designer until I saw the price.

@kimturkington_Style Notes: Camel is one of those colours (like black) that I'm confident will go with anything, but putting the two together is a masterclass in quiet-luxury styling. As these two muted tones complement each other rather than clash, the result is a soothing, palette-cleansing combination that's almost impossible to get wrong, and it's likely you already have enough pieces in each colour to mix and match endless outfits.

A strong contender for best leather ankle boots of all time.

@modedamourStyle Notes: A classic pairing so timeless it almost goes without saying, black and cream is like the, well… strawberries and cream of the fashion world. Black and white might feel like the obvious choice, but stark white can almost be too bright (and a nightmare to keep clean), so turn up the warmth in rich shades of magnolia and ivory for a luxurious look that minimalists will love.

Wear this blazer again and again with jeans, leggings, midi skirts, shorts, wide-leg trousers…
