Style Notes: There are so many reasons to embrace the brilliantly versatile jumpsuit. First, it's more effortless than a dress. Second, it can be dressed up or down, and third, it flatters every body type. Make room for any jumpsuit style this autumn. You could even go for one with tailored details like the above, which features statement utility-style pockets.

Style Notes: If you've been hankering after a classic trench, may we point you in the direction of one with an unusual twist? Whether it's oversized, deconstructed or cape-like, you'll reap the benefits of being able to chuck it over anything in unpredictable weather while cutting quite the dash.
The colour blocking gives this trench the edge.

@anoukyveStyle Notes: Okay, so you mightn't need rubberised, track-sole, waterproof knee boots just yet, but seeing as this specific style is set to be the most popular of the season, it pays to secure yours early.

@emmarosestyleStyle Notes: How can you add edge to your transeasonal looks? With a touch of leather. Whether it's a pencil skirt or a coat, nothing screams Londoner attire like this edgy fabrication.
Pair this with a mesh top and heeled boots for an on-trend evening ensemble.

@ch.phr8phStyle Notes: There's no easier way to add power to your look than with a statement piece of jewellery. And the look that just keeps on gaining traction? Big, chunky chain necklaces and bracelets.
I always gravitate toward Laura Lombardi jewellery.

Style Notes: If you're after a new handbag, go hands-free and loop a cross-body over your shoulder. We're particularly fond of the slouchy banana-shaped iterations.
A bag that covers all the bases, regardless of the season.

@smythsistersStyle Notes: This year, wide-leg trousers continue to be all the rage. They're comfortable and chic in equal amounts, so it's easy to understand why. Make like Marianne and wear yours with a knitted tank (coming right up) for perhaps the most 2023 autumn ensemble.
The Frankie Shop tailoring is like gold dust—almost impossible to find in stock.

Style Notes: Though checks are always on the London style agenda, none feel quite as British-cool as tartan. Whether you choose to wear it from head to toe or simply mix it in with a plaid top, don't be afraid to experiment with clashing several iterations at once.
This is crying out to be styled with sleek knee-high boots.

Style Notes: We promised you that knitted vests would make our edit, and just as well, as they're the one piece all London fashion types, regardless of their personal aesthetics, seem to agree upon. They're ideal for wearing under even the most fitted outerwear, owning to their sleeveless cut, so they are the ultimate layering piece for autumn.
Wear this sans anything underneath now, then with a roll-neck in a contrasting colour when temperatures drop.

Style Notes: The ripple effects of the Y2K aesthetic cement tube dresses as the need-to-know (and own) dress style right now. Look for knitted fabrications that’ll carry you through the colder months.
You'll also find this comes in an autumn-ready burgundy, and expensive-looking cream.
