Massimo Dutti's New Drop Is the Chic Autumn Starter Kit We've Been Waiting for

Being in the fashion game for as long as I have, you start to develop a knack for spotting hidden gems. I look for great pieces and affordable finds in some unexpected places (and often, the stores that have the best steals are the ones that shout about it the least), but one brand I keep coming back to for designer-looking pieces that are always worth every penny is Massimo Dutti

For those unfamiliar with Zara's stylish big sister, Massimo Dutti has the same fashion-forward focus, albeit with slightly more polish. Whilst you might turn to Zara for bandeau tops, embellished jeans and fun accessories, Massimo Dutti speaks in a quiet-luxury palette of neutrals, and specialises in the kind of wardrobe staples you'll want to wear for years to come.

The new-in section throws out a staggering number of premium pieces that I immediately want to add to my basket. Knitted co-ords? You bet. Leather dresses? Absolutely. Elevated trench coats and bomber jackets? Check, and check. In short, in the space of just five minutes of browsing, I came away with a complete autumn-ready wardrobe that I need to tell everyone about.

So it's lucky for you, reader, that you've stumbled across what is about to become my worst-kept secret. These are the very best pieces from Massimo Dutti for autumn 2023, and I'm sure you'll agree, everything on the list is perfect for a very chic few months ahead. 

1. TRANSITIONAL JACKETS AND COATS

The perfect pairing with a white tee and blue jeans.

I didn't realise how much I wanted a denim jacket until right now. 

What's better than a trench? A leather one, of course. 

How to make a bomber feel evening-appropriate.

2. VERSATILE TOPS AND KNITS

You'll wear this through every season. 

I'm waistcoat-obsessed, and with styles like this, it's easy to see why.

3. ELEGANT DRESSES

A maxi shirt-dress will never go out of style. 

4. PRACTICAL BOTTOMS

I've never seen a pair of pin-tucked, wide-leg trousers that I didn't like.

Wear with jumpers, shirts, cardigans, T-shirts, waistcoats, tank tops…

A little on the pricier side, but worth the investment for quality leather.

These look so good in unexpected cocoa brown.

5. STANDOUT ACCESSORIES

All the impact of heels without the need for plasters.

Big enough to carry all of your essentials and more.

Just imagine this with a crisp, white shirt and tailored trousers.
