@florriealexanderStyle Notes: First, there's no denying that saffron red is having a moment. The bold hue could be spotted even from outside the shops, punctuating the new-in sections with vibrancy. I'll be honest; I've never really engaged with red. As someone who has pink-toned skin, I wrote it off as not for me, but this exact shade that keeps cropping up is a universally good tone, and I actually left this try-on with a new infatuation with the hue. Plus, wearing a standout shade definitely makes you feel powerful.
If you're new to bold colours, ease in through accessories like shoes.
Swap your classic black blazer for a striking saffron shade this season.
From the colour to the balloon sleeves, this dress will make an entrance.

@florriealexanderStyle Notes: For many of us fans of neutrals, we too often turn to black for ease. But if you're looking to rejuvenate your selection of classic shades, brown should be a contender. Stepping into M&S, I immediately honed in on a slinky midaxi skirt and then found this exquisite faux-leather biker jacket, which deserves a special mention for the quality alone. As I strolled through other stores, I kept spotting this deep chocolate shade in all iterations from coats to trousers and a plethora of excellent accessories, too.
This lightweight faux-leather is the softest I've ever felt. Fact.
A sleek satin slip can be dressed up or down for all occasions.
One of my favourite colour combinations is brown and blue, so style these up with your favourite blue jeans.
I tried these on too, and the drape is truly brilliant.
The fluid shape and fabric feel so expensive.

@florriealexanderStyle Notes: The next shade I fell for was grey. No, not a groundbreaking hue in and of itself, but right now the high street is offering so many expensive-looking grey pieces that it can't possibly be overlooked. Unlike the array of light greys we see all year, as we move into the cooler months, thick wool styles in deeper grey weaves are taking centre stage. And this dress proves how impactful this neutral can really be.
The dress I tried is now sold out, but this is a solid alternative.
For work, relaxing or eveningwear, you'll restyle this pair on so many occasions.

@florriealexanderStyle Notes: Last but far from least, a classic autumnal shade has been revived for the new season. Deeper than trending saffron, burgundy tones with added notes of plum look elevated at any price point. From tailored silhouettes to relaxed styles, I spotted (and tried on) lots of great high-street burgundy pieces for autumn, and I'll admit that a few of them came home with me.
I also tried on this gorgeous burgundy coat from Whistles, and haven't stopped thinking about it since.
Anthropologie's knitted dress selection is so strong right now.
I stopped in my tracks when I spotted this suit.
Shop the matching Relaxed Tailored Trousers in Plum (£110).
If you told me this was designer, I'd believe you.
