Five layers we love for Autumn/Winter

The best thing about the Autumn Winter season? Layering. While giving our skin a hefty (& much needed) dose of vitamin D during the summer has its perks, we can’t deny that the summer to autumn wardrobe switch over is a welcome change. As soon as October 1st hits, our hygge hibernation mode turns on and comfort becomes our number one priority. Give us a cable knit jumper. Give us an oversized puffer. This season we only want to wrap up in layers we truly love and these are our five current faves.

A CHUNKY KNIT

Close your eyes and go to your cosy place. Fire and film on, cup of cocoa in hand, all snuggled up in a classic chunky knit. A knitted jumper is a key staple in Autumn/Winter wardrobes. Wear with comfy joggers and fluffy slippers for lazy days at home or tucked into trusty denim jeans with a leather trench coat thrown over the top when heading out. Choose a classic ‘made-by-grandma’ cream cable knit style or go off-piste with a pastel ombre option.

A LONG SLEEVE TOP

Everyone should have at least one long sleeve top in their wardrobe. Not only is it the perfect layering piece, it's ridiculously versatile. Wear alone on warmer days and under anything and everything during Autumn/Winter. For fancier looks, a long sleeve knitted turtleneck layered under a silky cami top is the pinnacle of autumnal chic. Add a slick of berry red on your lips and gold earrings for a candlelit-dinner-ready look. For everyday, keep warm with dungarees over the top and if it’s really freezing add a coat over the top.

AN APRÉS-CHIC JUMPER

Hit the slopes (or Tescos) in a fair isle print jumper that screams après-chic. A step up from the classic cable knit, this jumper promises cosiness further afield. Whether you’ve booked a ski season or not, add this layer to your basket for the ultimate chalet girl ensemble. With fitted cuffs, subtle balloon sleeves and a chunky neckline, it doesn’t get more snug than this.

A BLANKET SCARF

You’re either a scarf person or you’re not and we’re about to convert you. You can wrap up as warm as you like with jumpers, jeans, winter coats galore but if your neck is exposed we guarantee you’ll still get the shivers. A blanket scarf thrown effortlessly around your neck and over your shoulders will pull together any autumn/winter outfit. It’s the perfect way to add a pop of colour to neutral looks or tone down louder ensembles with a calming beige or classic black.

A COSY CARDIGAN

And finally, no Autumn/Winter wardrobe is complete without a cosy cardi. We’re ready to join the cardi-gang and get truly snuggled up. After their comeback last year (thanks lockdown), cardigans of all shapes and sizes have captured our hearts. Live out your lady-of-the-manor fantasy in a womens long cardigan, your favourite luxe lounge set and fluffy slipper slides. Or go oversized rather than sleek with a womens chunky knit cardigan wrapped over the top of a basic t-shirt and Mom jeans. Just add a steaming cup of coffee and you’re ready for fall.
