9 Items Your Wardrobe Needs this Season
For autumn/winter, relaxed but elevated styling is paving the way for an effortlessly chic season ahead. And there’s one brand that can help you achieve this covetable aesthetic in just nine pieces…
In partnership with Next
While we love nothing more than unearthing new trends, we don't necessarily recommend building a wardrobe solely upon looks that disappear as quickly as they arrive. The secret to curating an impressive autumn/winter capsule is balancing out these of-the-moment pieces with an edit of never-date basics.
It's important to assemble a selection of solid outfit staples, items that you can pull out on a whim and just know they’ll work together. This will not only save your precious time in your morning routine but also guarantees that every ensemble you wear will feel timeless. And nowhere this season has basics as chic as Next.
Rochelle Humes wears: Camel coat, £125, Next
Next has ticked off just about every trend you can think of for autumn and winter, giving fashion devotees plenty to play with. We also couldn't help but notice just how excellent Next's wardrobe basics are this season. Featuring everything you need to get dressed with ease, we've come up with the ultimate cold-weather capsule for you, consisting of nine Next items that we consider to be everlasting in their appeal.
On top of this, rather excitingly, Next have just launched their latest womenswear edit with broadcaster, entrepreneur and author Rochelle Humes! Her series features gorgeous coats for every occasion, chic knitwear dresses, winter-ready boots, killer heels and those all important party dresses. Another capsule that’s worth considering.
From the coat trend you'll love and wear for years to come and the It knit inspired by a classic top to jeans you'll gladly live in, these pieces are all you need for your most stylish autumn/winter ever.
THE camel COAT
A camel coat is a must during the colder months; it’ll shield you from the inevitable showers, is roomy enough to layer over knitwear, and will make any outfit tenfold cooler. With the addition of a very chic oversize lapel and large pockets, this is by far our favourite of the season.
THE BRETON STRIPE
The classic monochrome stripe gets an autumn/winter update in the form of a knitted sweater, which is proving to be a hot-ticket item with the style set. Wear it with everything you’d normally pair your Bretons with.
THE handsfree bag
If you're going to buy a new bag for the coming season, it should really be one of the cross-body. Not only are they still very popular, but they also allow you to keep your hands tucked into your pockets in the chill. This Ted Baker option is high on our wish list.
THE puffer jacket
Puffer jackets are still going strong this season, and Next certainly has an impressive array to choose from. We recommend investing in a black colour-way, as it’s guaranteed to go with everything else you already own.
THE CLASSIC JEAN
Next denim never disappoints, and this new style from Own denim hits every mark. The shade of blue is incredibly versatile, while the cropped length is ideal for wearing with ankle boots and heels alike.
THE PRETTY BLOUSE
If you live in the jeans and a nice top outfit combination, then we’ve found the perfect blouse to add to your collection. Featuring on-trend ruffles, lace inserts, and a subtle metallic shimmer by way of polka dots, you’ll find yourself reaching for this Oliver Bonas number on the regular.
THE JUMPER DRESS
Just as comfortable as your joggers, only sleeker, a jumper dress is nothing short of essential this season. Wear with backless loafers during the day, heels for after-dark, or, for even more outfit mileage, unbutton it and style it as a long cardigan over jeans and skirts.
THE DENIM MIDI
Denim lovers rejoice! For the days when you need a break from your jeans, instead reach for a denim midi skirt. This black option will look the stylish part paired with everything from white shirts to chunky jumpers.
THE TRACK-SOLE BOOT
Chunky boots with lug soles are still the fashion pack’s boot of choice, and while black pairs will always remain in style, we’ll be snapping up this lighter option for a cool update. These boots come with Next’s Forever Comfort technology built in; trust us, you’ll feel as if you’re walking on air in them.
