How to master autumn fashion, tips and tricks

Before going into creating your new season outfit, let’s have a look at some fashion elements that can help you master autumn fashion.

When it comes to colours, autumn offers a rich palette of warm, earthy tones. Think shades of brown, rust, olive, and mustard, as well as deep jewel tones like burgundy and navy. These colours not only look great on most skin tones but also help create a cozy, autumn feel.

In terms of fabrics, look for materials that are soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear. Natural materials like cotton, wool, and silk are great choices; they’re durable and offer a range of textures and patterns. Synthetic materials like polyester and nylon are also good options, as they are often lightweight (perfect for layering) and easy to care for.

Flaunt what you’ve got

One of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing new autumn outfits is to embrace your age and body shape. Don’t feel like you have to hide behind shapeless clothing or boring colours. Instead, choose pieces that highlight your best features and make you feel confident and comfortable.

For example, if you have a smaller frame, opt for fitted jackets or cardigans that accentuate your waistline. If you have a curvier figure, look for flowy dresses or wide-leg pants that create a flattering silhouette. And if you’re tall, don’t be afraid to experiment with bold prints or patterns that show off your height.

Building your autumn outfit

Layers

This cooler season is the perfect time to experiment with textures and layers. Start with a base layer, such as a simple t-shirt or long-sleeved top, and build from there.

One of the most versatile autumn pieces is a jacket. A good jacket can elevate any outfit and keep you warm and stylish throughout the season. Look for jackets with interesting details, such as buttons or pockets, and choose colours that complement your skin tone. Leather or suede jackets are always a classic choice, but if you prefer something lighter, a denim or bomber jacket can be just as chic.

Sweaters are another staple for the season and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Like jackets, look for sweaters with striking details, such as cable-knit patterns or textured fabrics. Cardigans are another great option, as they can be worn open or closed and offer a bit of extra warmth on cooler days.

Pants and dresses

When it comes to bottoms, we recommend choosing ones with stretchy materials or elasticated waistbands for maximum comfort. Wide-leg trousers are a great option, as they offer both style and comfort. Pair them with a simple top and a statement necklace for a chic look.

Dresses are also a great option for autumn as they can be layered with jackets and scarves (and stockings depending on how cold it may be!) for a stylish and comfortable outfit. Look for dresses with long sleeves and interesting details, such as ruffles, embroidery or prints. Wrap dresses are a favourite for us, as they offer a flattering fit and are versatile for any occasion.

Accessories

Accessories are an important part of any wardrobe. But when it comes to Autumn, we get to change up which accessories we’re using!

Hats and cute beanies are a great way to keep your head warm and add a bit of extra style to your outfit. Look for ones in neutral colours like beige or grey, and choose materials like wool or felt for maximum warmth.

A statement necklace or pair of earrings can also elevate your outfit by adding a bit of extra sparkle to your outfit.

And last but not least, you can’t forget the essential autumn accessory: a scarf. Not only do they keep your neck warm, but they can also add a pop of colour or texture to your outfit. Opt for soft, lightweight materials like silk or cashmere, and choose prints or patterns that complement your outfit. If you prefer a more classic look, a plain, neutral-coloured scarf is always a stylish choice.

Shoes

When it comes to footwear, comfort is key. As we age, our feet may become more sensitive, so it’s important to choose shoes that are both comfortable and stylish. Ankle boots are a great choice for autumn, as they offer both support and coverage. Look for boots with a low heel and a sturdy sole for maximum comfort. If you prefer something more casual, a pair of fresh  sneakers or loafers can be just as stylish.

Ultimately, the trick to creating a successful seasonal wardrobe is to choose pieces that make you feel confident, comfortable, and stylish.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles, patterns, and textures to create a look that is uniquely you. Whether you prefer classic pieces or trendier styles, there are plenty of fashion options that are perfect for mature women.

So embrace your age, and let your fashion choices reflect the beautiful, confident woman you are!
