The October Issue

The boots, bags and coats on my radar. Knitwear brands I love. A luxury brand with an accessible price-point and styling ideas straight from the runway.

Autumn is in full swing, and I love the cold, crisp mornings and (occasional) blue skies. It’s my favourite season for getting dressed—not too hot, not too cold. I’m making the most of wearing my blazers and ballet pumps while it’s still mild enough. I ordered a pair of Le Monde Beryl Mary-Jane’s last week- a great alternative when you don’t want to wear heels but need something smarter than trainers (true to size). I will be asking Pin Denim to source me a few pairs of vintage Levi’s to update my denim collection; the best way to do this is to send inspo pics of the jeans styles you love and let Chloe do her thing. I’m very much enjoying wearing my suede blazer from De Savary and trying to resist the Cleo jacket from Blazé Milano, a stunning suede bomber, because how many suede pieces do you need when you live in the UK?

October Style Tip

Have a seasonal refresh.

This month, I’m thinking about the pieces that will carry me through A/W—those I reach for repeatedly and make up the core of my wardrobe. A good coat, a staple boot, high-quality knitwear, and a timeless bag will be my core uniform all season long. A few years ago, I focused on those pieces in my wardrobe and started to think about quality over quantity. I edited down my selection and made sure what I bought would be worn repeatedly and still feel super special. Simplicity is often the key to longevity in your wardrobe. I spoke in The September Issue about having the right ingredients to make getting dressed as easy as possible, so for The October Issue, I’m breaking down the four biggest investments you can make for your Autumn wardrobe and what I look for.
