SEASONAL CHANGE: AUTUMN WARDROBE

- Michiko Hylands Follow Michiko on Instagram @michikohyl­ands

It’s time to step into a new season, it’s autumn. Embrace this time of year with some stylish wardrobe updates that make the crossover from summer a breeze. This autumn, don’t be afraid of colour. Burnt orange and 50 shades of green look fabulous when worn alone or teamed with natural hues. From beautiful tones of rich claret, the colour palette also includes shades of lilac and soft pink. Opt for an oversized suit in a feminine hue or cut a bold figure in a colourful trench. Add interest by playing with checks and mixing up patterns. Don’t forget that sometimes it’s all about the details: puffy statement sleeves, cute collars, bows and pleats add oomph to any look.

Bobby trench coat in lilac $899 Rumer Belle sleeve top in pink $279 (arriving in stores & online March 11) Freddie flares in olive $429

Stitch pumps in buttercup $499

All from Kate Sylvester

Lilac is a shade that suits many skin tones. For a more elongating effect, wear the trench open and tie the belt at the back.

2

Bacall DB jacket $759 Jackie blouse $549 Tailored shorts $339

All from Helen Cherry

Tailored shorts are a great way to master the art of trans-seasonal dressing. With extra attention on your knees, make them look their best: use a good exfoliator and then apply a hydrating moisturise­r.

Charlie bomber $659 Henry crew $259 Reflect dress $299 All from Kowtow

Sometimes it’s all about how you wear a garment. Add an edge by wearing the bomber jacket over your shoulders like a cape or worn completely off the shoulders in a nonchalant, fashion-forward way.

Chloe shirt $504 Wynonna jacket $1020 Wynonna trousers $599 Claire ankle boots $780

All from Camilla and Marc

Sometimes nothing beats the power of pink — and pink and green are a combo made in heaven. A flattering shade of khaki on your eyes will make them pop.

5

Virginia top in olive plaid $275 Cotton & Eleanor pants in lime sorbet $320 All from Ovna Ovich

A pair of lime green pants is a fun and unexpected wardrobe must-have this autumn. For easy after hour style, team the pants with a T-shirt and high-top trainers.

6

Cellini coat $749

Cellini skirt $319

Both from Ingrid Starnes

Plaid and checks make a welcome return this autumn. When the temperatur­e drops, don a pair of sheer patterned tights and finish off with a chic beret.
