Pairing a short with knitwear is also a recurring theme amongst A/W trends; it gives another, more interesting, way to wear knit rather than pairing with denim, jeans, or trousers. The beautiful statement print of the knit jazzes up an otherwise neutral outfit, taking a little Missoni styling and adding it into daywear.

Capes are one of theeasiest accessoriesto wear for a stylishand laid back look.Easily layered, theygo with almostanything, like Nicoleadding colour andpattern to anotherwise simpleoutfit.

As Nicole shows here, it’s the best piece to layer into your outfit, with a light knit, like this, is perfect for layering on top of long sleeves and jumpers, to create a voluptuous, statement style. Nicole chose this piece because “it’s a classic item to have in my wardrobe, and it’s jersey so I can wear it with anything.” They can be found on high street in every colour and pattern, you could imagine, with something for everyone as one of this season’s biggest trends. Like from this Chloé collection, adding a cape to shorts creates a very cozy, trendy Autumn/Winter look. For those of you who take three steps to your destination and, even in the depths of winter,

begin to get hot this piece is a must for your A/W wardrobe, as they’re easy to throw on, or off, and come in a variety of knit thickness. They may seem like a pointless accessory for the season, but as Nicole is showing they can make an impression on any outfit.

Dungarees are an alternative A/W piece to work this season. This beautiful purple, cord pair could be difficult to wear but Rosie pulls it off smoothly and tastefully. Pairing them with a sheer, white blouse, underneath, softens the harsh fabric of the dungarees making the outfit a lot more feminine, keeping with the girlish style, adding a floral headband and beautiful bright red, quilted bag, Rosie really throws herself into her style and she explains that “it’s important to me to be a little different I’d much rather be different than be the same.” Adding even more texture into the mix with a chunky, cream knit cardigan and leather and fur, boots makes this outfit perfect for this season.

Like Rosie’s, chunky knits are perfect addition to your wardrobe for the cold season.Here Olivia shows off another perfectpiece in this style, as the cablevariety keeps knitwear even moreinteresting and often creates a morechunky design.

The black body conskirt will always be an easy item towork into your wardrobe, all-yearround, and to put it with thisbeautiful cream knit helps thecardigan to stand out by itself. Thepop of cherry red she chooses for her top is perfect, keeping the ensemble from being too dull, as it’s the perfect Autumn shade.
