Whilst we’re still in the midst of the hottest summer we’ve had in years, who knows how much longer it’ll last. As we Brits know, the unpredictability of our weather means it can change overnight. As we near the end of summer, that tricky in-between transitional weather is on the way, and I, for one, want to be prepared.

Over the years, I’ve curated a lineup of autumnal capsule-wardrobe staples that I reach for as we head into the new season. Light knits, well-fitting jeans, classic shirts and suede loafers are hero pieces perfect for those early-autumn weeks when it’s not quite cold enough for big coats and chunky jumpers.
