1. Up Your Warmth Game
This is simplest step of all: Get yourself a great hat and scarf combo! I’d suggest going with a knitted hat but avoid the slouched kind like the plague, their time has come and gone.
This time, reach for one that you can fold back up to form a tight band around your head, like Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. And why not introduce a bit of colour? I favour a bold red one personally but why not go for autumnal colours like khaki, orange, green or bright blue?
As for the scarf, stick to one in an insulating material like wool or cotton blends, in a neutral colour such as grey or navy so it can be go with everything else you already own. However, this season is all about a dandy pattern, so you could opt for a polka dot or paisley version.
2. Pick Up Some Cord Trousers
Corduroy is a great material for colder months due to its durability and insulation. Think of cord trousers as your updated chinos. A great starter pair is a brown or khaki version because they are fantastic colours for autumn and work well with nearly every other colour you can think of.
3. A Navy Peacoat
If you don’t already have one, get one. You want one that ends a couple of inches above your knees and has a slim enough cut to still be able to fit a suit jacket underneath.
4. Shawl So Hard
A thick shawl neck cardigan could be the most versatile item you own this season. Providing more warmth and style than your ordinary cardigan, it can function in any situation.
Wear it over a casual shirt and knitted tie for a night out or under a suit for an extra layer of warmth on the commute to work. Hell, why not wear it over the suit?
This season, try to branch out into an interesting colour – think greens, oranges, browns or any other colour the leaves can turn. At the very least, go with a white/ecru version for the ultimate in autumn style.
5. Re-boot Your Boots
This time around, when it comes to making a decision on which boot to get for the rain, sleet and snow go for something a bit more dressy. Think black or brown leather (no distressing) in a cap toe or brogue that can be worn just as easily with a suit as a pair of jeans.
You’ll be surprised at how your overall appearance will be instantly lifted once you swap those beaten up military boots for a pair of sleek and sophisticated lace-up dress boots.
