Autumn Must-Haves
My favorite season has officially started, Autumn! The crisp air, hot chocolate, and cozy game nights in with friends is some of my favorite things about Fall that truly make it special. Let’s not forget that it’s also the perfect time to start layering your clothing and bring out your coziest pieces. I’ve searched for some of my favorite pieces and brands that are effortlessly chic & cozy for this season that I want you to know about and truly love!
I love sweater weather, enjoy<3
CLOTHING:
JOSEPH:
Founded in 1983, Joseph is a British contemporary designer and brand that strikes a perfect balance between fashion and timeless luxury essentials. What I adore most about Joseph's brand is the craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that goes into perfecting the fit of each garment. Lastly, every article of clothing can be dressed up or down, making them truly timeless pieces that can last a lifetime!
This is the perfect example of when I say cozy yet still chic and elevated. I love the neutral tones that they styled this coat with and think this would also look amazing dressed up with some kitten heels and big accessories!
Need this whole fit. The proportions and then the juxtaposition with the gray adds an unexpected flare that redefines the entire outfit.
Simple, sleek, and yet to die for!
ATUKO:
I found this brand on Etsy one day looking for some knitwear pieces, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. Atuko is a brand owned by a mother and daughter based in Lithuania, known for creating quality and timeless knitwear pieces. They emphasize, 'You are the centerpiece, and fashion is the accent that helps bring your story to life. We see ourselves as the narrators while you are the absolute author of your own style.' These words are beautifully expressed and another reason to fall in love with their brand!
Love how this dress has a slit and is midi length, therefore you can layer some really cool wide leg or flared pants underneath. Styled with a clutch and a headband would be so cute!
Lightweight and the perfect piece to layer with<3
DRIES VAN NOTEN:
Dries Van Noten is a brand that needs no introduction. Founded in 1986, Dries Van Noten creates clothing that fuses and balances beauty, craftsmanship, and functionality, becoming a part of one's life story. What I love most about Dries Van Noten is that they make their clothing effortlessly cool. It's one of those brands that has perfected the 'I didn't even try, but it ends up looking perfect' kind of style.
Now this! Later on in this blog, I showcase a pair of Victoria Beckham heels that would go perfectly with this outfit! Also throwing on a pair of sunglasses and a sleek leather bag will elevate this beautiful set to it’s fullest form<3
This full look<3 Although I don’t believe they styled this to it’s fullest potential, adding a big necklace, sunglasses, and a clutch will do the trick!
P.S. The link attached is where it’s in stock; at Bergdorf Goodman!
Great pair of pants to throw on!
As someone that is never caught wearing denim, I would simply wear this outfit<3
NICKLAS SKOVGAARD:
Truly one of my favorite designers. Based in Copenhagen, Nicklas Skovgaard combines romanticism and realism in his designs by hand-weaving and playing with textiles to create unique silhouettes. What I love most about this brand is its authentic aesthetic and personal touch, which can be hard to find in the fashion industry today.
The shape of these sleeves! Adding the dress underneath creates the most beautiful proportions of a fitted torso with the juxtaposition of the wide and bellowed sleeves.
No words.
This dress with some white sparkly tights would be everything!
Love this color and the big buttons! This piece is the definition of my style.
EGONLAB:
Created in 2019, EGONLAB is a French fashion brand that merges fashion, music, romance, and mixed media art to create a unique and understated style. Drawing inspiration from the punk movement is one of the main reasons why I love the brand<3
I have nothing to say….
Although these are mens pants, I love the silhouette and they are great for layering<3
THE ROW:
As you may know, The Row explores simplistic shapes and prides itself on the quality of its products. It's truly a timeless brand dedicated to keeping traditional tailoring at the forefront, designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
This is a perfect subtle statement piece. Would wear this on a chilly date night out to my favorite restaurant<3
So comfy, I would never be able to take this outfit off<3
BANANA REPUBLIC:
Now I know what your probably thinking (because I thought the same thing)…. “Banana Republic I could never”, but the rebrand it has gone through needs a round of applause!! In 2021, they went back to their roots and decided to reinvent the heritage that they original had when first starting the brand yet redefining it in today’s society, becoming approachable and creating inclusive luxury. Great for minimal and effortless pieces that are affordable!
As a women, I think one of the sexiest things about clothing is the subtleness in showing yet not showing anything and for me this top is the definition of that! Who dosen’t love a good collarbone moment<3
Classic and a silky soft pop of color!
It’s time to put the classic linen pants away and get yourself some wool pants to keep extra warm this Autumn season<3
RAEY:
Launched in 2015, Raey prioritizes well-made basics over transient trends, offering a range of materials such as knits, wool, cotton, silks, and more. Raey is the go-to brand for quality basics!
Perfect skirt to be comfortable, cute, and feel breathable.
Admire this so much<3
This is a great dress for layering. You can easily add a sweater on top or wear a long-sleeve shirt underneath if it's chilly outside!
Now I don’t own any v-neck tops but this is so cute!
LAUREN MANOOGIAN:
I discovered Lauren Manoogian through SSENSE and fell in love with the brand's aesthetic. Lauren Manoogian is a Brooklyn-based designer known for creating ever-evolving lifestyle pieces. The brand originally started with knitwear pieces but has since expanded into leather shoes and more.
Chunky knits <3 Even if you buy this sweater a size or two bigger to wear it as a dress, it would look so cute! Pair it with some sheer black tights, ballet flats, a wool coat, hair slicked back in a bun, and some big rings for a divine look<3
VICTORIA BECKHAM:
Victoria Beckham probably doesn't need much of an introduction, but I believe that many people underestimate her brand. After watching the Beckham documentary, I can't deny that I've become a bit of a fan. Victoria designs for polished and contemporary women, staying true to her own personal style.
Tinsel on sweaters= of course<3
This is beautiful! I could imagine layering it with a lightweight long-sleeve top underneath, one that even has finger holes (it's the tiny details that matter most)!!
MR. MITTENS:
Mr. Mitterns is a Antwerp based brand, committed to creating high-quality, sustainable knitwear by using 100% wool or 100% Pima cotton.
This color is gorgeous and I can imagine how fuzzy this polo is just by looking at it<3
PROENZA SCHOULER:
Founded in 2002, Proenza Schouler is a brand that creates luxury pieces for intelligent and urban women in today's society. They also offer a white label line featuring quality clothing at a more affordable price point.
As someone who loves chunky belts, the waitband and fit on these crepe pants are perfect!
Stunning<3
YVES SAINT LAURENT:
No introduction needed. One of my favorite brands, held with such heritage and craftsmanship<3
I have wanted a Yves Saint Laurent wool coat for a few years now, and I just know that it would be one of those purchases I would never regret<3
Another great date night outfit! It would also look divine dressed down with some Ugg boots!
ACCESSORIES:
SUNNEI:
Sunnei is an Italian menswear and womenswear label. Launched in 2018, the brand produces its entire collection in collaboration with Italian factories, experimenting with Italian materials and innovative dyeing techniques. I remember discovering this brand a few years ago and admiring their over-the-top platform shoes and eclectic style, one to truly admire.
Mid-century modern coming to life within these sunglasses<3
Classic colorway if you like to keep it minimal!
ANN DEMEULEMEESTER:
An instrumental member of the Antwerp Six designers, who stormed London fashion week in 1986, changing the international reputation of Belgian design. Ann Demeulemeester creates a serene and darkly romantic world with an intriguing mix of edgy rebellion and sophistication. Alrhough Ann herself has stepped down from the brand, her aestetic and the brands core values are still present today.
When I tell you I gasped when I saw these, I gasped.
DRIES VAN NOTEN:
I wish they had this in silver as well<3 Who doesn’t love big rings….
CHLOE:
Mittens because the weather is unpredictable at this point!
YVES SAINT LAURENT:
This silver cuff... Imagine it paired with the Dries Van Noten ring if it were in silver. Placing this cuff on top of a long sleeve dress would also create a spectacular look!
RAEY:
Who wouldn’t want to have there hands in these!
I remember having one of these as a child and never forgetting how much of a serve these are, please buy this<3
Will keep you warm especially if wearing a ballet flats or open ankle shoe!
SHOES:
VAGABOND:
Swedish footwear brand focusing on quality leather and materials to last a lifetime<3
The point on these…with the metallic wash is gorgeous! Would love to wear these with a cute pair of fuzzy socks like the one from Raey<3
VICTORIA BECKHAM:
HOLY!! At first, I was a little thrown off by the heel shape, but the more I look at these, the harder I fall in love<3 Imagine the side profile with these on, paired with a big fur coat like the one from Joseph's (mentioned earlier in the blog post!) and some heavy black liner with bleached eyebrows... it's unbelievable.
UGG:
Because what is sweater weather without a pair of Uggs?
HUNTER BOOTS:
With Autumn comes rain and I say bring back Hunter Boots because how cute are these<3
WALES BONNER:
Founded by Grace Wales Bonner, Wales Bonner is a womenswear and menswear brand that embodies a distinct notion of cultural luxury, blending European heritage with an Afro-Atlantic spirit.
So chic<3
DRIES VAN NOTEN:
Wow.
