Fall Jackets & Coats
Fall jackets and coats chosen for cut, fabric and how easily they work with the rest of a wardrobe.
A suede blazer gives you the shape of tailoring with a much softer texture. The mole brown would look beautiful over cream knitwear, dark denim or navy trousers, and the collarless neckline leaves plenty of room for a silk scarf or jewellery.
Suede leather blazer · Mole Brown · Bomberâ Jacket
The scarf is beautiful here because it continues the line of the coat instead of looking like an extra accessory added afterwards. Off-white wool with dark trousers and tall boots would make such an elegant fall combination.
Short coat with scarf detail · Off White · Coats
This is the version of the barn jacket trend I prefer. The dark khaki waxed cotton and corduroy collar have that country influence, while the high neck and adjustable waist make the shape much neater.
Waxed jacket with corduroy high neck · Dark Khaki · Coats
I like this kind of country jacket most when the rest of the outfit is a little cleaner. Wear it with straight jeans and loafers, or over a knit dress with riding boots.
Cotton parka with corduroy collar - Women | MANGO USA
The frog fastening gives this charcoal jacket much more character than a plain knitted layer. I would keep everything underneath simple and let those fastenings be the detail.
Straight jacket with toggle fastening - Women | MANGO USA
The combination of soft brown suede and the darker leather collar is beautiful. I’d wear it with a cream knit and straight jeans, or with grey wool trousers when I wanted the suede to look a little sharper. It is genuine goat suede with a sheep-leath...
Women's Brown Suede Jacket with Collar | H&M US
Khaki suede is such a good autumn colour because it works with brown, cream, navy, denim and black without feeling like another neutral jacket. The four-pocket shape gives it a little country feeling, which is exactly how I like suede worn in fall.
Women's Dark khaki green Suede Jacket
Finally, a denim jacket with a waist. The broad shoulders and shaped seams give it a proper silhouette, and I love the pearly buttons with the light denim because they make the whole thing feel more feminine than the usual boxy jean jacket.
Women's Light denim blue Denim hourglass jacket | H&M GB
The matching scarf is what makes this coat for me. I love the deep brown with cream knitwear, dark denim or grey trousers, and I would leave the scarf fairly loose so the whole thing still feels relaxed.
Women's Dark brown Handmade Wool-Blend Coat | H&M US
This is expensive for H&M, but the fabric and tailoring explain why. The long line, broad shoulders and double-breasted front would look beautiful with fine knitwear, straight trousers and good leather shoes.
Women's Black Double-Breasted Wool Coat | H&M US
I really like how simple this leather jacket is. The brown, patch pockets and short straight shape have a slightly country feel, and I would wear it with cream knitwear, dark denim or a wool skirt rather than treating it like a typical biker jacket.
Women's Brown Leather Jacket
I love how the dark leather collar changes the character of this otherwise classic trench. The deep brown looks beautiful with cream, black, denim and burgundy, and the long shape works especially well with simple clothes underneath.
Women's Dark brown KW Trench Coat | H&M US
Beige with a darker brown collar is such an easy combination for autumn. I would wear this with jeans and loafers while the weather is mild, then add a fine knit and riding boots once it gets colder.
Women's Beige Twill Car Coat | H&M US
The thick cotton canvas and contrasting dark collar give this jacket a lovely country feel. Turn the cuffs back to show the contrast and wear it with straight jeans, a wool skirt or corduroy trousers.
Women's Beige Padded Canvas Jacket | H&M US
Dark quilted denim already feels more interesting than a regular jean jacket, and the brown collar makes it even better for fall. I would wear this with cream, grey or burgundy underneath and let the jacket be the only denim in the outfit.
Women's Dark denim blue Quilted Denim Jacket | H&M US
The longer shape gives you enough room for a proper sweater underneath without losing the line of the jacket. Beige with brown corduroy details is especially good with riding boots, loafers and darker denim.
Women's Beige Quilted Jacket | H&M US
The scalloped collar and embroidery give this dark brown jacket such a pretty feminine detail. I would wear it with simple jeans or wool trousers so the collar and embroidery remain easy to see.
Women's Dark brown Twill Jacket with Eyelet Embroidery | H&M US
Fall Boots, Loafers & Flats
The fall shoes I keep coming back to, from riding boots to loafers and flats that are easy to wear and still feel special.
White trainers can look surprisingly polished when the leather is soft and the shape is clean. I like these with straight jeans, wool trousers or a long skirt, especially on early fall days when boots still feel too much. They are goatskin leather wi...
Soft leather trainers · White · Sneakers
I love that there is no hardware on these. You can carry a bag with gold hardware one day and silver the next without having to match the metals on your shoes too. They are soft cow leather, leather-lined and made in Spain.
Knee-high leather boots - Made in Spain · Black
A chocolate leather ankle boot with a simple round toe is very hard to get wrong. The block heel is high enough to give the leg some shape, but still sensible for days when you are actually walking somewhere.
Leather ankle boots with block heel - Women | MANGO USA
These are the wild card in the shoe section. The little deer print is unusual enough that I would wear them with very simple clothes, perhaps dark jeans and a cream cashmere knit, and let the shoes have all the fun.
Bambi-print calf-hair heeled shoe - Women | MANGO USA
These are fun without becoming silly. I’d treat the cowhide print as I would leopard and wear it with very ordinary things: denim, a navy knit, cream trousers, perhaps a long camel coat. They are genuine cow leather with leather insoles, and reviews ...
Women's Dark brown/cowhide print Leather Mule Loafers | H&M US
A simple black penny loafer works with almost every part of an autumn wardrobe. I especially like this shape with cropped straight jeans, grey trousers and pleated skirts because the whole shoe stays visible.
Women's Black Leather Loafers | H&M US
The simple black shape and Barbour collaboration give these a lovely country feeling, and I would wear them with straight jeans, a wool skirt or a barn jacket rather than saving them for bad weather.
ARKET and Barbour Rubber Boots
Leopard loafers are surprisingly easy to wear when you treat the print like another shade of brown. Try them with dark denim, navy trousers, a grey skirt or a camel coat and keep the rest of the outfit fairly classic.
Women's Beige/faux leopard Loafers | H&M US
Sweaters, Knitwear & Tops
Sweaters, tops and knitwear chosen for texture, colour and shape, because these are often the pieces you end up wearing most once the weather changes.
A simple round-neck cardigan is one of those pieces where the fabric makes a real difference, and this one is pure cashmere. I especially like the sky blue for fall with grey, navy, camel and brown rather than automatically reaching for another autum...
100% cashmere cropped knit cardigan · Sky Blue, Red, Camel · Cardigan
One jewel button is enough to make an ecru cardigan feel a little dressed up. I would wear it with dark jeans or grey trousers and repeat the sparkle with small earrings rather than adding lots of jewellery.
Knitted cardigan with jewel button - Women | MANGO USA
I will always stop for a real silk blouse, especially with a high neck like this. The tie can be left looser with jeans or made into more of a feature with tailored trousers and the hair up.
100% silk tie-neck blouse - Women | MANGO USA
I love that the drawstring gives this longer top a real waist instead of letting all that fabric fall straight down. I would wear it with straight trousers or a narrow midi skirt and adjust the waist until the proportion feels best on you.
Women's Dark brown Drawstring-Detail Twill Top | H&M US
Silk makes even a very simple long-sleeve top feel special. I would wear this with straight jeans during the day, then switch to wool trousers or a leather skirt for dinner and let the fabric give the outfit its polish.
Long sleeve silk T-shirt · Brown, Black
I love a short-sleeve knit for early fall, when you want the warmth of wool without dressing for November quite yet. The close neckline looks especially good under a blazer or coat, and I would pair it with straight trousers, denim or a midi skirt.
Short sleeve raglan T-shirt · Black, Mink, Lead · T-shirt
Houndstooth is one of those patterns I never get tired of in autumn, especially in a soft fuzzy knit rather than a tailored fabric. I would wear this with dark brown or black trousers, straight jeans or a simple wool skirt and let the pattern carry t...
Jacquard-Knit Jumper
I love a slim black top with a close round neckline because it makes such a good base for fall jackets, scarves and jewellery. The little bit of silk in the cotton gives this one a nicer feel than a basic ribbed T-shirt, and the elbow-length sleeves ...
Women's Black Ribbed Silk-Blend Top | H&M US
The sleeves are the reason I stopped at this one too. They have just enough volume at the shoulder to make a beige sweater feel feminine, and I would balance them with straight jeans, slim trousers or a narrow midi skirt rather than adding more volum...
Women's Beige Mohair-Blend Sweater
A fuzzy short-sleeve polo is such a good in-between piece for autumn. I love the dark grey with the little brown buttons, and I would wear it with chocolate trousers, dark denim or a pleated skirt while it is still warm enough to leave the coat at ho...
Women's Dark gray melange Alpaca-Blend Polo Shirt | H&M US
Jeans, Trousers & Skirts
Jeans, trousers and skirts that are easy to build outfits around, with flattering proportions and enough variety to keep fall dressing interesting.
Grey wool, pleats and a midi length give you so many options for autumn. I would wear it with a close-fitting knit and riding boots, then switch to loafers and a shirt while the weather is still mild.
Wool-blend pleated midi skirt · Grey · Skirt
I have a weakness for a straight cropped jean because it shows the shoe and keeps the leg line clean. The dark blue is especially good for fall with loafers, ballet flats, trainers and ankle boots.
High-waist cropped straight-leg jeans · Dark Blue, Light Blue, Medium Blue, Black · Trousers
Cool wool and a straight leg are such a good combination when you want trousers that fall cleanly without feeling heavy. Navy also gives you far more combinations than another pair of black trousers, especially with camel, cream, grey, burgundy and p...
100% cool wool straight-leg pants · Navy Blue · Trousers
Cropped straight trousers are so useful when you own good shoes because they leave the ankle completely visible. I like the chocolate with cream knitwear, loafers and a structured leather bag.
Straight-cut crop trousers - Women | MANGO USA
This has just enough school and country influence without looking like a costume. I would pair it with a fine knit, knee-high boots and a leather belt, especially in navy, burgundy or dark brown.
Pleated check skirt - Women | MANGO USA
Fall Dresses
Fall dresses for everyday wear, dinners and events, with beautiful colours, flattering cuts and fabrics that feel good to wear.
The mock neck and draping make this brown cotton dress much more interesting than a basic shirt dress. I would add tall boots and a structured bag now, then a long coat once the weather gets colder.
100% cotton poplin draped dress · Brown · Dress
The knot at the waist gives this simple navy knit dress a much nicer shape. I would wear it with tall leather boots and a long coat, but it is easy enough for everyday wear too.
Knit dress with knot detail - Women | MANGO USA
The matching scarf saves this from being just another long black dress. I would wear it with pointed shoes and a long coat for dinner, then play with the scarf differently each time rather than adding lots of accessories.
Women's Black Bodycon Dress with Scarf | H&M US
Accessories Worth Adding
Belts, scarves, jewellery and bags that bring a little more character to fall outfits without making getting dressed complicated.
A real silk scarf is one of the easiest ways to bring colour into a fall wardrobe without committing to a bright coat or sweater. I like this paisley one around the neck, in the hair or tied onto the handle of a leather bag.
Paisley print scarf · Sky Blue, Golden, Medium Blue, Caramel · Scarf
I have a feeling this one will disappear quickly. The furry ecru leather gives a simple structured tote so much texture, and I would wear it with wool coats, dark denim or an all-black outfit when I want the bag to be the interesting part.
Medium fur leather tote bag
I like both colours because the shape is simple enough to let the leather do most of the work. The little mirror charm gives it some personality, and the size is generous enough that you can use it as an everyday bag rather than rationing what you ca...
Shoulder bag, leather, charm, mirror - Women | MANGO USA
If leopard feels like too much on a coat or shoe, a belt is a very easy place to use it. I would put this through dark jeans or around a plain wool dress and keep the rest of the outfit fairly classic.
Leopard-print leather belt - Women | MANGO USA
These have that big gold jewellery feeling I associate with late 80s and early 90s fashion. I would wear them with the hair pulled back and a high-neck knit or shirt so the shape around the face stays strong.
Embossed pendant earrings - Women | MANGO USA
This is unapologetically chunky, and that is exactly how I would wear it. Put it over a black knit, a white shirt or a simple dress rather than trying to make the whole outfit equally decorative.
Maxi-link necklace - Women | MANGO USA
Greige frames with little gold details are so much gentler with autumn colours than very stark black sunglasses. They are also polarised, which is a nice practical bonus rather than the reason I like them.
Women's Taupe Polarized Sunglasses | H&M US
I like it with a plain wool coat, but it is long enough to play with around the shoulders or even wear as a sash over a simple dress.
