Can you feel that chill in the air? That’s autumn creeping round the corner – soon enough the leaves will be turning brown, the shops will be full of Halloween décor and we’ll have had enough Pumpkin Spice Lattes to last us a lifetime (or at least till next year). The season of cuddling up and staying in is upon us, and we’re so ready for it.
Now we’re not saying you need a whole new wardrobe for every turn of the season… although that would be the dream. But there is something special about picking out a cosy new coat and some nice shiny boots when the days start to darken – call it back to school vibes, call it the chance of a fresh start, call it the countdown to Christmas. Whatever it is, we think after last year we all deserve some nice new things for the autumn/winter season – maybe we’ll actually get to wear them out and about at some social events this time round!
So here are our fave coat and boot combos, from practical pairings and vintage-inspired fits to sports luxe looks and classically chic pieces, we’ve got you covered whatever you’re up to this autumn. Take a look!
Classic coats and chic boots
When it comes to cold weather wear, you really can’t go wrong with a classic combo. A timeless coat and chic pair of boots will outlive any trend and can be worn year after year, so it’s worth investing in them if you can. Sharp tailoring, delicate detail and natural fibres are all things to look out for when buying classic pieces.
We love this simple camel wool mix coat, worn with these stunning suede knee high boots for a glam city slicker look. Or if you prefer darker shades, this navy blue wool/cashmere coat is super sharp, especially paired with these lace-up ankle boot for a stylish Victoriana vibe.
The sports luxe look
We’ve still got plenty of time for the sports luxe trend, and there’s nothing as quite like a great big puffer jacket when the wind is whipping around you. Brands like SuperDry, Adidas, Tommy Jeans and Regatta offer modern styles with practical features that give an active look to take you through the colder months. Even better, this style is perfect for chucking on over your gym kit after your morning workout – you’ll look like you’re rocking an outfit even if you’re in need of a shower!
This SuperDry parka is padded for warmth, with a faux fur-lined hood and a longer length. Wear it with these awesome Sketchers ankle boots for a futuristic vibe. For mid-season temperatures, we love this short puffer with hood by Tommy Jeans, which would look on-point with these Timberland stompers – obsesserd with that neon trim!
Vintage vibes
We’re really feeling that vintage 60s look for our autumn outwear this year – think fluffy teddy coats and rocker-style chunky boots worn with floral tea dresses and jaunty berets. We’re going for that Warhol-era New York vibe, so go heavy on that eyeliner and wear your hair loose and touseled.
This cosy camel teddy coat is perfect for throwing on over your lightweight summer dresses – wear with a pair of classic Doc Marten boots for serious style points. For a more feminine feel, this gorgeous suede trench coat is giving us pure retro – when teamed with these suede ankle boots with triangle heel it’s a match made in fashion heaven.
