While summer was a little temperamental to say the least, we’re fully in the throes of crisp and bright autumn, so if you’ve put off looking for winter clothes until now, I wouldn’t blame you. However, it’s never too early to start planning, and while there are only a few weeks of mild autumn weather left (let’s not think about that right now!) it’s not too early to indulge in some winter-ready purchases. If, like me, you are looking forward to teddy-coat season, you might be wondering where to turn to invest in those truly covetable pieces.
With so many choices around it’s actually overwhelming to know where to begin, and it takes a great deal of research to pinpoint exactly which styles are worth adding to your wardrobe. But having scoured the new-in sections of a long list of brands, I believe my time spent scrolling will benefit you.
There are a few affordable stores that have particularly impressed me lately. Zara, H&M and Mango are teeming with pieces that are expensive looking and chic. They’re the types of investment items you can quickly get use out of this autumn, winter and for many years to come. Below are some long-lasting shopping picks that are classic enough to weave into any year, whatever the trends. Keep scrolling to see the key items I’d recommend from the hundreds and thousands that are currently available…
