Thought AllSaints was all about 90s grunge? Its new era is surprisingly elegant, with flattering dresses, statement knits and timeless outerwear
Here are the 9 pieces from their new-in collection I'm considering for autumn...
If you’ve always thought of AllSaints as the place to go for pieces that evoke ’90s grunge, you’re not wrong, but the British clothing brand is changing. With the designer Aaron Esh joining their team, they are embracing an elegant, more refined aesthetic, which can be seen perfectly in their latest collection.
As Chief Creative Officer, Esh is bringing a fresh perspective to AllSaints whilst allowing the brand to stay true to its origins. He has introduced a focus on polished silhouettes, colours and fabrics, creating a range of versatile pieces that feel relevant today, beyond the ’90s-inspired wardrobe, and that can become essential building blocks for your autumn outfit ideas.
In their latest autumn collection, these changes are clear. There are cosy knits in rich, trend-led shades that are perfect for layering up in colder climates, flattering dresses that take you effortlessly from daytime to evening occasions, and, of course, leather jackets - an area AllSaints has mastered. Here are 9 of my favourites from the current new collection.
The pale blue colour of this mohair knit will pair beautifully with darker autumnal tones. Layer it underneath a chocolate brown blazer or a black leather jacket. It comes in four colourways, including lilac.
If you want to invest in a leather skirt that you can return to every autumn or winter, this burgundy find is worth considering. It has a panelled silhouette and is made from lightweight leather.
These ankle boots feel Western-inspired and are crafted from smooth leather. The timeless ankle height makes them extremely versatile, and they would make a polished companion to denim.
The bomber jacket is having a major moment in the fashion world, and this iteration is a luxurious way to tap into the trend. It has a relaxed fit and dropped shoulders for an effortless finish.
The chicest layering piece, this shirt will go with just about anything, from laid-back denim to sharp tailored trousers. It has a relaxed fit with utility-inspired details that make it different from classic shirt designs.
This canvas tote bag caught my eye immediately when I was browsing the new-in section. Its spacious silhouette makes it ideal for carrying your daily essentials, whilst the tan shade and canvas fabric feel so chic.
It's never too early to shop for your go-to winter coat, and this design is at the top of my wishlist. Crafted in a warm wool blend, its relaxed fit makes it perfect for layering over knitwear.
This wrap dress has a universally flattering silhouette that cinches in at the waist before falling into a feminine midi length. It's an effortless option for everything from office days to evening plans.
A well-placed drape can be the most flattering feature, and this dress proves exactly this. Made in a fluid jersey, the soft gathered detailing skims over your figure rather than clinging, and the oxblood red feels so autumnal.
For anyone who hasn't looked to AllSaints for a wardrobe update for a while, now feels like a very good time to revisit. The brand's signature edge still remains, yet it's joined by softer silhouettes, trending colours and timeless pieces that feel easy to wear. Not only does the brand offer excellent outerwear pieces for the cooler season, but its well-made knitwear pieces and flattering dresses make it the place to browse if you want to refresh your current wardrobe.
