Get Cat Deeley's Look

Cat's embracement of autumnal hues gave her thoroughly modern look a timeless feel. When it comes to the best sweaters for the season, a Fair Isle print works from the start of autumn all the way through to Christmas Day (and beyond). The traditional pattern is well-loved and can certainly bolster your capsule wardrobe for years to come.

Accessorising with dark brown tights helped to pull the top and bottom parts of Cat's outfit together, as the earthy hues from the khaki to the lighter brown boots were joined easily through her opaque tights. A practical and stylish choice, tights are certainly back in favour.

If you've been struggling with how to style shorter skirts, teaming them with opaque tights and knee-high boots is a brilliant idea. It means that while your hemline is still mini length, you don't actually end up with that much leg exposed, so if you're new to the style, this can help with the transition. The tights and the boots also offer great sculpt and support.
