As Richard Gilmore says in the famous quote from Gilmore Girls, I can confidently say I am an autumn. I love rich colours, pumpkin spice lattes and sunny but chilly days when the weather quite simply cannot make up its mind.
It's my absolute favourite season of the year, but I can't deny it's tricky to know what to wear, which is where Cheryl comes into her own. She was photographed attending the Hadestown Gala Night at the Lyric Theatre in London on Wednesday, and her outfit couldn't have been more perfect to mark the first day of October.
Offering us plenty of inspiration when it comes to autumn outfit ideas, she layered a Dries van Noten wool blend coat in chocolate brown over a copper-coloured Max Mara linen suit , adding a toffee-toned turtleneck top underneath for good measure. It's the epitome of Quiet Luxury, and although I've seen a lot about pastels and striking colour combinations lately, these rich tones are where it's at for me.
Shop Cheryl's look
Everything M&S does seems to fly off the shelves at the moment, so if you like this ribbed funnel neck top, don't wait to add it to your basket. It would work well with denim in any colour, and is the kind of basic that you'll keep reaching for all season long.
I love the short sleeves and belted waist on this terracotta jacket. Layer yours over a sleek long sleeve top like Cheryl's to really make the colour pop.
It feels early to say I've already found my favourite high street coat for winter, but seriously, I can't imagine finding one much better than this. It looks like it should cost ten times the price.
This luxury basic is made from a cashmere blend fabric, and the fit is so sleek, which can be tough when you're layering up. It's available in lots of different colour options, too.
The rust colour of these trousers will appeal to you if you like slightly more fiery autumnal hues, and I really rate Nobody's Child tailoring.
This coat has a removable faux fur collar, so it will take you from early autumn right through to winter in serious style.
Cheryl and her bandmate Kimberley Walsh were at the gala to support Nicola Roberts, who is starring in Hadestown. They enjoyed a sweet reunion backstage, which Cheryl shared on Instagram, with the caption "Congratulations @hadestownuk on a brilliant opening night 🌟🥳🙌🏼 @lilcola I am so very proud of you.. watching you step so far out of your comfort zone and still delivering at that level was overwhelming for me. 🥹 The entire cast and score are incredible."
Kimberley wore a similarly autumnal ensemble, teaming a brown suede shirt with matching trousers and statement gold earrings for the occasion.
