This denim one-piece is one of the best jumpsuits we've seen all season. In mid-wash denim and featuring a stylish exposed zip and metal buckles on the shoulder, there is something so timeless and effortless about this design. Jumpsuits can be styled in so many ways, making them a top pick for the cooler months ahead.

White blouses and blue denim go together oh-so-well, and when the weather is unpredictable, this combination is a fail-safe.

Alongside this, she wears a gold chunky necklace that truly elevates the whole ensemble.
How to accessorise denim
Loafers are certainly in fashion again, but did they ever really go out of it? And this heeled option offers a glamorous take on a timeless style, perfect for elevating autumn looks.
Our woman&home Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr is a huge fan of this look, commenting, "I love denim in all shapes and sizes, and Davina's jumpsuit is a really refreshing take on classic dungarees. Her zip front jumpsuit is fitted at the bodice, which gives it a dressier feel then you'd normally get with overalls, and the trousers flare into a really flattering wide leg cut.
