Drew Barrymore's brown ME+EM trouser and shirt co-ord is the easy, elegant two-piece every autumn wardrobe needs
In a rich autumnal brown, this set is perfect for the season ahead
If the turn into autumn has got you searching high and low for fresh wardrobe pieces, you are not alone. The September reset is here, and everyone is assessing what to wear, from coats and knitwear to boots. However, smart trousers and co-ords feel more relevant than ever.
And Drew Barrymore's recent outing in New York saw her wearing an elegant two-piece from British clothing brand ME+EM, serving us the ultimate inspiration. Spotted in New York, she tucks in a mole-coloured striped shirt into matching wide-leg trousers which feature a subtle pinstripe and front pleats.
She elevates the look with a clever styling trick by tying a brown printed tie around her waist to add definition and a touch of personality. Leather Mary-Jane pumps from Jimmy Choo finish off her outfit for a playful finish, along with a statement necklace and gold bangle. Could this outfit be any cooler?
This mole coloured shirt is a versatile investment piece that can be styled in plenty of ways. From pairing it with the sharp matching trousers to dressing it down with denim and your most comfortable trainers.
These trousers are a polished autumn staple that's cut from a lightweight wool for a durable finish. The wide-leg silhouette feels elegant and makes them easy to dress up or down. Pair with the matching shirt or cosy knits for a more casual finishing touch.
Drew finishes off her co-ord with these statement-making heels. The bold platform silhouette and towering block heel add plenty of impact, whilst the croc-embossed finished adds a subtle amount of texture.
Tie this sheer silk scarf around your waist or through your trouser belt loops to add a subtle pop of texture to your attire. Alternatively, you could add dimension to an open-collar shirt by wearing it around your neck.
For a trendy take on the co-ord trend, this shirt is a fabulous find. It has an eyecatching brown and ecru stripe and a relaxed cut, making it a great choice for smart-casual days out.
The brown shade of these trousers makes them extremely suitable for the cooler season ahead. The matching shirt will create a sleek look; however, you could also pair them with a white cotton shirt, cosy knitwear or a floaty blouse.
If you're searching for autumn outfit ideas that feel polished but are extremely easy to put-together, a smart trouser co-ord is worth investing in. A matching shirt and trousers instantly create a put-together feeling, whilst each piece can be worn separately with other staples throughout the season.
You could easily dress it down with a few swaps. Instead of heels, opt for leather loafers or ankle boots and a roomy tote bag for a smart-casual daytime look. Or layer a knit or coat over the top as temperatures drop.
