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?

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.
