As if we needed any more convincing to get cosy this autumn, Naomi Watts' autumn outfit idea has reminded us just how chic and timeless a season-ready knit can be.

Stepping out in the women's cashmere cardigan sweater by Lands' End, Naomi expertly styled the tan cardigan alongside other neutral shades of black and burgundy to get a sophisticated seasonal look.

In a light brown hue, which the brand calls ‘vicuna heather,’ her Lands' End cardigan was made all the more chic by the addition of a now-discontinued, brown leather belt from FRAME. Cinching in her waist and creating a striking silhouette against the voluminous shape of her midi skirt, we couldn’t help but also notice her stylish Saint Laurent 'Ashley' polished ankle boots. Made from burgundy leather, they set the neutral tones in the rest of her look off perfectly and proved why the timeless ankle boot will continue to be one of the biggest autumn/winter shoe trends for 2025.

Mocha brown might be one of the standout autumn/winter fashion colour trends for 2025, but it doesn’t get much more timeless than Naomi’s lighter, tan take. Softening the black of her midi and adding warmth, both in terms of colour and temperature, to the outfit, the cardigan looked effortlessly chic layered over her plain white t-shirt and we love the personalised monogrammed detailing on the knit.

It’s likely you’ve already got many of the basics Naomi used to create this look in your autumn capsule wardrobe, with ankle boots, midi skirts, t-shirts and cardigans all staples for the season. But if you haven’t already invested in some cashmere knitwear, it’s certainly one to consider for style and practical warmth.

Naomi’s outfit is ideal for the current autumn weather, but when winter starts to creep in, simply add your best winter coat over the top, and a chunky scarf and you can wear this look all season long.
