Sandra Bullock's been doing the rounds on the Practical Magic 2 press tour with her co-star Nicole Kidman - and we can't get enough of her glorious red-carpet looks. However, right now we're taking inspiration from one of her recent off-duty outfits that's ideal for in-between-weather days.

Spotted at the end of August in New York, she wore a lightweight grey knit with a slouchy silhouette and a V-neck design. On the bottom half, she wore relaxed black trousers with an elasticated waist for added ease. Her mesh khaki green ballet flats from Alaia added a trendy, playful finishing touch, while her large leather tote bag from The Row delivered a contemporary feel.

If you're looking for autumn outfit ideas that are easy to put together, it's worth taking inspiration from this look. A cosy knit with comfortable trousers works for a range of activities, from workdays to weekends, and the addition of statement flats takes this ensemble from simple to fashion-forward.

One of the best parts about turning into autumn is being able to layer up, and investing in a few well-made knitwear staples is a must. From the best cashmere to the best wool jumpers, when it comes to colour, you can't go wrong with grey, a neutral colourway that pairs with pretty much anything, including khaki and chocolate, as well as brighter shades, jewel tones or light pastels.

Whilst a slouchy jumper and smart trousers create a simple smart-casual outfit, the right shoes can make it feel much more interesting. Sandra's mesh ballet flats offer an easy way to add texture and colour to an outfit. Plus, ballet flats remain one of the key shoe trends this autumn.
