A stalwart of the British high street, John Lewis is a department store that has a special place in many hearts. With a multi-brand and product offering, it's easy to feel a little overwhelmed with the choice on offer, but we're here to tell you that this season, John Lewis' in-house labels have excelled themselves.
The John Lewis & Partners fashion family consists of three in-house streams. And/Or, Any Day and John Lewis core and when it comes to topping up your autumn capsule wardrobe, you'll struggle not to fill your shopping basket with goodies. Taking note of the latest autumn/winter fashion trends for 2023, the brand's designers have translated the runway looks into wearable and timeless separates and figure-flattering dresses for a grown-up take on even the most youthful of styles.
John Lewis & Partners is known for its quality and this really comes through in the new season, which has some of the best winter coats, chic AM to PM dresses and well-crafted accessories to make refreshing your wardrobe a breeze. We've rounded up 12 looks that we can't stop thinking about and explain how to wear them (plus some you might be lucky and find in the John Lewis sale)...

"The John Lewis collection for this season has to be one of the best high street offerings I've seen. With premium-quality outerwear at an affordable price point and an unbeatable footwear that can easily rival high-end picks, the retailer has really pulled out all the stops this year. After recently trying on a range of John Lewis coats and browsing the rails, I have found that the brand has perfectly balanced trendiness with sophistication." says Amelia, woman&home senior fashion writer.

RRP: £55 | The denim trends 2023 hailed the return of the denim skirt and there are a host of styles to choose from this season. This timeless pencil skirt in dark indigo, with a front slit is a versatile building block that can be smartened up with boots and a neat knit.
RRP: £99 | Delivering on those Chanel vibes, we love this collarless jacket as it adds more polish than a cardigan, but is a little more relaxed than a tailored blazer. The open front creates a centre panel that will help to lengthen your frame.
RRP: £140 | One of the best knitwear brands, John Lewis has a great range of basics in high quality fabrications. The fold over collar on this design offers a sportier feel that's ideal for a smart weekend ensemble. Pair with your best straight leg jeans and chunky soled boots.

RRP: £59 | Metallics are a big fashion colour trend for 2023 and this pleated skirt is a great way to add the trend to your rotation. The touch of sparkle makes it festive season ready, so consider this piece for after work drinks, or what to wear on Christmas day.
RRP: £399 | If you love the best leather jackets, try a leather trench for size. Exceptionally chic, this chocolate brown design is simply divine, with the tie waist belt ideal for cinching you in. The luxe leather is a sleek rival to a Burberry trench coat this season.
RRP: £65 | The best loafers for women give any ensemble a smart finish. In a soft tan leather, this pair will render any outfit office-ready and can be worn with jeans, suiting or dresses for a grown up spin. The lack of detail makes them a great pair of Quiet Luxury shoes.
RRP: £99 | Swap out black handbags for tan, for maximum all-year wear. This camel hue will pair with all neutrals and will feel light and bright with white and cool colours in the summer, but will remain directional for autumn. The bucket style design is one of the top autumn/winter handbag trends for 2023 too.
