Go metallic
Forgiving and oh-so-wearable, you can't go wrong in feminine shapes, and the good news is that the pleated midi skirt isn't going anywhere for autumn. Eye-catching metallics provide an instant update. Tone down with a white shirt for an office-friendly ensemble and be sure to add some much needed height with a heel.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with trousers
Flared, slouchy, skinny - anything goes when it comes to autumn's new trouser shape, so why not try something new? Slim legs can pull off a tapered geometric print, while a wide-leg will glide over big thighs. Culottes can work for chilly days too, just keep it simple on top with an unfussy knit and add an ankle boot.

Revisit leather
A buttersoft leather skirt will make that transition from sunny September days to chilly October mornings so much easier. This season the high street is moving away from black so experiment with deep tones or soft creamy colours. Wear with a simple blouse now then add a knit when the mercury drops.

Don’t pack away your prints
Summer's bold prints have more of a folksy feel this season as fashion has officially fallen for retro florals all over again. Take style notes from this stylish New Yorker by sticking to grown-up dress shapes - the longer the length, the more you're in line with the new season mood.
