The temperature has dropped, and I, for one, am soon going be swapping my iced flat white for a hot chocolate. But what about my wardrobe swaps? We are about to enter the period that those in the fashion game call ‘ trans-seasonal’ its essentially that in-between time when it’s not quite autumn but summer’s no-need-for-a-cardi kind of temperatures has well and truly left the building. If you want to ace this tricky time, you just need a few key pieces to help you through the transition between the two seasons. Well the obvious starting point is always denim, because jeans and a nice top is always a successful look,? I cant wait to start wearing my favourite jeans again, these from M&S and this super flattering pair from & Other Stories if you’re wondering. But what are the very best autumn items to wear with said jeans?
I’ve scoured the internet to find some of the best options for what to pair with your jeans. From oversized blazers in buttery leather (as seen on influencer Tania Sarin in her Aeron Studio jacket) to the new cardigan shape I’m totally obsessed with, you’ll be wearing these new pairings right through to the end of the year—and they’ll work nicely for spring too. Scroll on for my edit of the five stylish, easy pieces that make any autumn wardrobe a little better.
Update your Breton stripes for autumn and try a boxy shape. When buying high street it’s often thought the more oversized you go, the more expensive the piece can look.
Obsessed with this new oversized shape from H&M.
A easy-to-wear wardrobe staple if we ever did see one.
Be still my beating heart.
Toteme have created another bestseller with this turtleneck.
Keep it comfy but chic in a striped sweatshirt. As we are all about the layers in this transitional period, natural fibres like cotton and wool are your best bet.
Cut from organic and recycled cotton, we are sold.
The combo of cream and black makes this looks so much more expensive than it is.
Pearls with breton stripes, why not?
We love the high waisted detail with the wide leg cut.
When it comes to cardigans for 2022, the shape is shrunken, they aren’t too chunky and the crew neck detail is fast becoming a favourite.
A iconic piece, we think you’ll agree?
New designer S.S Daley brings the fun.
The perfect lightweight piece to throw on with jeans. The length makes it great option tucked in too.
Make a statement in this Maje number.
There’s a reason these are bestsellers for the brand.
Pink is going nowhere, we love the idea of wearing a bright knit as a top on its own paired with your wide leg jeans. Note the shape of denim for 2022 is all about the boyfriend wide leg cut.
It’s the shade of pink for me.
Who else is feeling the Barbi vibes in this Ganni piece?
We love the retro light blue stonewash, expect to see more of this next season.
Leather is everywhere for autumn, think shirts, jackets and of course bikers, look out for boxy shapes to nail the look.
Run don’t walk, The Frankie Shop blazer comes in faux leather too!
If vegan leather is your thing look no further than Nanushka.
No we can’t believe this is high street either.
We were desperate to try these as soon as we spotted them on instagram, they don’t disappoint.
Easy way to step into Autumn dressing is to follow Liv’s lead and embrace a autumnal colour palette. Her Rejina leather jacket is absolute goals, paired with white denim it’s such a fresh look.
This is currently in the sale, making it a even better price for 100% leather.
The belt on this shacket elevates this piece instantly.
Made from chrome-free leather, which means a more gentle tanning process, this oversized shirt is going straight to the top of our wish-list.
As a M&S denim fan these are currently in my wish-list. The ecru colour screams expensive.
At times, the simplest options are the best. A blazer in black can really do the trick with jeans. Think oversized silhouettes, from double breasted to single, this look is sleek and stylish.
This long length blazer is back in stock and goes up to a size 20.
Weekday just keep getting better and better. Wear this double breasted style with nothing underneath to nail the look.
100% cotton slouchy straight leg are all words we want to hear.
Not just for evening occasions though the black blazer is a staple when it comes to everyday dressing. One of the great styling tricks trying a oversized silhouette, (which is hugely on trend FYI) is that you can also easily layer pieces underneath which is what we all need when the temperature drops.
The boxy shape is a signature from the brand.
We are all over the longer length fit of this blazer, it just says cool with a capital C.
I have these in white, and they’re one of the comfiest pairs of jeans I own.
A vintage inspired classic straight leg, we are sold.
