Scrolling through all the new-in sections of my favourite brands right now, it’s hard not to get excited about the onset of autumn. Slowly but surely, knits, boots and coats are popping up again, and all I can think about is crisp walks and cosy layers (ironically, as I sit sweltering in this final heatwave).
Recently though, there’s been one outfit in particular I’ve spotted both Arket and H&M backing (and you know it’s good if those guys are on it). It’s the knitted trouser co-ord—flared trousers to be exact—and I’m pleased to report I already know it’s going to be my most worn look for the season. Yes, I’ll maybe wear some dresses too, and a fair few jeans-and-blazer outfits— but for those relaxed weekends, and for working from home, this couldn’t be more perfect.
The key is that these sets are not only comfortable but the coordination keeps them feeling really elevated too, so you can trick people into thinking you’ve put effort into your outfit when in fact it’s the easiest thing to throw on. They’ll work perfectly under a trench coat or a blazer with your favourite chunky boots, and I bet you could even dress them up with heeled boots for nights at the pub, too.
Arket has an incredibly chic boucle option which comes in cream and black, which will undoubtedly be spotted on the minimalist influencer set any day now. While H&M have a ribbed stripey one which all our editors have just added to their baskets. Keep scrolling to join the club…
