As far as outfit formulas go, there’s nothing quite as easy to throw on in autumn as jeans, boots, a jumper and a coat. It’s an outfit that can take you seamlessly from Sunday brunch to an afternoon at the pub, and in late autumn, it’s probably exactly what you’re putting on each morning before you leave the house.
We’re big advocates of this simple structure and tend to live in it through autumn and well into winter, mixing in a rotation of our favourite knits against various pairs of comfy jeans. Of course, each look is topped with a warm coat and a scarf or beanie, depending on how Arctic the temperatures are.
Last but not least are the boots. This item finishes the look and can be used to dress your outfit up or down. High-heeled boots will instantly elevate your look, making it office appropriate or great for a night out, while comfy flat boots are optimal for commuting or weekends spent wandering around parks.
The beauty of this outfit is that it’s basically foolproof. We won’t try to pretend that it’s a rocket science outfit formula, but it definitely does make room for personal style. So mix and match prints if you please or double up on interesting textures because when it comes to the jeans-boots-jumper-coat outfit combination, you can’t really go wrong. Scroll through below for our favourite ways to wear the look.

A great addition to any coat line-up.
These jeans come in an extended size range.
Staud’s iconic Wally knee boots now come in a cute ankle length.

Zara is backing the leather-trench trend in a big way, with four styles and counting. This one looks the best to us, as the sheen on the faux leather is just right.
