AOIFE MCGUIGAN

For the past few weeks I have been more than ready to start layering and wrapping up ever since the summer sun disappeared. So I thought what better way to get in the cosy mood than to go through my essentials for this season.

Most of my Autumn/Winter wardrobe consists of knitwear, leather & cardigans to name a few. But aside from that I tend to use staple pieces in my wardrobe to fit in with the season and make my outfits as versatile as possible so those pieces can be worn more than once.

First up is a pair of white denim jeans. You can never go wrong with these as they go with so much! I find that a straight leg are the comfiest and tend to suit almost everyone.

I have featured below my top picks when it comes to white jeans:

The best way to wear white denim is with a bold or neutral colour palette depending on your personal preference. I find it best to try on a range of knits and cardis you already have in your wardrobe to see what works best for you.

Next up is a statement coat. These are essential for AW and most importantly must be practical and stylish all in one. Top picks below:

For outerwear it’s best to size up as layering in the winter months is necessary, so comfortable & fitted coats are needed! I find it’s best to have a range of lengths and cuts to suit all outfits in your wardrobe. Lastly, invest in coats that can easily and effortlessly take you from day to night!

Last AW must have has to be a chunky boot! I find these are perfect for the winter months and can be easily brought into spring/summer paired with smock dresses and flowing skirts. My top picks are below:

This season you can never go wrong with pairing a chunky boot with leather, jumpers and oversized shirts. Again you will most likely already have key wardrobe pieces that will be complemented with a chunky boot!

Enjoy getting the most out of your winter wardrobe and make sure to invest in bits that will last you all year!
