News flash: The new season is upon us. But before you cry into one of your last iced lattes of the summer, I have a silver lining for you: new season = new wardrobe. After months of sweating in places I didn't know one could sweat (my forearms—weird, no?) I can't wait to step into autumnal dressing. Sequins, suits, cashmere, boots—I can't get enough! Heading into the office brings opportunities for layers and texture. My work wardrobe consists of a sea of cosy knits layered on top of cotton shirts and leather trench coats. And let's not forget that as we part ways with weekends filled with festivals, we welcome party season. And boy, oh, boy! This year is our year for extroverted, unapologetic, high-octane glamour.
Want to know what conjured up so excitement for me? The & Other Stories autumn collection. Cleverly curated into different personas (I know, what a cute way to shop), the edit allows you to dive into everything from wardrobe staples, partywear and Y2K tailoring that I can get onboard with. Think dropped waistlines, cropped blazers and a particular silver halter-neck dress that I can't stop looking at.
Confirming that green is the colour for autumn/winter 2022, the edit contains an eclectic mix of emerald sequin pieces, which are sure to sell quickly. It also has skirt suits that are easily made evening-appropriate with this metallic corset and a pair of heels. Honestly, this selection is so good you'll likely catch yourself saying, "Summer? I don't know her."
And with that, see the pieces I simply can't wait to wear.
This dress is having a '90s-Kate-Moss moment.
Make way for the leather trench. This is timeless.
Who doesn't love statement earrings?
2001 called. It wants you to wear this top.
I couldn't be happier that Bottega green is here to stay.
I'm weak for woven leather of any kind.
This shape is a cooler take on a cat-eye style.
A mermaid miniskirt? Sign me up.
Kitten heels are a must this autumn, and I love, love, love this embellished strap.
This jumpsuit is so easy to dress up or down with the right accessories. For work or winter weddings, she's got you.
I imagine this layered with other gold necklaces.
At 5'2", I'm so excited to reach new heights in these bad boys.
If you want to go all out on the Y2K, dare to bare some midriff. If not, you can layer this over an oversized shirt or tee.
This will be so cute with brown or black tones.
Power suit pending…
Love a croc print.
Such a great staple.
Corsets are another key trend this season, and I'm loving this soft metallic hue.
I can't get enough of socks and loafers on those in-between-weather days.
Think school uniform, but without the school.
Cute and cropped—I'm so ready for sweater weather!
