As much as I love summer, there are a few things that make the arrival of autumn undeniably exciting: the crisp air, the changing leaves and of course, the opportunity to revamp my wardrobe with cosy, cold-weather essentials. Whilst I used to be more of a summer girl who embraced floaty dresses and easy sandals, I've had a fashion shift over the past few years and have found myself leaning into autumn's allure, thanks in part to Free People.
Known for its effortlessly cool bohemian pieces that make you think of summer, the brand has surprisingly become my go-to for autumn too. So naturally, as the seasons change, I find myself scrolling Free People's site in search of those key pieces that will transition my wardrobe into the colder months.

Whether it's a sharp blazer that can take me from day to night or a pair of ballet flats that I'll wear on repeat, these are the autumn staples I know I'll reach for over and over again.
Take the Cord Good Lucks (£88)—its barrel leg fit makes them the ideal autumnal bottoms piece for those in-between-weather days. I'm picturing it with an oversized white T-shirt for a laid-back look, or dressed up with a blouse and heeled boots for a dinner date. Then there's the Crystal Gemini Ballet Flats (£98).
