22 French-Girl Pieces That Are Totally Perfect for Autumn
Sponsor Content Created With Free People
I've loved Free People for as long as I can remember. Bohemian with a pared-back twist, the brand has been a long-standing go-to destination amongst editors and influencers alike for midi dresses, boots and sensationally good outerwear. It will come as no surprise, then, that its latest capsule collection—which was shot in Paris, by the way—is just as captivating as those of the past. Think shearling jackets, romantic slips and retro accessories.
There's no denying that, thanks to the ever-changing British weather, creating the perfect autumn outfit can be hard. But thankfully, Free People's edit is comprised of effortlessly stylish pieces to help get autumn dressing right. In its latest launch, best sellers including the Dolman Quilted Knit Jacket and Oasis Midi Dress have been given an autumnal upgrade while new pieces like the Bowie Blazer and Fox Trot Moto are set to be this season's hits.
The French girl–inspired capsule collection also has a '70s feel about it, with nods to the era marked by oversized sunglasses, knee-high boots and slips. Mix and match pieces to create an easy autumnal look, or pick your favourite item from the capsule and wear it with simple wardrobe staples such as shirts, jeans and knits.
Keep scrolling to shop some of my favourite picks from the new line.

Layering never looked so good. Wear this shearling gilet over jackets, knits and dresses for extra warmth as the temperature drops.
Slip dresses aren't going anywhere. Style this olive-green number with boots and a chunky cardigan at the weekend or heels and a blazer for an evening out.
Cut in a relaxed fit and with faux-fur detailing, this vintage-inspired jacket is such a classic. I'll be wearing mine over floral midi dresses.
