6 Fashion Influencers Shared Their Ultimate Autumn Wish Lists With Me

Instagram is one of my favourite destinations for a daily dose of fashion inspiration. Each season, I love poring over our trend guide and street style stories, but there’s something to be said for seeing those whose style—and wardrobes—you enjoy try new-season pieces, test out trends and rework wardrobe staples in ways you could never imagine. They sometimes do the hard work so we don't have to.

So when I thought about what I wanted to invest in ahead of the new season, I knew I needed to go straight to my usual source and, of course, share my findings with you. With that in mind, I asked six fashion influencers to share their autumn wish lists and reveal the pieces they've got their eyes on and what they're planning on wearing all season long. Between them, there’s an eclectic mix of aesthetics as well as a great balance between designer and high street, proving that even those in the know understand the value of a good investment piece, whether it's £30 or £300.

Expect a strong focus on hero knitwear as well as timeless outerwear and versatile dresses. Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist—or even if, like me, you fall into neither of these categories and like to dip your toe into every fashion camp—there's something to inspire you here. 

Keep scrolling to see what some of the people behind your favourite fashion accounts will be investing in this autumn/winter.
