Instagram's Best Dressed Have Spoken—These Timeless Buys Top Their Autumn Wish Lists

As Who What Wear UK's fashion editor, I spend a lot of time searching through socials to uncover the next big trends. And whilst my Saved folder is currently full of styling hacks, new colour combinations and the most double-tapped pieces, what's actually in my wardrobe is decidedly different, as I'm concluding 2024 determined to focus on investment pieces. Having noticed that the most fashionable women I know all have a wardrobe that relies on timeless classics, I've decided to trade in viral buys in favour of pieces I know will go the distance. But where do you start when looking for a forever find? I've got the answer.

We don't believe in gatekeeping, so I headed straight to the source. I asked five influencers with a refined sense of style to share what they consider classic buys to help us on our way. Expect an understated colour palette (these monochrome lovers know the perfect staples you need to finesse minimalism), and shapes and silhouettes that flatter every body. So whether you're tailoring-obsessed or a jeans-and-T-shirt kind of woman, there's something in the mix you'll love.

Keep scrolling to see their picks and shop more of our favourite seasonal staples.
