Colour Palette

Think khaki green, shades of red, maroon and chocolate brown.
Add prints like plaid and gingham to your basics and try mixing and matching with your existing attire.

A great way to add your Autumn colours and prints is through accessories.
Whether glitter boots, a wide belt, or a bedazzled backpack.
Accessories can be a subtle way of adding to an existing outfit without overpowering it.
Other options include mismatched earrings, and statement or masculine shades, like the ones below.

Adding a scarf or shawl to an outfit can be a simple way of warming it up a notch and making it Autumn appropriate.
Try and tie it into part of your outfit, whether by colour, texture or print.

Layering

Contrary to popular belief, layering isn’t restricted to your torso.
You can layer tights with shorts, skirts and dresses, or even socks, leg warmers and knee or thigh high boots.
Colourful and embellished tights are the latest trend, as well as fishnets.
These Ray-Bans in shades of purple and blue, are a great pair to play off of embellished legs.

Keep It Versatile

Autumn is nothing if not unpredictable, so a great idea to keep in mind for your attire is versatility, wear layers you can take off if you get too hot, and have extra to add if you feel chilly.
Wear closed-toe shoes, and keep cut outs and embellishments on boots above ankle length.
Wear basics you are comfortable being seen in under your jumpers and shirts just in case, and always keep a light mac in your bag for emergencies.
Also, never leave your house without your sunnies as you never know when the sun might decide to shine.
This Givenchy pair will go with nearly everything and look great while they’re at it.

Layer It Up Some More

Layering is Autumn’s middle name, and this time we are talking about your torso.
A great rule here is a basic tee, under a shirt, under a sweater, under a light waterproof jacket or windbreaker.
The number and thickness of layers can be modified depending on weather and preference.
Don’t forget to add matching accessories, like these embellished shades, that will add pizazz to any outfit, however basic.
