If building an outfit shapes who you become, nothing says ‘new me’ like a new season – and autumn is the ultimate time for transition. So, we’re kicking things off with an in-depth list of the season’s biggest new styles – from refined workwear to transitional knitwear. These pieces are all you need for navigating summer’s end, whether its last-minute city breaks or a new job. Keep scrolling for your next investment pieces and where you’ll be wearing them, with insights from ASOS' Styling Lead, Kieran Clarke.

These navy two-piece feature boxy jackets and loose-fitting trousers that look great from morning meetings to post-work drinks. You can also swap the jacket out for a sweatshirt if you’re in need of a date-night outfit, or pair the jacket with straight-leg denim jeans for a smart-casual event look.

 

‘It’s all about the contrast of formal and relaxed,’ says Kieran. ‘You can take that concept further through layering, so try a jersey polo underneath, popping the collar in an interesting way, or finding a nice little twist to make classic pieces feel fresh.’

Speaking of denim, refined workwear is set to deliver this autumn – utility details, tactile fabrics and durable staples like denim are working their way into all corners of your wardrobe. This denim overshirt is a unique spin on your daily tee, crafted in classic indigo so it’s super easy to pair with your usual trousers.

This is the perfect piece for relaxed plans – perhaps a birthday lunch or a kick-about with mates. It’s unusual enough to spark conversation, but doesn’t give off the impression you’ve tried too hard. ‘Structured denim pieces like this also look great alongside classic shirting,’ says Kieran. ‘Again, it’s that formal/casual contrast with some streetwear influence thrown in.’

According to Kieran, ‘This heavyweight piece goes beyond head-to-toe casualwear and brings a more polished feel to your rotation.’ However you wear it, it’s sure to impress any stiff-lipped relatives or style-obsessed friends.

A more refined silhouette might be suited to autumn’s ‘back to school’ energy, but you’ll always need something to relax in. Loungewear is a crucial investment because – despite its simplicity – you often spend most of your downtime wearing it.

If there’s one athleisure set you choose this autumn, make it this Champion duo. The minimal design and deep shade make for a streamlined outfit that still feels somehow smart – and you’ll struggle to find anything more comfortable. Whether you’re heading to the airport, need a quick outfit fix post-gym, or want an intentional look you can throw on for last-minute outings, this is the most important purchase you’ll make all season.
