If autumn is fashion’s favourite season, Topshop is going to be, well, top of your agenda for AW23. Inspired by catwalk quiet luxury, the new collection is all about subtle, IYKYK switch-ups that make a big impact – like longer-line silhouettes, 80s-inspired shapes and tailoring mixed in with sheer and fluid fabrics. Delve into the key pieces below that more than meet the demand for a new-season refresh.

A smart coat is your go-to companion for all your upcoming plans – and this season, only longer lengths will do. Choose a neutral colour to make the investment pay dividends, giving you a chic and versatile piece that works for every scenario, from launch-night layer to the Sunday grocery run.

With the quiet-luxury trend subtly elevating our looks all summer, a corporate-inflected aesthetic takes us briskly into the new season. Yup, tailoring is getting a promotion, with pinstripes and Savile Row shades putting a smart slant on your existing rotation.

A serious style staple whatever the season, you can't go wrong with a faux leather jacket. Choose an oversized shape for easy everyday layering and run with a leather-on-leather look via a matching accessory. If you only do one bag this season, make it a clutch bag – trust us.

Sheer dressing continues to steal all the limelight, but who can blame it when it looks this good? This delicate top is the autumn equivalent of the lace dress that dominated our summer plans. Prepare to fall under the same (semi-sheer) spell in the months to come...

Like summer’s much-debated ballet-pump revival, slouchy boots are making the millennial comeback we never knew we needed. If you’re getting major déjà-vu, we hear you – but you can’t deny the silhouette’s ability to add the perfect high-low finish to a look.
