THE BEST AUTUMN DROPS FROM & OTHER STORIES

If there’s one brand that consistently delivers on the autumnal wardrobe, it’s & Other Stories. Known for quality knitwear, rich warming tones, and timeless yet trending silhouettes, they’re a firm favourite amongst the stylish and practical. So, what better time for a rebrand than the start of the autumn/winter season?

 

Under the creative direction of newly appointed Chief Creative Officer Jonathan Saunders, & Other Stories just revealed its new brand spirit – combining a clean, fresh perspective with their familiar quality designs. The latest collection is all about merging modernity with heritage. Pieces are enriched with 60s, 70s and 90s references – including structured bomber jackets and lived-in textures. Technical fabrics juxtapose heavier knits, creating elevated everyday pieces with unexpected edge.

When we first got a glimpse of the new collection, it was clear how effortlessly one could combine these versatile designs – layering knitwear, pencil skirts, and tailored minis to create timely outfits that stand the test of time. Picking our favourites was no easy feat, but it’d be remiss not to celebrate this exciting new chapter for what is one of our favourite brands. Keep scrolling for a peek at the pieces sure to define our seasonal roster.

The annual winter coat is our most important wardrobe investment. It needs to be warm, obviously – but also stylish, versatile (we’ll be wearing it most days), and not too cumbersome. There’s nothing worse than a heavy jacket weighing down your morning commute. Nothing could’ve filled us with more joy, then, than the arrival of the brand's new AW25 outerwear. Stitched with heritage, these tailored silhouettes combine trending earthy tones like chocolate brown and charcoal with classic collars and cosy weaves. Our top callouts are an ankle-length coat – which instantly upgrades your everyday uniform to Parisian divorcée levels of chic – and a cropped jacket, providing the perfect level of preppy to your seasonal ‘fits.

& Other Stories has cemented itself in the knitwear halls of fame, with quality styles that last year on year. The first launch under their rebrand is no different – featuring fresh colourways and fuzzy mohair textures. Boxy shapes keep things modern and invite creative layering (we especially love the new poplin shirts poking out from beneath heavier jumpers), while the tell-tale warmth of their fabrics promise indulgent comfort as the temperature drops. It’s nice to know you can live in these knits, and they’ll still look as good as when you first bought them.

Leaning into our preppy preferences, the new collection also features plenty of luxurious cardigans. From soft grey to black, these silhouettes are the missing piece in your autumn roster. Opt for loafers and a tailored coat for an ultimate ‘back-to-school’ aesthetic or throw under an oversized knit for more casual styling. Either way, we’ll be wearing these for the foreseeable.

In keeping with its wealth of investment pieces, & Other Stories completes the autumnal wardrobe checklist with a carousel of warming textures and tones. From a standout quilted coat to plaid details, there’s no shortage of layering options to choose from. This latest collection has something for everyone – and each design is unrivalled in its craftsmanship. From the classic poplin shirt to cinched silhouettes and bow details, we’ve never been more spoilt for choice. And with an array of colours and textures, this new season promises to be a smorgasbord of stylish treats. Consider us hungry!
