WE CAN’T WAIT TO STYLE THESE AUTUMN ACCESSORIES

ARKET alpaca and wool beanie in off white, £35

Let’s start from the top (quite literally). Hats are a must-have once summer says its goodbyes – both for keeping us warm and hiding bad hair days. There are countless shapes and styles to choose from, but a good beanie is the classic you can always count on. This simple design will complement almost any outfit and is infinitely cosy to boot. But finding the perfect one isn’t always easy. Opting for quality is key – like this alpaca and wool-blend beanie from ARKET. The super-soft fabric is warm and durable, and we love that the fine fibres create a fuzzy texture you’ll want to live in all winter.

Mango capsule scarf in dark brown, £99.99

If you’re searching for a good autumn hat, don’t forget the scarf next. This duo are rarely spotted without one another – and for good reason. Why do things by halves? If you want to tackle the day from the comfort of a snuggle ensemble, then a soft scarf is your best bet. This brown style from Mango taps the season’s favourite shade, crafted in 100% cashmere for an indulgent, lasting wear.

& Other Stories large real suede leather tote bag in dark chocolate brown, £139

Sticking with brown for a moment, no accessory says ‘autumn’ quite like a brown suede bag. This rich texture has cropped up everywhere this season – from jackets to skirts and accessories. We love the slouchy silhouette of this shoulder bag, perfectly complementing the relaxed suede structure. The buckle detail on the strap adds a touch of elevation, and you can rest assured this will hold all your on-the-go staples no matter where you're headed.

Jeffrey Campbell western knee boots in wine, £250

The knee-high boot has stepped up as autumn’s favourite footwear style – and if you weren’t already on board, Claudia Winkleman’s collection on The Traitors will have swayed you by now. From sleek patent styles to buckled details and 90s pointed heels, the options really are endless. Not only do knee-highs pack a style punch, but they’ll also keep you warm and dry on rainy days. This Jeffrey Campbell pair is a great investment if you’re new to the big boot lifestyle. In a seasonal wine shade, the smooth leather and wearable heel will bolster any autumnal look you style with them.

Topshop Gibson leather gloves in black, £38

Finally, an unsung accessory that deserves more airtime. Leather gloves bring instant drama to any outfit and turn a casual ensemble into a glamorous ‘fit with little to no effort. Striking the perfect balance of edgy and elegant, this is one low-lift trend that lets everyone know you’re clued up on your sartorial statements. Having appeared on runways at Khaite and Max Mara, these timeless hand warmers are one autumn add-on worth adding to your basket.
