With a new season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to overhaul your wardrobe for autumn to ensure that it’s filled with all the right pieces to see you through the next few months in style.
One of the great things about luxury fashion is that many pieces are timeless investments that will last you for many years to come, and you likely have a few of the key staples in your wardrobe already. By making just a few new additions and selecting some unique pieces that draw on the latest style trends for autumn 2024, which include rich hues, luxurious fabrics and standout tailoring, you can easily update your wardrobe for the new season.
From work ensembles and casual weekend dressing to just the right outfits for sophisticated evenings out, these are our top picks to take your look to the next level this season.
The tailored overcoat
As the temperatures drop, dressing for cooler weather becomes a priority, but that shouldn’t have to mean compromising on style – and it doesn’t. A tailored overcoat is an essential piece for any autumn wardrobe and instantly makes any look polished and put together, as well as keeping the chill at bay. Sharp shapes in shades like black, navy, charcoal and camel are all timelessly stylish and will never fall out of favour, and will complement virtually any ensemble for any occasion. Opt for opulent materials such as a wool-cashmere blend for a thoroughly luxurious feel.
If you’re looking for a more of-the-moment piece, then houndstooth and checked prints are back with a bang for autumn 2024. Keep the rest of your outfit simple and monochrome to allow your statement overcoat to do all the talking.
The sharp suit
The sharp suit is another wardrobe staple for every sartorial male, and in 2024, they have well and truly shed their stuffy reputation. Slim-fit shapes are smart, flattering, and add a contemporary twist to this age-old ensemble, with single-breasted styles with wide lapels a top choice. Once again, materials matter, and premium fabrics like wool, cashmere and even silk will ensure a refined look.
For a classically opulent touch, go for rich, dark tones like midnight blue or deep burgundy – or for a more adventurous aesthetic, play with patterns and prints, and pair with a plain shirt and skinny tie or a simple turtleneck to complete the look.
For the best possible fit, opt for a custom-made suit. Edit Suits Co. offer a range of different made-to-measure options for everything from morning suits and tuxedos to slick office suits and a quick and efficient service to bring your vision to life.
The sumptuous knitwear
At this cooler time of year, staying warm is as important as looking good, and thanks to this season’s diverse array of sumptuous knitwear, you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. Cashmere and merino wool are the go-tos if you’re looking to exude a sense of effortless sophistication, and from understated turtlenecks to chunky cable-knits, there’s a style to suit every occasion. Autumnal hues like mustard yellow, burnt orange, moss green and deep burgundy will add a touch of colour to any outfit, but if you’re looking for real capsule wardrobe pieces that you’ll still be reaching for years from now then you can never go wrong with cream, black, camel and navy.
Knitwear is great for layering, which means you can wear it as part of a variety of different looks – whether under your new suit or overcoat with tailored trousers, or with jeans and a leather jacket for casual off duty cool. Accessorise with stylish leather pieces like gloves or a satchel, or wind a cashmere scarf around your neck for a perfectly polished daytime look that can be pared back simply by removing it for the evening.
