The trench coat in 2026 is far more relaxed and effortless than it used to be. Looser, softer, easier to wear. Just throw it on and don’t overthink it.

These are my favourites this year. Buy early in the season and get the wear out of it for months xx

I’ve listed everything below that’s still current or similar.

Layering season is here and the good news is… you probably already own most of what you need.
Start with your wardrobe staples — shirts, tees and lightweight knits — and begin layering them together in new ways.
If you’re missing a piece or two that makes layering easier (think a great oversized shirt, half-zip knit or lightweight turtleneck), I’ve added a few of my favourites below.

And a little stylist tip — there’s no need to spend a fortune on great knitwear or basics. I’ll always point women towards UNIQLO, Assembly Label and COS. They’re on trend, beautifully made, and still very reasonable price-wise.

Four autumn trends I’m getting behind as a midlife stylist.

Not because they’re “fashion trends”… but because they actually work.

Balloon pants
Funnel neck jackets
V-neck sweaters
And flat shoes forever.

I’m wearing EU in Massimo Dutti balloon pants but should have sized down. I normally wear AU10.
