Damson Madder Women's Ilona … curated on LTK

In focus: rugby stripes. A total classic getting its moment in the autumn spotlight. I’m wearing mine with denim and tailored trousers, with leather, clashing the sports element with a flowy skirt and of course, as an alt gym top with workout leggings. The key to looking effortless-preppy, not stuffy-preppy is in the fit. The shape should be contemporary, straight lines, almost boxy (definitely not fitted). The autumn colours are so good - burgundy, brown, navy - and add to the retro charm.

Rich, choc brown pairs perfectly with denim and tonal accessories. Warmer than black but just as timeless, there’s so many good pieces out there but here’s just some of the espresso brown bits that have caught my eye.

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKwinter

Espresso Brown Is Taking Over (a supercharged shot of polish for your AW25 wardrobe)

Espresso brown is the chic, goes-with-everything shade of the season. Go head-to-toe in coffee hues - think a brown knit wide-leg with a matching brown jacket, or a scarf-detail knit with brown jeans.

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKwinter

Collarless Quilted Jacket, Leopard Print Barrel Jeans and Birkenstock Shearling Clogs

I’m living in this brown quilted jacket. Being collarless it’s nice to feel a bit less bulky as autumn is so changeable weather-wise. I can add a scarf first thing when it’s freezing and wear it as is later in the day when it warms up. Also really comfy, I like anything quilted.

#LTKwinter #LTKautumn #LTKuk

Cord Blazer, Deep Indigo Jeans, Suede Boots and a Chocolate Triangle Scarf

A corduroy blazer has been one of the breakout stars of autumn/winter, with 1970’s undertones and a hint of ‘grandad’, I’m really into the look. Cord is nostalgic - one of those timeless, comforting fabrics - and this season it feels fresh styled with denim and simple staple layers underneath.

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKwinter

Key styles from the week - barrel legs, layering romantic blouses, cosy, statement cardigans, cord blazer are back and really loving wearing dark denim again

#LTKuk #LTKautumn #LTKwinter

Barrel Leg Jeans, Embroidered Shirt and the Cosiest Cardigan

Barrel leg jeans are starting to feel like my joggers, I find them so comfortable to wear. There’s a lot of opinions about which shoes do and don’t work with barrels, I just stick to slimline shoe silhouettes and nothing chunky, to balance out the volume of the leg shape.

An out and about day, fitting in a workout and ferrying the kids here and there. I love an easy, sporty combination - brown gym leggings, gym socks, a tee and jumper.

#LTKuk #LTKfitness #LTKeurope

My trusty 501’s (I like the 90’s fit ones) are my comfort zone. Giving them a preppy spin with a crisp white shirt, shoulder robing and knotting a chocolate brown jumper and finishing with a tote and brown suede loafers

#LTKuk #LTKautumn #LTKwinter

A quilted jacket is just the right amount of layer and warmth for now, before it’s time to embrace the true winter coats. Topped with the Adidas that just go with everything.

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKeurope

For a wardrobe piece I consider a modern classic in my repertoire, it’s mad I only actually wear this black blazer in the autumn/winter months. She’s been stowed away all summer long and now it’s finally time to get her back out.

Perfectly outsized, draping nicely off the shoulders and falling into a fluid yet structured silhouette, I defy you to find a better everyday tailored blazer.

The jeans are a new find and unbelievably - under £30.

Beauty advent calendars: the edit. I figure if there’s at least two or three full sized products inside I actually really want, it’s worth the splurge. These all look excellent

#LTKbeauty #LTKautumn #LTKuk

Beauty advent calendars: do the math - if you actually work out how much each product you get inside is worth, it usually adds up to way over the cost of the calendar. Here’s the ones that look really, really good

#LTKeurope #LTKautumn #LTKbeauty

Barn jackets that are just right for the inbetweeny autumn weather. The easiest throw-on-and-go

#LTKautumn #LTKeurope #LTKFashionMonth

The scarf accent I’m wearing non-stop. Just makes every autumn outfit cosy. Perfect over knitwear and jackets. I’m talking about knitted triangle scarves on my Substack this week, along with a great edit. Here’s some lovely options

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKFashionMonth

Penny loafers, denim and a good blazer always works. Switching in socks on the really chilly mornings

#LTKuk #LTKautumn #LTKFashionMonth

Scarves to tie on top of jumpers, jackets and coats - a detail that makes every autumn outfit feel special

#LTKuk #LTKFashionMonth #LTKautumn

Scarf Accenting: small tweak, big impact on outfits. Make everything chic and cosy with this key new season accessory

It’s burgundy season:
The colour-drench

#LTKuk #LTKeurope #LTKautumn

Colour-of-the season burgundy in a top-to-toe drench. The blazer is hand-finished and introducing a rich autumnal tone into denim is an easy update. These barrel jeans are the right blend of a casual shape and smart hue.

#LTKeurope #LTKuk #LTKautumn

She’s reversible… The autumn aviator jacket to know

#LTKautumn #LTKeurope #LTKuk

Boat & Tote. A preppy icon having a comeback (did this LLBean classic ever go away??) Snapped up the baby in green, considering the original XL too. The small is on sign up again at Freepeople but they’ve still got the large.

#LTKeurope #LTKsummer #LTKtravel

The linen chocolate spring skirt I posted on Instagram and TikTok. It has a lovely straight yet floaty silhouette, is linen and has a tie waist detail. This will be perfect this spring/summer switching between office and beachy. Plus, brown is still my colour of choice! Put it with a simple black tee, raffia bag and black leather flip flops for polish.

#LTKeurope #LTKspring #LTKuk

It’s time. Spring midi skirts are coming out of storage. Airy cotton styles and some linen staples to live in with t-shirts, button down shirts, knitwear, sweatshirts and vests. I find a slightly A-line or straight, column silhouette most flattering on my body type (a full skirt doesn’t really work for me). I’ll be adding these to my suitcase later in the summer as beach options with swimwear and they work just as well in the evening with dressier pieces.

For now, I’ve been leaning into spring midi skirt styling with sandals and raffia bags, swapping in trainers, suede clogs and leather mules on those days it’s still a bit nippy. (Or raining!)

This cotton poplin A-line one is a good find, isn’t see-through and has pockets! Skirt season is upon us.

#LTKuk #LTKeurope #LTKspring

My go-to colour combo right now - preppy blue stripes and rich chocolate brown

#LTKspring #LTKeurope #LTKuk

Elevated, yet extremely comfortable. A cotton shirt and trousers pairing, creating a blue stripe and chocolate combo works well for a cohesive contrast and feels a bit spring fresh.

The chocolate brown cotton drawstring H&M trousers are such good quality for the price. I’m ordering them in black too.

Closed toe burgundy Zara mules for days it’s a bit rainy but wanting something ‘spring’.

#LTKspring #LTKuk #LTKsummer

The throw-over barn jacket - spring’s unexpected hero cover-up. Styled this one with a simple Levi’s and white tee combo. The suede clogs tie in the contrasting cord cuffs and trim of the jacket (and are really comfy!) Finished with my absolute favourite tan woven leather bag.

#LTKuk #LTKspring #LTKeurope

POV you can always rely on trusty leopard jeans. These are barrel leg, slightly stretchy and a soft leopard pattern.

#LTKspring #LTKuk #LTKeurope

Trench coat season. I’ve posted my trench ‘hall of fame’ style inspo over on my Instagram (Kate, Cindy, Françoise) if you fancy a peek at some iconic trench moments.

This Burberry trench coat is vintage and one of my faves.

#LTKspring #LTKuk #LTKeurope

Keeping it simple: spring trench coat, stone wash jeans and a plain white tee. As classic as it comes.

#LTKeurope #LTKuk #LTKspring

Trench coat season is go. I always crave a new spring trench at this time of the year for the transitional period, but I shopped my own wardrobe instead. These are my go-to trench coat styles - Classic, Midi and Oversized. (There’s a cropped one in my collection too, bought in the autumn, but I didn’t grab it as much as I thought I would. Hoping to get more wear out of it this season!)

The simplest spring addition you’ll actually wear now to tackle the inbetweeny transeasonal weather. They go with everything and are the one buy you know will never date.

#LTKspring #LTKeurope #LTKuk

The suede trend isn’t going anywhere and an oversized biker is a practical piece to work into your spring wardrobe. This neutral suedette one is a great option for ticking off the look, for less.
