When it comes to fashion, autumn really is the season of style.
This is when the clothes get really good.
And while we’re sad to say goodbye to the summer, we’re excited for all that a new season brings.
This year, more than ever, we’re on the hunt for hero pieces that will not only slot into our existing wardrobes with ease, but which will make us feel fabulous every time we wear them.
So let us introduce you to the autumn 10 essentials hiking checklist you need in your wardrobe now and which you’ll wear forever.
Outerwear you won’t want to take off
One of our favourite items to invest in every year has got to be a new winter coat.
As the weather gets colder, we wear them more and more and they become such a huge part of our overall look it’s important to choose one we can picture ourselves rocking until spring arrives once more.
And at Marks & Spencer the winter coat collection has never been better.
From casual to classic, you’ll find the perfect outerwear for you. Here are just four of our favourites.
The Belted Coat
M&S COLLECTION Herringbone Belted Longline Coat (£99)
M&S COLLECTION Belted Double Breasted Longline Trench Coat (£99)
Want a timeless, tailored wool coat that will work with literally every piece of clothing you own?
Then you can’t go wrong with this version. Double breasted with large flap pockets and a matching belt, it’s not only warm but incredibly chic too and will smarten up any look.
It comes in as well as sophisticated , so the only problem will be deciding which one to buy.
The Aviator
M&S COLLECTION Faux Shearling Aviator Jacket in Berry (£69)
M&S COLLECTION Faux Shearling Aviator Jacket in Black and Berry (£69)
The aviator is brilliant for those of us who love biker jackets and find it hard to part with them once the temperature plummets.
With an aviator jacket you still get the cool girl edge that a biker brings to proceedings, but thanks to the longer length and faux shearling lining and collar, you can stay toasty too.
The Peacoat
M&S COLLECTION Pea Coat with Wool (£79)
Another great option for a classic look is .
What is it about this style of coat that’s so appealing?
There’s a masculine quality which is definitely part of its charm. Who doesn’t love a boyish cut on a gorgeous girl?
With bright gold buttons, this double breasted coat also has an insouciant Parisian thing going on and will look amazing with blue jeans, flat shoes and a striped knit this season.
Buy it in the traditional navy or why not mix things up a bit with the checked take new for AW20?
The Puffer Jacket
M&S COLLECTION Feather & Down Duvet Puffer Jacket (£79)
M&S COLLECTION Feather & Down Duvet Puffer Jacket in Khaki and Black (£79)
For the ultimate in cosy warmth, is the way forward.
This streetwear style has had the fashion seal of approval and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Padded with feather and down, this cute khaki jacket is ideal for days when you just don’t want to get out from under your duvet.
Midis for fashion mavens
If there’s one length that’s ideal for autumn, it’s the midi.
Cut to hit at the calf, it means we can go bare legged for longer, plus it’s universally flattering so is one of the few trends we can ALL embrace.
Marks & Spencer’s latest line has some gorgeous midi options.
These ones are going on our wish list.
The Floral Midi Dress
M&S COLLECTION Floral Belted Midi Shirt Dress (£39.50)
Florals work at any time of year but for autumn and winter give them a slightly darker makeover with this .
The print is lovely and the soft material will skim the body like a dream.
Give it a casual vibe with a pair of box fresh white trainers and layer a bright cardigan, like this yellow one over the top for chillier days.
The Puff Sleeve Midi Dress
M&S COLLECTION Floral Midi Skater Dress (£39.50)
Not since Anne of Green Gables have puffed sleeves been so in demand.
They’re such a pretty trend and are also great for balancing out the silhouette, as well as adding a touch of romance to any look.
The puff sleeves aren’t the only lovely detail on , however.
We love the gathered waist and frilled hem too. Rock with a pair of chunky heeled ankle boots for an effortless evening outfit.
The Midi Shirt Dress
M&S COLLECTION Geometric Belted Midi Shirt Dress (£39.50)
Shirt dresses are ideal when you need an easy-to-style, but smart look for a busy day of meetings.
And this take has got a fab vintage feel too which we suggest you lean in to, by wearing it with a pair of slouchy knee high boots this season.
And when winter truly descends why not layer it over a fine knit polo neck for some added warmth?
The Midi Skirt
M&S COLLECTION Floral Pleated Midi Skirt (£35)
It’s not all about dresses.
Midi skirts are a staple too.
They look gorgeous with sneakers, heels and boots and can be dressed up or down depending on your plans.
Rock this with chunky ankle boots and an oversized jumper, or keep things sleek with a long sleeved bodysuit.
Denim for autumn days
Denim is always in fashion. And thank goodness for that because what would we do without it?
So give your denim collection a little update for autumn and watch as your outfit choices expand overnight.
The Skinny Jeans
M&S COLLECTION All New Ivy Skinny Jeans (£25)
You can never have too many pairs of jeans and skinnies are the ultimate in versatility.
From hectic days at the office to date nights, brunch and hours spent watching the kids playing sport; skinny jeans are your go to.
We’ll be rocking this distressed version tucked into knee high boots, with a slouchy cardigan and big hoop earrings.
Footwear to strut in
Autumn has all the best footwear and that’s just a fact.
And this year you can expect to see cowboy boots, square toed boots and heeled boots all strutting down the street.
The Hiking Boots
M&S COLLECTION Leather Hiker Ankle Boots (£59)
Anyone looking for cool factor AND comfort factor, however, should treat themselves to the .
We know…
Hiking boots and fashion aren’t the most obvious of bedfellows but these practical beauties are everywhere right now, so don’t delay in making the most of their style status.
You’ll be able to wear them all day, from the school run to the dog walk to the office and they’ll look fantastic with floaty, floral midis as well as with denim and trousers.
So now your autumn wardrobe is sorted, you can make the most of the new season ahead.
