No matter how long ago you left school, September brings with it that feeling of starting afresh. It’s a good time to edit and fill in wardrobe gaps—perhaps a leather blazer or an Instagram-worthy handbag? Though we’re not ready for a complete seasonal switch just yet (we’re officially in that weird end-of-summer period), you can still wear your summer investments whilst introducing new autumn pieces too. I’ve scoured the latest outfits of some of our favourite dressers to bring you a little inspiration for what to wear this month. Scroll for September ‘fits…
SUEDE JACKET + TANK TOP + WIDE-LEG TROUSERS
Style Notes: Suede is stealing the show left, right and centre this autumn, and here’s a case of styling an easy jacket with summer’s white wide-leg trousers, and raffia accessories. It’s an age-old formula, but if it ain’t broke, why fix it? You may just want to swap out sandals for something with a little more coverage (it’s grey outside as I type this).
DRESSY TOP + CARGO PANTS + TOTE BAG
Style Notes:Â In case you hadn’t noticed, cargo trousers were a winner in 2023, but to make them more autumn-appropriate for 2024, add a trench coat to neutral layers like Monikh’s khaki hues above. These baggy trousers look great with sleeveless tops and sandals now, but they’ll also work well with a fluffy knit once the temperature drops.
 SUMMER DRESS + BLAZER + KNEE-HIGH BOOT
Style Notes:Â Printed dresses are a winner no matter the time of year, and as Karina shows above, even your floral sundress can be repurposed for cooler weather with some clever styling. Simply add a boxy blazer and knee-high boots then throw in a contrasting accessory to break it up.
