It’s finally here – the season for soft layers, slow mornings and evenings spent by the fire. I personally love autumn, especially those sunny yet crisp days. However, when the weather turns and there’s a nip in the air, that’s when it becomes essential to keep cosy – and your clothing choices are essential for that.
Here are some transitional pieces that will help you to stay snug at home, whatever the weather throws at us this autumn:
Oversized knits
Oversized knits are a major trend in the casual autumnwear world. These are a great transitional choice, which can be layered over vest tops or beneath coats for walks in the crisp autumn air. My personal favourite is a chunky cardigan, as this can help your summer wardrobe work for autumn too.
Try loose, knitted dresses for the ultimate in comfy elegance, whether you’re welcoming guests into your house or heading out for a coffee break. These knitwear pieces can be layered over opaque tights and long-sleeved base layers to help you stay completely cosy in the cold.
Plush loungewear sets
Plush loungewear sets are a go-to choice for many – especially remote workers, like me! These sets are warm enough to keep the chilly autumn temperatures at bay and light enough to wear around the house without feeling overheated. Plus, the coordinating design helps you to look put-together enough if you need to jump on a video call for work.
Made from soft, breathable materials, these sets combine comfort and style, making you look effortlessly chic, even while or lounging! Pair your coordinating set with some luxury women’s slippers to complete both the cosy look and and comfy feel while you’re working from home in the autumn.
Velvet tracksuits
You may remember this trend from the first time around but velvet tracksuits are making a comeback. They’re stylish enough to wear out as a lightweight jacket and comfy enough for an afternoon binge-watching Netflix on the sofa.
Importantly, they exude a sense of glamour with their sumptuous texture without compromising on comfort, letting you seamlessly transition from a casual day at home to an impromptu meet-up with friends. Just add chic accessories and ankle boots to achieve the perfect look.
Luxury robes
Nothing screams luxury like a high-quality loungewear robe. Of course, I’m not talking about wearing one while you’re working from home, but it’s ideal for snuggly weekends at home. A good robe is perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth on top of your PJs, or simply to slip on after a long, relaxing bath.
You can match your robe to your interior decor for a truly stylish, Insta-ready aesthetic when it’s hanging in your bathroom, or simply pick a colour and style that you like. I’ve seen beautiful (and expensive!) velvet robes that I’d love to add to my Christmas wish list. A good, plush, fluffy robe is the hallmark of the ultimate decadent afternoon, making ordinary autumn days feel like an indulgent staycation.
Lightweight casual trousers
Lightweight casual trousers and tops are versatile pieces that can be paired with different accessories and footwear to create various looks. Opt for trendy earthy colours and textural fabrics for a touch of autumn flair.
I love a lightweight knit, as it allows for layering so you can regulate your temperature – you never quite know what the weather is going to do over the course of an autumn day. Choosing light knitted trousers and tops creates an effortless, stylishly casual look, perfect for online meetings or quick grocery runs.
Transitional loungewear pieces are an absolute necessity for those looking to stay stylish and comfortable during the cosy autumn days. With a wide array of options ranging from loungewear sets to oversized knits, it’s easy to create an autumn-ready wardrobe that’s stylish, versatile and cosy.
