Burberry gabardine padded overshirt
In celebration of the fabric that made its trench coats an icon, Burberry has released a capsule collection centred around gabardine. Invented by Thomas Burberry in 1879, prized for its weather-resistant properties, and now marked with a new short film set on an appropriately gloomy Snowdonia, the capsule is brimming with classic outerwear, knits, and off-duty pieces perfect for braving even the most inclement of British weather.
Jimmy Choo Sunny trainers
Can’t wait to welcome a little spring sunshine back into your wardrobe? Jimmy Choo’s now – and appropriately named – Sunny trainer is just the thing. Offered in romantic rose, corn yellow, classic black and chic cream (brides take note), its suede, leather and lace construction offers the perfect alternative to your everyday Sambas. Just be sure to check the forecast for rain before you leave the house.
Demellier Miami suede tote
Bag rotation in need of an upgrade? Smart enough for the office, slouchy enough for a weekend trip to the pub, Demellier’s Miami tote is an easy wear-anywhere piece you’ll be reaching for daily. Also offered in black or cream leather, and mocha and black suede, it’s this tan iteration that has caught my eye.
McQueen EC1 sneakers
A fresh new design from the McQueen shoe department, the EC1 sneaker is a classic low-top with a contemporary twist. Named for the post code of the original McQueen design studio and atelier in East London, its rich colour palette, elegant detailing and easy silhouette make these the perfect partner to tailored trousers and jeans alike.
Burberry personalised cashmere men's cardigan
Best friend to jeans, chinos and tailored trousers alike, every good wardrobe needs a great cashmere cardigan – and with its ribbed collar and contrast buttons, Burberry’s is a fantastic option you’ll be wearing for years. Better yet? It comes with free personalisation, allowing you to add your intials in a discreet lower case font beneath the famed Burberry logo. So chic.
Whistles cow print jacket
A limited edition release from Whistles (because what could be worse than drop £600+ on a jacket only for your mate to have the same one?), this fabulous jacket is made using a textured hair-on leather which guarantees no two are alike. Really want to make a statement? Pair with the matching mini skirt and turn heads everywhere you go.
Ancient Greek Sandals Thelma slippers
Having little patience for sore feet, I’m perpetually in search of shoes smart (and pretty) enough to wear in place of heels and, in Ancient Greek Sandals’ Thelma slippers, I’ve found quite the contender. Special enough to be saved for dressy occasions and great with both dresses and trousers, they’re also comfortable, elegant and guaranteed to be envy-inducing. I’ll take them in every colour.
Emello merino wool trousers
Built on a mission to create clothing with the comfort of loungewear but the style and quality of your smartest wardrobe staples, Emello’s collections are brimming with the elevated basics you didn’t know you needed (but absolutely must have). My pick of the bunch are these merino wool jogger-style trousers. Pair with the matching roll neck jumper and simply swap your slippers for a pair of heels when it comes time for cocktail hour.
Rails Como bag
Cool girl favourite Rails has just released its debut handbag collection – and it’s every bit as fashion forward as you would have hoped. A tight collection of four silhouettes, including hobo styles, totes, and shoulder bags, I’ve fallen for the Como: a mini barrel bag that’s perfectly proportioned for just the essentials. Also available in black and cream, this espresso hue is the colour of the season.
Aniye Records Matilda faux fur jacket
Faux fur is officially this season’s hottest outerwear look – and rock’n’roll inspired label Aniye Records is home to some seriously statement pieces. If floor skimming diva styles aren’t your vibe, the thigh-grazing Matilda is short and sweet but with plenty of drama-adding volume. Wear with evening gowns, jeans and everything in between.
Bear Brooksbank heart earrings
London-based jeweller Bear Brooksbank specialises in elegant everyday pieces designed not to languish in jewellery boxes, but be worn on repeat. If you love a good ear stack, the brand’s huggies are a revelation, with fun styles like these diamond heart earrings designed with removable charms for ultimate versatility. Go on, treat yourself.

Add this suede blazer to your winter wardrobe rotation for sophisticated style with a cool contemporary edge. A single-breasted silhouette in sugar brown, pair with your favourite denim or tailored trousers, day to night, anywhere and everywhere.
Paige Aria sweater

Farm Rio bandana scarf
Upgrade your winter accessories with Farm Rio’s vibrant bandana scarf. The perfect splash of colour and fun, featuring playful tropical-inspired patterns and festive prints, it will liven up any outfit with warm, adventurous spirit.
Burberry check trim T-shirt
No-one does elevated everyday staples like British heritage house Burberry. Yes, this is a black T-shirt – but with subtle addition of a trim in the classic Burberry check, it’s suddenly so much more. Refined rather than flashy, pair with the house’s equally brilliant jeans for an understated way to speak to your good taste.
Reformation Julia tassel pump
Reformation has joined forces with Julia Rabinowitsch, better known as the Millennial Decorator, to create three iterations of its party-ready Julia pump. Offered in croc-print burgundy leather, responsibly sourced tan calf hair and this utterly classic black satin, the elegant silhouette and ankle tie detail are perfect for adding interest to your favourite LBD.
Adanola mini varsity sweatshirt
The vogue for mini-me dressing shows no sign of slowing and, thanks to a new childrenswear range from Adanola, it now extends to athleisure too. Offering up a range of adorable mini joggers, sweatshirts, beanies, and pyjamas for kids aged 2-6, you’ll never have to worry about their weekend wardrobe again.
Lulu Guinness garnet lips clutch

Russell & Bromley Swanwick sandal
Swan around in these strappy sandals from Russell & Bromley for refined elegance this festive season. Crafted from a soft leather with delicate detailing and flared heels, they’re enough to make a subtle statement. Rendered in a fabulous rich purple, they are deeply alluring (and go with most wintry ensembles). The only thing you need to know is when the party starts.
Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum Gift Set
Treat the ladies in your life (or yourself, there’s no judging here) to Burberry’s Goddess eau de parfum gift set. With delicious notes of vanilla, a touch of lavender, and woody tones, the scent is simply irresistible. Even better, the beautifully presented box includes a devilishly indulgent body lotion too, as well as a spray, ideal for carrying in your handbag for a quick spritz on the move.
Vuori All The Feels flares
Don’t let the winter chill put you off your workouts – and for weatherproof activewear, look to Vuori.

Looking for a gift for the person who truly has everything? British fine leather goods brand Ettinger has you covered with its range of highly functional and asethetically pleasing wallets, bags, belts, and accessories. And while, sure, you could get them something practical like a wash bag or jewellery box, isn’t it so much more fun to offer something elegant, luxurious and utterly frivolous like this capra leather playing card case?
Rabanne sequin dress
Exclusive to Net-A-Porter, Spanish fashion house Rabanne has pulled out all the stops for this highly festive number. Crafted from crepe de chine embroidered from top to bottom with glittering gold sequins, its simple silhouette is the perfect foil to embellishment that really packs a punch. Pair with, well, nothing – come on, it hardly needs it, does it?

Burberry Bloomsbury tote bag
Gym kit, laptop, magazines, work documents: there are endless reasons why every woman needs a chic but practically sized tote bag.

Its clever reversible design features plain black leather on one side and a monochrome check on the other, guaranteeing extra bang for your buck.
John Smedley x Bill Nighy long-sleeve polo shirt
File this one under celebrity fashion designers I didn’t see coming. British menswear brand John Smedley has teamed up with veteran actor – and lifelong loyal customer – Bill Nighy to create a capsule of fine knitted pieces in gorgeous autumnal tones. The unisex collection spans lightweight polos, cashmere jumpers, merino wool long johns, and relaxed-fit cardigans for the ultimate in winter layering.

Choose from a selection of 18ct gold chains and bracelets, or leather necklaces, to create your perfect piece (or buy the full set for a cool £35k).
John Lewis x Labrum knitted chore jacket
As designer-high street collaborations go, this one is pretty exciting. John Lewis has tapped cult British label Labrum to create a capsule collection blending the legacy department store’s accessible quality with the creativity and cultural fusion that is a signature of Labrum founder and creative director Foday Dumbuya. Naturally, much of the collection sold out within the first day, so don’t hang around if you want to get your piece of the action.
Chanel Premiere Galon watch
Chanel’s first-ever watch has had a high-fashion makeover, with a new 18ct gold bracelet inspired by the couture braid. A signature of the Chanel suit from the early days, the twisted braid is offered with or without diamonds and finished with a classically chic minimalist black lacquered dial. I’m confident Coco would approve.
Reiss Lillian sandals
Introducing The Royal Ballet collection from Reiss. Inspired by the timeless elegance of classical dance, the 60-piece collection spans practical rehearsal and performance wear, as well as glamorous event dressing and off-duty style. Embrace balletcore with these pretty pink stiletto heels, crafted from smooth leather and accented with satin ribbons. These grown-up ballet shoes are actually worth the hype.
CDLP wool scarf
A classic scarf will go a long way this season. Case in point: CDLP’s wool design, rendered in a muted grey hue, that offers an oversized cut and fringed edges. Pair with anything and everything.
AllSaints Arlea tulle maxi skirt
A jet black tulle and lace trimmed maxi skirt – we’d expect nothing less dramatic from AllSaints. Encapsulating the brand’s signature rock chick style, the Arlea is delicate and playful with a grungy edge. Pair with chunky boots and a leather jacket for the ultimate autumn ensemble.

Channel Seventies bohemian spirit with Etro’s new Pony bag – the latest addition to its accessories collection, designed by creative director Marco De Vincenzo.

A bespoke selection of just 40 pieces that channels British tradition and modern glamour, elegance and grace with a quirky edge, it’s this sumptuous velvet cape that we can’t take our eyes off.
Russell & Bromley Dalton boot
Is it a loafer? Is it a boot? The Dalton delivers both, bringing a wonderful combination of smart sophistication with practicality and winter warmth into one sculptured and refined silhouette. Featuring a fringed trim and a new heritage snaffle, this is the boot to turn to for every occasion this season.
Victoria Beckham panelled suede midi skirt

Jimmy Choo x Connor Ives Gloria mule
Jimmy Choo has tapped British rising star Connor Ives to create a capsule of boots and mules rendered in the latter’s beloved animal prints. Choose between cheetah and zebra print pony leather on knee high stiletto boots or these elegant mules. Ideal for adding a pop of personality to little black dresses and everyday tailoring.
Marla Aaron x Nymphenburg trundle lock bracelet
In the right hands, fine jewellery and fine porcelain make for very happy bed fellows – and when the results are as pretty as this by Marla Aaron and Nymphenburg, I’m all for it. Made to order, this trundle bracelet promises a feminine twist on the American jeweller’s signature caribiner style, elevated with the aid of the heritage German porcelain maker.
Burberry tailored coat
Every man’s wardrobe needs a reliable, classic tailored overcoat and, if yours is beginning to look a little threadbare, Burberry’s is as about as timeless as the come. Ideal for wearing over a suit on your commute or pairing with a cashmere sweater and smart jeans at weekends, it’s made in Italy from brushed wool and features the classic Burberry check under the collar for a discreet nod to your good taste.
AllSaints Holly ballet flats
The trend for ballet flats is going nowhere – but they are getting a little more grown up. Making a departure from the style’s whimsical, romantic, school girl origins, Allsaints’ studded Holly designs are imbued with the brand’s signature rock’n’roll chic. Crafted in 100 per cent leather, I’ll be wearing mine to add a little personality to my office tailoring.
Herd Wyre vest
British knitwear brand Herd makes every single one of its fine sweaters, cardigans and accessories from Bluefaced Leicester wool sourced within 150 miles of its base in Yorkshire, from sheep allowed to roam free on the county’s rich pastures. The result is some of the softest, most sustainable knitwear around – I’m loving this Wyre vest as an update to summer’s wasitcoat trend.
Laura Vann Cleo earrings
British jeweller Laura Vann is on a mission to make fine jewellery accessible to all – and the result is exquisite pieces, like these Cleo earrings, at a very attractive price point. Featuring baguette-cut green cubic zirconia and facted white topaz set in a 14ct gold vermeil shell design, these are the sophisticated upgrade your everyday outfits have been looking for.
Moncler x A$ap Rocky Vardar down polo
For the latest in its series of Genius collaboration, Moncler has tapped A$AP Rocky to create a limited edition capsule collection inspired by the rapper’s streetwear style. Featuring a range of puffa jackets in vibrant red and green, as well as more understated black and white, as well as Rocky’s signature layered shorts, my pick of the collection is this rugby polo-style puffa shirt. A classy update to your usual winter jacket.
Smythson day pouch
If you like the idea of a crossbody phone case in theory, but have yet to find one that isn’t laden with beaded charms or juvenile prints, allow me to point you in the direction of Smythson’s new day pouch. Offered in a quartet of classic autumnal hues, including this pretty-as-a-picture raspberry leather, it even has room for your lipstick and keys so you can go hands-free all day.
Valentino x Vans checkerboard trainers
I didn’t see this collab coming but I am so here for it. Italian fashion house Valentino has leant its European sophistication to classic skate footwear label Vans, offering up four pairs of low-top canvas trainers sized for both men and women. Each pair combines the classic Vans checkboard print with the Valentino logo and a series of colourful prints resulting in shoes far too good to save for the skate park.
M/G Tasaki Disc Pearl ring
Part of Japanese pearl specialist Tasaki’s ongoing collaboration with jeweller Melanie Georgacopoulos, the new Disc Pearl collection is a celebration of sculptural forms and a modern way with classic South Sea pearls. Set in Tasaki’s unique Sakuragold, a proprietary form of rose gold inspired by Japan’s famed Sakura cherry blossom season, this contemporary ring is the epitome of everyday elegance.

Every piece in the collection is made from 100 per cent leather or suede and created with timeless designs that will just get better with age. I’ll be wearing this collared jacket with just about everything.
Swarovski Vienna ear cuffs
Proving that dramatic jewellery needn’t break the bank, Swarovski’s new Vienna collection offers up a series of statement pieces rendered in crystal and ruthenium-plated steel – meaning it won’t be a disaster if you happen to lose an earring on the dancefloor. Honouring Swarovski’s birthplace on the brand’s 130th anniversary, there are some incredible sculptural pieces to choose from, but these cascading ear cuffs have got my vote.
alice + olivia Beautiful Jeans
This month, Alice + Olivia launched its Confidence Campaign, introducing nine cult-favourite fits refined and renamed to prove that the right denim can transform how you feel. Headlined by American model Brooks Nader and featuring her sisters Sarah Jane, Grace Ann, and Mary Holland Nader, the campaign is a celebration of confidence. Our top pick?

Mother Pocketbook Hustler Roller Heel jeans
Yes, these jeans may have the longest name ever given to denim – but they represent a lot of history. Part of a capsule collection designed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Mother’s most popular style, The Hustler, these high-waisted, wide-legged styles are a shortcut to Seventies chic. Wear with lashings of jewellery and your highest, chunkiest heels.
