Thinking ahead- what are your Autumn/winter essential pieces of clothing?

[Nearlyadoctor]

I know, I know it's only June but I've just been having a clear out of my wardrobe and there's a lot of items that are either ok or even a bit meh.

Thinking ahead to the Autumn I'd like to have a wardrobe of items that I actually want to wear and will be worn until they need replacing, not a wardrobe of items that I don't want to wear/ misbuys, that always seem too good to get rid of and will never be worn out.

Please share your capsule / essential items for Autumn and Winter.

thermals

Mini skirts with opaque tights

Biker boots

Sleeveless shift dresses over roll necks or sometimes over shirts

Thick woolly tights as soon as it is cold enough!

Currently winter here and I'm in:

Biker boots
Oxblood ankle boots

Black skinnies
Knitted tube skirt
Denim midi button up pencil skirt

Ribbed jumper dresses + opaques

Cold shoulder tshirt/jumpers
Cowl/drop back tshirt/jumpers

Leather biker jacket

All in shades of black, grey marl, navy, camel and cream.

I think I'm going to have to look for a biker jacket....

Last year I bought the M&S Indigo soft cord leggings in navy and I knew I should've bought the black too....... could I find the black ones later ? Nope

So. Black soft cord leggings.
Lots of jumpers, twinset cardi& sleeveless tops. Not too thick. Not high neck or poloneck.

I have coats for A/W (never wore them much last year)

Something in paisley or brocade textured.

I love winter shopping, my resolve holds out all Summer, fails in Autumn.

JamieVP I like your colour scheme it sounds very classic.

Thanks Rebel. I'm quite lucky that I live somewhere with very mild, dry winters. I never really have to dress for bad weather!

When you don't have to wrap up against the elements, I think it is easier to look a bit more put together. My style falls apart when I come back to the UK and it's freezing.

Lots of ankle boots - perhaps patent this year
More black skinnies
Merino wool jumpers with vests underneath
Leather
I love winter!
