Anyone want to talk Autumn shopping wish lists?

620 replies

I know it’s not even August yet, and I’ve still not gone on my summer holiday yet - but there’s a chill in the air, I’ve packed a box of freshly picked blackberries in the freezer for autumnal crumbles and while looking for school uniform today, noticed quite a few burgundy items in shop windows.

So what’s on your autumnal shopping list?

Im after a pair of black knee high boots. (My old ones finally had to be retired last year, beyond what could be repaired.)

I’ve just bought a dark brown cashmere jumper on vinted. Am now going to start the hunt for the perfect dark green cashmere jumper or cardie.

I think I need new work trousers but not sure what shape we’re doing this year. (Wide leg ? That doesn’t work well with puddles.)

Anyone else with a list for when the new season starts arriving in the shops?

@WoolerOwl you definitely are. Love my black kilt.

They’re gorgeous! And Dune are usually comfy too. Had to return my Grenson sale boots - bit too narrow for my feet.

I received them yesterday and they are comfy. I wasn't expecting them to fit on my calves, I had to get standard as I dithered too much and then wide were sold out, but I'm glad I went for it as they fit perfectly 😊 now looking forward to autumn to wear them.

I've seen a dress too that I'd really like but now I can't remember where I've seen it 🤦🏻‍♀️ hopefully the ad will come up on my phone again 🤞

I have a silver/pewter kilt pin I can send you ? DM me. Yes I’ve had to move the buttons a smidge on my kilt as well.

Oh thank you, but I bought one last night x

Yes I think so too! I was chuckling when I was reading it thinking of you WoolerOwl I wonder if the DM ever lurk on these threads ?!!

Cyclingmummy1 · 14/08/2025 13:35

I've bought a brown belt from Tu. It was £4! It looks great.

Well if the real influencers or journos are lurking, here's my just-ordered next top tip. And no, I'm not on commission for Sainsbury's!

That bag was featured on ITV this morning show today.

I’ve rather fallen for this Joe Browns Military Jacket. I usually find JB a bit too quirky but they do occasionally throw up some lovely jackets and coats.

I absolutely love that!

Ooo I love that bag WoolerOwl haha you’re on a roll! Just got my TU M&E check trousers and they’re fab. The Long is very Long on me even with boots on so changing for Reg. I’m 5ft 6”. Brown belt is gorgeous and keeping that. Whilst I was collecting I had a browse and there’s some faux suede in - picked up the brown faux suede maxi skirt. It’s A line and I know pencils are back but I’m still keeping it to go with my camel cashmere roll.

GameofJones -
love that jacket too !

BangingOn · 14/08/2025 18:43

I was in London today and had a mooch around Oxford Street. Lots of brown everywhere but nothing that really grabbed me, except seeing the brown AllSaints skirt I’d been dithering over and loving it… but obviously it’s now sold out online and in store in my size.

I’ve cheered myself up by ordering this COS dress.

I’m enjoying rediscovering old favourites in my wardrobe after losing weight. My style is a mixture of Cos, M&S, Toast, and Tu at Sainsbury’s plus Vinted and charity shops.

I’ve just ordered a long black tailored kilt from Tu, which looks quite interesting, plus the black Ponte boxy blazer, and the chocolate mock croc belt. And a long brown cashmere cardigan coat from Vinted. And some great jeans from New Look (Adelae dark wash).

What I really need is a very dark espresso brown blazer, preferably wool or wool blend. I find lots of what’s available is too orangey brown/tan/olive/beige to suit my clear spring neutral/just warm and very pale colouring. Any ideas? I wouldn’t mind trousers in a similar colour too, but not looking for a suit so they don’t have to match.

Reiss has a lot of new chocolate brown stock in including this blazer in regular and petite

Also have some lovely chocolate jeans

SpiralSister · 15/08/2025 20:08

I am (finally) off to collect THE KILT tomorrow! If it works on me, I’m planning to wear with a burgundy ‘Queen’ T-shirt from Kemi Telford, or grey chunky Aubin&Wills jumper for when it finally gets cold (both Vinted).

SpiralSister · 16/08/2025 15:06

Well, I’ve got it and am v pleased. Good fit and length on me (5.5). I can see it getting a lot of wear..

OffToSeaInABlizzard · 16/08/2025 15:40

I love the idea of a kilt with a Kemi Telford t shirt!

Talisin · 16/08/2025 16:13

I’ve become a sheeple and been influenced into both the kilt and the faux suede skirt from Tu😁

Fallen disastrously in love with these Moda in Pelle boots which they call pewter and I’d call metallic brown or possibly bronze. Luckily for my bank balance, I know that MiP are always too narrow for my feet so I shall just continue to stare wistfully.

Oh, they are nice, @Talisin. Also fortunately for me, they are from Next who I won’t buy from, as they use Evri for (non) delivery. My boycott of the worst courier in the world has saved me money once again!

Oh they sell them elsewhere as well. John Lewis for example. Sorry😈

Moda in Pelle have their own website and shops too 😁

What footwear is everyone planning on wearing with the kilt? I wore my similar kilt with long black, low heeled boots last winter which I liked but wanted something lighter for autumn. Flat loafers and socks isn’t a look for me.
