I'm currently looking at my wardrobe and what I might want to update it for autumn.

I'm mid50s, 5'7" and size 14.

I'm currently looking at these:

Boots

Jacket

And carrot shape jeans.

What have you got your eye on?

Absolutely nothing appeals to me this season.
The colours are drab and boring so I’ll be looking on Vinted for something cheerier.

The shops are full of drab greige clothes aren't they. I suit jewel colours, so nothing for me either.

@minnowonthesay Agree! I'm 5ft9 and about a 14 on the bottom half. I went for tall L and they are perfect. The level of comfort is ridiculous. They look really good too. I got a pair with actual buttons and zip as most are just pull on. Also have some tailored linen blend Halara trousers which are amazing.

@minnowonthesay

would you mind linking to which ones you bought please? TIA

I think this is for you @ilovesushi

TragicMuse · 25/09/2026 22:01

Oooh! They do! Thanks, I shall get along to our local Clark’s…

TheBers · 25/09/2026 22:42

Way too early.
By the end of November they will be some stupid trend that I will get round to buying in the sale in February. By which time I’ll get a months wear, it’s all about what’s going to be hot this summer.

Oh, they are nice. I like the grey. This thread is dangerous!

CarpeVitam · 26/09/2026 11:53

That’s great, thanks so much 😊

anon2022anon · 26/09/2026 18:37

Tu has also had my money so far this season!
I've ordered the kilt to try.
Red windbreaker is better than the Zara version
Lovely quality top in a gorgeous colour
Boots not leather, so will probably go back, but I've been hunting this shape toe. Come on brown croc too, which I like
Nice check trousers
Hiking style trainers

BIossomtoes · 26/09/2026 19:06

Love that top. I’m well pissed off that it’s sold out but not surprised.

OnlyUsername · 27/09/2026 21:46

I am really struggling. I was in London this weekend and nothing inspired me. It's like we should all be dressing like the cast of Ludwig or Sherlock. Brown/greige and practical.

Silverbirchleaf · 28/09/2026 11:37

I keeping seeing the colour ‘greige’. Thought it was a typo but too many people one have mentioned it, so looked it up. It’s an actual colour!

Cantonet · 28/09/2026 11:48

I tried on this lovely Nicole Farhi trench style coat in khaki in a wool/cashmere mix at Tk Maxx. It's also got a funnel shaped button up collar. Looking online it's available in other colours. Nicole Farhi is meant to be relaunching her range this autumn. I'm wondering, but not complaining why it's all ending up in TK Maxx.

Currently trying to resist ordering these:

https://rixolondon.com/products/kove-scarf-black

https://rixolondon.com/products/micah-jacket-alexa-flower-embroidery-black

https://www.plumo.com/products/charone-jacket

I’ve recently bought four skirts (one faux leather, two satin and lace and one wool), a couple of tops and t-shirts and even though I’ve lost a lot of weight I’m going to rewear my cashmere from last year but now oversized. No business buying any more (especially as I’m still dieting) but these are lovely statement pieces!

WrongWomen · 28/09/2026 12:24

Fabulous choices @user593 !!

There is always lots of nice Nicole Farhi stuff at TK Maxx. It makes me wonder if they own the brand name now as you never see it anywhere else! I will have to Google it.

Fabulous choices @user593 !!

They are, I love the black and white jacket particularly.

quirkychick · 29/09/2026 21:34

@user593 those are gorgeous! You're just reminded me I have a grey black Mongolian scarf, it is very warm.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 30/09/2026 20:55

CharlotteStreetW1 · 26/08/2026 22:21

I absolutely do not need but will almost certainly end up buying this coat.

https://www.whitestuff.com/p/8661/KAIA-TWEEDY-COAT/NAVY_MULTI?

I did buy it. Didn't feel like £150 worth. Sent it back.

petitpasta · 30/09/2026 21:26

I eventually found my perfect slouchy silver leather bag on vinted. RRP £99, BNWT on vinted for £30. It's been in use continually for the last week!

Ooh, love a good slouchy bag. Do you have a picture?

It's this one, although the leather is softer than this picture suggests. It's slouchy perfection!

This thread has made me realise why I am so deeply unfashionable. I haven't liked anything that posters have linked here.
