GREAT OUTDOORS: Autumn wardrobe staples from Marks & Spencer, River Island and Primark

Get ready for cooler days this autumn with the perfect colour palette for the season. For a wardrobe update, look to traditional colours associated with the season – browns, burnt orange, mustard and camel are all key tones for an on-trend outfit.

An easy style update is of course a coat. Tick two trend boxes with one item of clothing by adding a checked coat to your outfit.

Stradivarius’ houndstooth is a classic print while Marks & Spencer saw fit to create a coat two piece with matching trousers for those who love to stand out from the crowd.

Model wears:

Check coat, £80, River Island. Roll neck, £18, M&Co. Jumpsuit, £45.99, Stradivarius. Trainers, £60, Vans. Ring, £12.50, Joma Jewellery

Check coat, £99; check trousers, £59, both Marks & Spencer. Top, £12.99, Stradivarius. Trainers, £175, Crime London. Earrings, £198; necklace, £298, both Dower & Hall

If you prefer a single colour for your outerwear, try a textured coat instead in a muted classic camel tone. Teddy Bear coats are set to be a huge trend this year and their chunky fabric will keep you warm and fuzzy.

Snap up this bargain version from George at Asda for only £35.

Looking to invest this season? Luisa Cerano’s brushed textured wool coat is the perfect style for something a little different and will look great when teamed with wide leg corduroy trousers from LK Bennett.

Model wears:

Roll neck, £135, Jaeger. Teddy coat, £35, George at Asda. Cord skirt, £24.90, Uniqlo. Earrings, £198, Dower & Hall

Coat, £899, Luisa Cerano. Top, £79.95, Scotch & Soda. Trousers, £165, L.K. Bennett. Trainers, £32, River Island. Earrings, £198; Necklace, £298, both Dower & Hall.

Every winter wardrobe needs a chunky cable knit jumper and this oversized orange style from Topshop is number one on our shopping list as temperatures dip.

Try styling it with a silk slip skirt for a modern take on a fashion classic.

Don’t be afraid to mix colours either – this pale pink slip skirt from Hope is the perfect match to counterbalance the bright shade of knit.

Model wears: Cable-knit jumper, £42, Topshop. Skirt, £120, Hope. Earrings, £198, Dower & Hall.

Another style to return to the fashion fold this year is corduroy. Once the preserve of small children and fusty librarians, the chunky fabric has made a comeback in the form of the tailored suit.

This burgundy two piece from ASOS looks great styled simply with a pussy bow blouse and trainers for a fresh twist on an old favourite. Faux fur has also had an update this season.

Replace last year’s coat with this PVC trimmed bomber jacket and team it with similar tonal pieces such as stripes from LK Bennett and flared trousers for a seventies style outfit that Starsky and Hutch would be proud of.

Model wears: Coat, £30, Primark. Top, £75, L.K. Bennett. Trousers, £124.95, Scotch & Soda. Boots, £64.99, New Look. Earrings, £198, Dower& Hall

Cord suit jacket, £55; cords trousers, £35, both Asos. Shirt, £199, Marc Cain. Trainers, £75, Vans. Earrings, £148, Dower & Hall
