New-season updates to make now

Celebrate the start of autumn with a whole host of fresh-season wardrobe opportunities and new brands. Find your perfect pair of boots, wrap up your scarf selection for the season ahead, and arm yourself with a new bag, statement jewellery, a belt and a pair of sunglasses for crisp, sunny days.

Bold bags

From head-turning colour to standout shapes, autumn’s bags demand to be noticed; they are roomy yet refined, crafted from soft suede and smooth leather. Take your pick from top handle, tote, shoulder and hobo shapes from our new brands: Wandler, MM6 Maison Margiela, St. Agni, By Malene Birger and Naghedi. Find new favourites from Coach, Longchamp and Mulberry, as well as extra-special pre-loved designer bags from the likes of CHANEL, Gucci and Bottega Veneta.

Take a shine to new-season jewellery from Missoma, Monica Vinader and Astrid & Miyu. Jewellery is, of course, deeply personal and subjective, but we challenge you not to love standout pieces from our new brands: Maria Black and Completedworks. This season, mix metals, embrace the oversized, and stack as many bangles and rings as possible.

Get set for boot season and make a statement in knee-high silhouettes or bold animal print. The Western boot is making a comeback, and sleek stiletto styles are here to turn heads. Look to Vagabond, Mint Velvet and TOPSHOP for inspiration.

How to style accessories

- Rich jewel-tone burgundy is the colour of the season – be sure to make it pop against cool, neutral white

- Use a skinny belt (you choose the colour and texture) to cinch the waist of oversized coats and blazers 

- Oversized shades instantly elevate your outfit. We love TOM FORD’s latest rectangle style for a full cover up.
