We asked our team to share what’s on their new-season wish list
Longer nights, falling leaves and a drop in temperature. Yes, autumn is incoming and, to celebrate the change in the season, we’ve compiled a handy edit of newness across our Beauty, Home, Tech and Fashion categories. Each product – from Charlotte Tilbury setting powder to suede boots and extra-large air fryers – has been carefully selected by the team. So, consider this your definitive list of the best new-season essentials, guaranteed to become instant favourites.
Beauty
“Give your makeup some serious staying power with Charlotte Tilbury’s new loose powder. Infused with nourishing rose wax and almond oil, it blurs pores and fine lines for a complexion-enhancing finish.
“A scent suggestion for autumn is CRA-YON Passport Amour Eau de Parfum. New to John Lewis, it’s the ideal autumn transitional scent because it balances the rich sweetness and warmth of rose with woody notes of oud and smooth musk.
“The newly reformulated Clarins Double Serum Eye has jumped straight to the top of my wish list, too. The dual formula helps visibly reduce wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness while restoring radiance to the eye area. It is genuinely excellent.”
– Lisa Paul, Category Lead Skincare & Discovery
Tech
“Autumn, for me, is all about cosying up at home doing more cooking. That said, it needs to be quick and easy, so I love that the Ninja CRISPi PRO XL Air Fryer can be used for prepping, cooking and storing food. It has seven cooking functions, including Air Fry, Roast and Bake, and the PFAS-free glass containers and lids can go straight into the dishwasher afterwards – win!
“With the Great British Bake Off back on screens soon, now is the perfect time to get back into the kitchen and create a showstopper. The Neff N70 Slide and Hide oven has a clever door that slides underneath when opened, which not only saves space but also makes checking on your bakes super easy. It’s also self-cleaning, which helps on the clear up.
“And, last but not least, coffee: the Lavazza Tabli is a clever capsule-free machine. Using innovative tabs made from compressed coffee, it’s a more sustainable way to enjoy your morning cup.”
– Ellen North-Row, Senior Marketing Manager, Technology & Sport
Home
“In terms of colour trends, Mustard is setting the tone for autumn this year, meaning, our John Lewis Oxford Footstool is a need, rather than a want. The floor-grazing box-pleat skirt is beautifully crafted, and the cushion is so comfortable you’ll want to sit on it as much as rest your feet on it.
“Lighting choices always play an important role in transforming the mood of a room – the John Lewis Merluna Pendant Ceiling Light is solid proof that you should turn on the ‘big light’, especially when it’s as beautiful as this one.
“Lastly, it’s candle season! This Robert Welch candelabra proves that stainless steel is no longer a trend, but a mainstay of modern-day interiors. Plus, it pairs perfectly with our new Scandi and Heritage collections.”
– Lucy Ryder, Senior Marketing Manager for Home
Fashion
“I’m forward marching into the new season in the Stella boots. Designed in-house, they are made from butter-soft tan suede and have an easy-to-wear kitten heel.
“New for Autumn is No Problemo, the premium streetwear brand from the team behind Aries, known for its bold graphics and unisex appeal – this embroidered cap adds a sporty contrast to any classic autumn look.
“Lastly, the animal print trend shows no sign of slowing down. Within Kids’ clothing, The New Society’s cow print joggers offer a fun pop of print for effortless style.”
– Allanah Colson, Senior Fashion Planning Manager
