Autumnal Elegance: Our Top Picks For The Season

As summer recedes and the days begin to cool, autumn brings with it a renewed appreciation for rich fabrications and a more refined palette. This transitional season is the ideal time to introduce more structured silhouettes, tactile textures and timeless tailoring into your wardrobe. Whether you're embracing the full spectrum of autumnal colour or leaning into soft autumn fashion tones, there are countless ways to reinterpret classic styling codes for the months ahead.

From elevated outerwear to refined knitwear, our curated selection of autumn fashion essentials will help you reimagine your seasonal wardrobe with elegance and versatility in mind. Explore how to compose ladies’ autumn fashion ensembles that are sophisticated, effortless and enduring — perfect for both everyday wear and occasion dressing.

1. Modern paisley

While prints are often associated with spring, autumn fashion in Australia gives us the opportunity to reinterpret them in more grounded, moody palettes. The Ines Silk Shirtmaker Dress and Ines Silk Top are standout pieces in this regard — offering a timeless expression of print and luxury fabrication.

Crafted in 100% Silk, the Ines styles speak to a refined aesthetic that transcends trends. The contemporary paisley print offers a subtle nod to the season without overpowering your overall look. Pair the shirt with tailored trousers for an elevated workwear ensemble or style the dress with a tailored coat for a complete autumnal look.

These pieces are ideal for those seeking autumn outfit ideas that can be styled up or down, depending on the day's agenda — without compromising on polish or ease.

2. The leather dress

Few garments encapsulate the mood of autumn quite like the Leather Dress. With its sleek cut and minimalist detailing, this piece brings a fresh perspective to women's fall apparel by combining contemporary design with enduring craftsmanship.

The structured silhouette and refined finish make it a commanding base layer that can be softened with knitwear or elevated with polished accessories. Try layering it under a soft trench or over a fine-gauge turtleneck for additional warmth and texture. 

Whether you're curating fall outfits for the office or an evening engagement, the leather dress allows you to channel a considered and confident aesthetic with ease.

3. Elevated layering with the wrap coat

Outerwear becomes essential as temperatures drop and few pieces offer the same sense of ease and refinement as the Wrap Coat. Designed to be worn open or belted for added structure, it effortlessly complements a range of autumn fall outfits.

Its softly draped lapel and longer line create a timeless silhouette, while its premium fabrication of wool and cashmere ensures warmth without weight. Pair it over flowing dresses, tailored separates or slimline trousers to lend structure and balance to your ensemble.

4. Knitwear that endures

Knitwear remains a core element of autumn clothing, providing comfort and warmth while still maintaining elegance. This season, look to classic textures and refined silhouettes that lend themselves to both casual and formal settings.

Our knitwear collection features luxurious yarns and understated detailing to help you build a versatile seasonal wardrobe. Whether you opt for a classic crew neck, a buttoned cardigan or a roll-neck pullover, the key lies in selecting pieces with quality craftsmanship and enduring appeal.

Style your knitwear with tailored wool pants or over silk separates for a textural contrast to evoke a soft autumn fashion mood.

5. Subtle embellishments

For those looking to introduce a touch of elegance into their autumn closet without overstatement, the Beaded Cashmere Top offers a refined solution. Finished with delicate beadwork along the neckline and crafted from pure cashmere, it is ideal for day-to-evening wear when you need a piece that communicates quiet luxury. Style it with tailored trousers or tuck it into an A-line midi skirt to create a balanced silhouette. 

6. The power of powder green

While autumn is often associated with earthy tones, soft pastels such as powder green offer a modern counterpoint that adds lightness to darker seasonal palettes. Our Burton Wool Jacket and Classic Wool Pant set offer a striking way to explore this palette.

Expertly tailored and made in Australia, these pieces are grounded in traditional forms but softened by the unexpected colourway — offering a fresh approach to autumn fashion in Australia. Worn together or as separates, they provide countless options for creating elevated autumn outfit ideas. This tonal pairing is particularly well suited to professional settings, offering a polished yet contemporary option that bridges the gap between seasons.

7. Timeless tailoring

Autumn is the perfect season to invest in tailoring that balances structure and ease. Consider anchoring your wardrobe with versatile separates that can be layered, styled and worn in multiple combinations.

Look to the Women's Autumn/Winter Collection to find tailored jackets, trousers and blouses that serve as the foundation for any refined autumn wardrobe. These pieces are designed with careful attention to proportion and fabrication, allowing them to move seamlessly between work and leisure settings.

Whether you're dressing for a boardroom meeting or an evening event, timeless tailoring remains a cornerstone of ladies autumn fashion — lending structure and elegance to any look.

8. Refined outerwear

As the temperature continues to dip, selecting the right coat becomes more than just a practical choice — it is central to defining your autumn style. Our women's coats collection offers a curated range of silhouettes, from classic trench coats to more contemporary wrapped styles.

Opt for coats in versatile neutral tones that will work across your existing wardrobe. These pieces are designed to layer comfortably over both lightweight and heavier garments, providing functionality and form in equal measure. With a focus on enduring design, these coats will remain in rotation well beyond a single season.
