There are 2 types of people in this world – those willing to chuck a sicky over a freak 30 degree day and those who can’t seem to steam and press their winter wardrobes quick enough. Whatever category you fall into there’s no denying that Autumn brings a happy medium and with that: a new tran-seasonal wardrobe. And on the accessories front – whether it be bags, belts, shoes and stockings – if one thing’s for sure, we’re not going to run out of interesting new ways to up the ante this season!
If you’ve found yourself wondering what to put on your shopping list this season, then look no further.
We’ve created a list of the 10 key pieces you should have this Autumn, and we’ve tracked down exactly where to find them!

1. Ruffled Pants
Last Autumn we were loyal to the culotte but this year there’s a new comfy contender in town. Flared and fringed pants are slowly making ruffles in our social media windows and by the end of the season just about all of us will have a pair in our wardrobes.
Aki from The Sleek Avenue wears Asos’s Liquor & Poker Ruffle Jeans in black which are, no word of a lie, currently retailing at the bargain price of $31.50!!!! START THE BLOODY CAR!!

2. Embroidery
Celebrate the launch of Topshop Australia online (and no, this isn’t a stitch up) with an array of embroidered denim this fall. Replace cut-offs with delicate floral appliqué and you won’t be feeling the least bit blue about covering up! I might be a Jamie girl through and through but these Mom jeans are bang on trend right now.
Twice Blessed wear the MOTO Floral Embroidered Mom Jeans in Blue and Bleach, both retailing at $129.95. Now give yourself a pat on the back because having spent over $75, you’ve just qualified for free shipping!

3. Turtlenecks
Tis the time to be making a strategic investment in a woolly turtleneck for the cooler seasons ahead, an excellent alternative for those not sold on scarves. You might find yourself biting your lip over I Love Mr Mittens price tag but these individually hand knitted garments are of the highest quality and the perfect addition to your autumn wardrobe. Zanita wears the Cropped Cable Knit currently retailing at $260!

4. Fur
Bold faux fur ensembles will be making a comeback this Autumn and regardless of what side of the fence you sit on when it comes to real vs. faux fur, there are high fashion options to suit all! Pictured above, Unreal Fur’s Supernova Coat in marble ($339) and the Unreal Dream Jacket in peach ($289).

5. Metallic boots
These head turning boots will instantly inject statement style into any given outfit! Plus if They All Hate Us has given their tick of approval, by including them in their monthly wardrobe ‘must haves’, then they must be as good as they look! Shop the Betts Chrome boots for $99.99!

6. Puffer jackets
As all great trends tend to do, the puffer jacket has reemerged from the depths of our 90’s wardrobes, only this time to have had a few tucks and tweaks. The puffer jacket we all know and love will be available in 2 main styles this fall, either sporting an oversized collar or without one at all.
Pictured here is the Asos Oversized Collarless Padded Jacket in luxe satin, available for just $95 in an array of colours and fabrics.

7. Corset belts
The sole item that instantly adds femininity to any oversized outfit! Like Alina I purchased this very same black corset belt from Zara over the weekend and have already worn it three times! It effortlessly accentuates a woman’s natural curve and at just $29.95 you can’t really go wrong with this wardrobe staple.

8. Fishnet tights
It’s no longer considered risqué business when sporting fishnets in broad daylight, in fact it is encouraged. Fishnets are now not only trending at unforgivable dance concerts but also under ripped jeans, providing quite an iconic look this season. ASOS have answered their shoppers request and are now selling fishnet tights for just $15!

9. Loafers
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will have noticed a style not too dissimilar from a slipper walking round town. Loafers are the new IT-piece and whether you’re rocking fur, metallic gold or embroidery, you’re sure to be seen in a fashionable light in these must haves. Picture here on Elle Ferguson are the Betts Harvard loafers in gold retailing at $69.99.

10. Embellished bags
Whether you feel like taking part in a little DIY, or would rather someone else put in the hard yards for you, I wouldn’t suggest going past embellished bags this autumn. We’ve only just entered the third week of Autumn and already statement bags are gaining a lot of attention and traction for the season ahead!
Although Gucci doesn’t fit into many people’s budgets, the label’s embroidered bag range certainly is the crème de la crème. Pictured is Gucci’s Dionysus GG Supreme going for a modest $4,235… Now launch those tabs and get a-clicking, there might be sun today but it’s certainly going to leave us soon enough.
