We never thought we’d say it, but there might just be such a thing as too many clothes. Blame the Marie Kondo effect, but the advent of a shiny new season has got us craving a more minimal approach to dressing (not to mention the ability to close our wardrobe door).
But fear not, fashion fans – streamlining your OOTD doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your style. The trick? Nailing those mix-and-match key pieces that you can wear pretty much anywhere.
Ready to meet your new season dream team? We’ve teamed up with Tu to bring you 6 of the very best wardrobe multitaskers to buy RN and wear all autumn long. Get your scroll on and shop the Grazia edit below…
On your biker
Weekday, weekend, dressed up, dressed down... the biker is the ever-so-slightly-edgy cherry on top on pretty much every outfit you can dream of. Last year was all about classic black, but this AW16 we love the lived-in feel of this storm grey.
Biker jacket, £35
Go graphic
Graphic prints were all over the runway (and our Insta feed) this spring, and the good news is they're sticking around this season too. These sleek tapered trews are a flattering way to try the trend – wear with a tee and Gucci-inspired loafers for the office, and swap in heels and a matching tux jacket for drinks.
Trousers, £20
Boot camp
New boots are an autumn non-negotiable (in fashion land, anyway) and a goes-with-anything black pair are guaranteed to rack up a cost-per-wear your purse will be proud of. Bare legs, tights, trousers – it all works. We'll be styling ours with stepped hem denim for max style points.
Boots, £25
Keep it short
Midi feeling a bit meh? Good news – the mini is back on the style agenda. Channel the Coach catwalk in a '60s inspired A-line, and tuck in a shirt or light knit to show off that panel detail. Our pick? This statement coral number, obviously.
Skirt, £16
Push the buttons
Let's talk fashion maths for a second. One white shirt = endless styling options. Layered under a pini or worn alone, this sheer panelled update on the classic shape will see you right through to spring. Just add a red lip.
Shirt, £16
Bowled over
When it comes to accessories, a staple black bag is a total no-brainer. This bowler style ticks the trend box and will go with pretty much anything – we'll be wearing ours with a denim dress and minimal sneaks for a polished weekend look.
Bag, £14
