This Is The Fashion Brand We’re Bookmarking For Autumn
Autumn is on the horizon and, while we can lament the loss of 8pm sunsets, one thing we’re actually looking forward to about the cooler months is the fashion. Each season brings with it a slew of trends (and micro trends) but if you’re looking to invest in pieces that will stand the test of time, we’ve got just the thing.
In partnership with
Free People’s new We The Free Autumn 2023 collection delivers heritage-inspired staples, including denim, leather goods and everyday basics that you’ll love for years to come.
The collection, modelled by industry icon Grace Elizabeth, is all the inspiration we need to get excited for the change in weather. So, let’s get into the pieces we love most from the range.
Lived-In Denim

Denim is a year-round wardrobe mainstay, which means it’s one of the main pieces worth investing in. This season, it’s all about loose, effortless silhouettes – we’re talking wide and barrel-leg jeans, slouchy jackets and the odd belt to bring it all together. Of course, no autumn 2023 style edit can go by without also giving a nod to the vintage trend returning to the fashion set this month: the denim maxi skirt.

Everyday Basics

The items in your wardrobe with the best cost-per-wear ratios are, invariably, the everyday staples. Worn time and time again, they’re often the first pieces you reach for as they team versatility with comfort. Whether it’s an oversized leather jacket or a minimalist long-sleeve top, classic buys do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to maximising your outfit options. In this sense, they really are the humble fashion MVPs.
Bags Designed To Last
A well-made leather bag should last for years, if not decades. And the key to longevity is the combination of craftsmanship and quality. Free People’s luxe fabrications and hand-touched accents dovetail these two traits. Meanwhile, the unique wash treatments give the timeless silhouettes a modern twist. We love the metallic sling bag, perfect for running errands about town without compromising on style.

Vintage-Inspired Shoes
Shoes are the finishing touch that can famously make (or break) an outfit. If in doubt, opt for a tried and tested style, such as a retro-inspired boot or sneaker silhouette. This season, we’re all about the calf-grazing, pointed cowboy boot or, if you’re feeling a slightly tougher vibe, a distressed biker design.
