5 Classic Pieces Our Editors Are Obsessed With For Autumn/Winter
Each season, our Pinterest boards and Instagram feeds are overrun with fashionistas sporting new trends to try. The question is, which of those actually make it off the feed and into the lives (and wardrobes) of stylish women every day? To answer the question, we asked a handful of The Handbook‘s most stylish editors and team members to share the one item they’re obsessed with for the colder months, all available to shop at Lounge.

1. The weekend away bag
This piece has completely elevated my airport aesthetic. It is the perfect weekend bag for city breaks or staycations. I love the suede material paired with the gold detailing, it feels so luxe and sophisticated. While it pairs effortlessly with any everyday outfit, I especially love it styled with a classic trench coat for a weekend in the countryside to give that timeless, old-money look.

2. The everyday skirt
Come autumn/winter, I have a habit for living in my jeans 24/7 – that’s why I love this denim maxi skirt as an easy alternative. The column style silhouette feels instantly polished, with a decided 90s feel to it, and I am a fan of the chocolate brown tone instead of the standard dark denim shades like black or indigo.

3. The cosy co-ord
I’m obsessed with this cream two-piece. The slouchy jumper pairs perfectly with the matching skirt, making it an effortless set for cosy days styled with ballet flats or loafers. But both pieces are just as versatile worn separately: I’d pair the jumper with jeans and boots for an easy everyday look, while the skirt would work beautifully with an oversized knit or fitted turtleneck vest and black boots for a very vintage-inspired take.

4. The versatile knit
The minute the autumn season rolls around, cosy knits become a staple in my outfit rotation. What I love about this piece is it can be worn with a pair of trousers and loafers for a smart work fit, or thrown on with a slouchy pair of jeans for autumnal weekend activities. It’s the ultimate seasonal basic.

5. The romantic top
This gorgeous top brings a touch of whimsy and fun to a classic office outfit. The subtle plunging, waved neckline paired with button detailing and a soft cable knit oozes femininity while providing comfort as a staple transitional piece. Outside of the office, I would style this with some low-rise, wide-leg jeans, a brown leather shoulder bag, and ballet flats for coffee with the girls.
