Alex Jones’ autumn edit: 8 outfits to inspire
your wardrobe

On the lookout for your next autumnal outfit? Don't worry, Alex Jones has you covered. Her latest edit brings together a mix of Fair Isle knits, easy denim, cosy cords and heritage-inspired layers in eight outfits made for the season ahead. Better yet, we’ve pulled together simple styling ideas you can make your own: from seasonal textures to finding new ways to wear your old favourites.

Fair Isle and corduroy are natural partners for autumn, bringing colour and texture together in one easy outfit. Alex shows a couple of ways to make this combination work: a knitted jumper with wide-leg cords creates a relaxed silhouette, while slim-flare cords look slightly more streamlined. Ruby, cherry, midnight and storm grey also show that autumn dressing doesn't have to mean sticking exclusively to neutrals.

Style tip: Let your trouser shape change your style mood. Wide-leg cords create a relaxed look that's ideal for everyday dressing, while a slim flare gives your favourite knit a smarter finish

Our best secret to autumn layering is adding interest, not fuss. Standout pieces like Alex's herringbone cape make a simple roll neck instantly feel more considered, while the check wax jacket and chocolate cords combine two timeless autumn textures. Using a similar seasonal palette within your layers makes it easy to combine knitwear, herringbone, checks and cord without things feeling too busy.

Style tip: Mix texture, as well as colour. Bring depth to your outfit with herringbone, knitwear, cord and waxed finishes, even if your autumn palette is filled with simple neutrals.

Jeans are the ultimate wardrobe starting point; it's what you wear with them that changes the look. Alex pairs ankle-grazer denim with a pointelle-knit and check jacket for a smarter layered outfit, then takes the same jeans in a sportier direction with a heritage rugby shirt. For another take on double denim, a tie-neck denim blouse paired with wide-leg jeans creates a tonal look that feels more put together.

Style tip: Wear your favourite jeans, the ones you know and love, then switch up your top layer. Tailoring adds polish, while a rugby shirt keeps things casual with a hint of preppiness. Opt for tonal denim to make an everyday fabric feel more put together.

Don't save embellishments exclusively for special occasions. Alex combines our softly embellished Sea glass jumper with a simple pair of black trousers, letting the extra detail become the sole focus of the outfit. It's an easy recipe to follow if you're searching for comfort with a sprinkle of something a little more special.

Style tip: Balance statement details with simple separates. If your knit has embellishment, texture or sparkle, a classic trouser gives it room to shine without making the whole outfit feel dressed up.

Alex's autumn edit is built around easy layers designed to mix and match: Fair Isle knitwear, relaxed denim, cord trousers, versatile layers and heritage-inspired outerwear. Tactile fabrics and rich seasonal colours bring each outfit together, while the switch-up of trouser shape and styling combinations brings new life to familiar favourites.

Whether you're refreshing your everyday layers or looking for a new way to wear an old favourite, take a few pointers from Alex and make autumn dressing your own.
