The humble plaid shirt has had a quietly compelling makeover this season. Suddenly, seeing it teamed with great jeans and special basics has given it a whole new verve.

The jacket of the season? It’s not a trench, rather a leather jacket with an elongated neckline. We’re seeing stylish French dressers team theirs with an all-black outfit.

Utility trousers, a striped shirt and a silk headscarf? It’s the kind of look that has kudos now.

La rentrée (that is, the return to order after a summer of holidaying) has appeal when you can team sharp suiting with comfort-first ballerinas. It’s an honest approach to dressing that has appeal as we ease into a new season.

Speaking of suiting, we’re tempted by the simplicity of head-to-to white, with black accessories, as a beguiling option for after-dark.
The trend for Western-influenced belts, as seen on the runway for AW26, is trickling down to the streets. Dior embraced gold medallion styles with bow details, while Polo Ralph Lauren doubled down on Ralph Lauren’s love of the great American west with engraved silver tones that nod to the designer’s vast archive. We say: nab a vintage style; it will add edge to any outfit.
A red cardigan feels like as much of an autumnal staple as an excellent trench coat. Look to Poudre Organic, Sézane and & Daughter for solid options.
We’ve been waxing lyrical about tapestry coats as a key piece for autumn, but what about the tapestry cardigan? This blue jacquard knit, by perennial Parisian brand BA&SH, is at its best when teamed with khaki trousers.
