Transitioning to the new season means thinking of all the cold weather outfits you’ll wear. But if you’re still on that summer high and don’t know where to start and are still in the process of building your autumn and winter wardrobe, we’ve put together outfits you can rely on for the next couple of months!
You don’t need to put away all your colourful and lightweight summer and spring clothes. Since the weather in New Zealand can be unpredictable, it’s all about restyling staple pieces in your closet to work for the cooler days.
Adding extra layers, switching bright and bold printed patterns for more earthy tones and accessorising mindfully are the key ways to master your autumn/winter outfits.
Here are the 5 chic yet comfortable outfits that will be your go-to this autumn and winter, whatever the occasion is!
1. Wool Jersey + Pants
Jerseys are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples, especially for the colder months. Wool jerseys, in particular, offer excellent insulation while keeping you stylish and cozy.
For a fresh seasonal twist, try pairing a striped wool jersey with neutral-toned corduroy shorts. Complete the look with classic boots for an effortlessly chic outfit—perfect for both work and casual outings.
2. Shirt + Cardigan + Pants
For an effortless everyday look, you can always rely on your trusted shirt + jeans combo and cardigan for the layering. Whether you’re off to send your kids to school or going to grocery, cardigans and jeans are a perfect combo.
