By Sara King Moura

Stylists clearly know how to put together an autumn outfit. Prepare for a spending spree as these top tastemakers share their essentials for the coming season

Entering a new season often entails a new set of styling rules fully dependent on the weather. This change allows us to explore collections and pull pieces to form the foundation of our sartorial identity for the coming months. Although it is an exciting and creative process, it can also be a daunting experience. The many options on the market leads us to a never ending pursuit of the perfect fall-winter wardrobe.

The urge to fling open your wardrobe doors and spot newness is tantalising - it is a feeling that we all crave every time temperatures drop. Because we empathise with the difficulty of navigating a new season, we reached out to the some of the region's best stylists for a lesson on personal shopping.

Hanna MW on the vest :

"This is a piece that transpires a laidback business attitude, making me love the overall look when paired with a very sharp and tailored vest. If you prefer a baggier approach to it, you can also style the vest as a top by pairing it with oversized pants or even jeans. This is my absolute favourite for this season.”

On the fluffy bag:

Furry bags have been speaking to us since the early noughties and the truth is that I’m not mad about this strong resurgence emphasised by Prada and Miu Miu. This is the absolute accessory to match with all our fuzzy outerwear and accessories. They’re cute too, which makes it a double styling treat.”

On the loafer:

“Autumn means loafer season and if there was ever a time where we could find cooler options, that time is surely now. They can either polish or deconstruct the look depending on its style, height, colour and even details. So if you don’t have a pair yet, I urge you to invest because they are a not-so-basic item anymore.”
