Easy Rider: Indulge in the ultimate road trip wardrobe this autumn

For some much needed escapism Vogue Scandinavia hit the road in our October-November issue. Inspired by iconic female travellers, 'Easy Rider' is a celebration of stylish wanderlust. Drawing on characters like Anne-France Dautheville – a French journalist and writer, noted for being the first woman to motorcycle solo around the world – and stunt performer Vivian Bales –known for several long-distance motorcycle rides and motorcycle stunt riding around the US in the 1920s and 1930s – the styling merges functionality and fashion.

For an elevated take on the shearling jacket pair it with a silk scarf, adding instant polish to tough textures. The bandana was the number one street style trend we spotted at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Whether you prefer it to seamlessly blend with your outfit or rather use it as a focal point of colour or statement piece, you can rarely go wrong with this, not only stylish, but useful accessory.

When it comes to styling your road trip ready look opt for tones of beige, camel and oatmeal. The latter colour is the ultimate hue for autumn/winter. Pair your knitted socks with an easy linen, like this Tory Burch number or go fo the full look in a jumpsuit which blends style and practicality for the ultimate adventure.

An oversized poncho is arguably the perfect layering piece. This Chloé version features a quilted neckline to keep warm when bracing the for the cold winds on the road. Wear over leather trousers or raw denim stuffed into this season's rain boots for a laid back look. The French luxury brand is the first to receive B Corp certification. Again, pair your ensemble with the silk scarf, like this micro-Celine number, for an elevated high-low look.

Italian fashion brand Etro is known for their playful patterns, evident here on an updated version of the sweater vest with a large fold-over collar and fringe framing the arms. If Etro's eye-catching aesthetic is too busy for your taste, investing in a textured sweater makes for a good alternative. Paired with wide suede trousers and gold jewellery, they're the perfect addition to any travel-friendly capsule wardrobe.

The quilted jacket makes for the perfect transitional outerwear, worn on its own or layered over another coat. A waterproof wunderkind, it is a must-have when combatting the erratic elements often encountered on the road. Of course black is a safe and classic choice, but this season we find khaki and brown beckon, the earthy shades prevalent on the catwalks. Whatever your tastes, the addition of a quilted coat to the wardrobe is an investment worth making.
