Autumn has arrived, and with it, the seasonal clothing shift that has always been my favourite. There’s something about the cooler air and the promise of layering that makes fashion feel especially rich this time of year. Now, my wardrobe naturally gravitates towards neutral palettes, but in the colder months, I add the occasional pop of an autumnal hue—think rich browns, olive green and burgundy.

Right now, I’m looking for those key investment pieces to refresh my wardrobe ahead of the new season, and there are few places I trust more than Harvey Nichols. The iconic department store is a haven for classic yet contemporary styles, and it’s my go-to for adding a touch of luxury to my autumn capsule wadrobe.

Harvey Nichols has always held a special place in my heart. I remember as a child accompanying my mother on her seasonal shopping trips to the flagship store, where she would carefully select timeless coats, handbags and boots that she’d treasure and wear year after year. Now an adult, I find myself carrying on this tradition, albeit online. This autumn, I’ve already started bookmarking the new-in pieces that stand out for their blend of style and practicality. These are not impulse buys but thoughtfully chosen additions that will see me stylishly through every occasion the season could throw at me.

So, what’s catching my eye? Well, I’m looking to build the ultimate capsule wardrobe this year, and luckily for me there’s plenty on the Harvey Nichols site that fits the bill. From autumnal footwear such as the Paris Texas knee high boots to elegant bags like The Row’s minimalist leather shoulder tote, my virtual shopping bag is quickly filling up. Scroll on to discover my list of the 6 standout pieces I’m shopping now, and that will hopefully inspire your own forever wardrobe this autumn. Enjoy!
