Autumn Wardrobe Déjà Vu

Last year’s favourites I’d happily wear again.

If I could only choose one season and one outfit, it would be a trench coat, tailored trousers, a blouse, a blazer, and boots. Autumn forever. Trench coats and blazers always.

Life got a little in the way, so I’ve been slower on here. The move is still ongoing - things to fix, repairs, figuring out how to share the apartment without oversharing. I’m very private, but I’ll do my best to share more, especially since you all loved that rug I’ve mentioned more than once. Curtains are on the list, along with a few vintage dressers and shelves. The apartment is small, definitely smaller than my last one, but the kitchen is bright and open, the windows huge, and the sunlight pours in. We look out onto Victorian buildings and gardens - it feels like a proper neighborhood this time.

Everything seems to happen at once lately: friends visited, family, the move, projects, and I finally got to watch my first Ironman in Switzerland, which was magical. Hard to keep up with Substack, but I’m promising myself autumn will be better. The next months already look exciting and it’s my birthday next week!!

Honestly, I don’t have any chic summer outfits left. Summer is for hot people; autumn is for stylish ones. But enough talk, let’s get into the outfits I wore last season. I can’t wait to wear them all again.

This autumn I’ll mostly be living in this kind of look: the Nobilis boots I’ve shown before (and will wear again, of course - besides Chanel flats, boots are my favourite shoes). The Row zip boots have been with me for years. Add a really good pair of black trousers, a grey knit, and a velvet jacket, and I’m set

A loafer is a must

This Tove look keeps waking me up at night. Such a good alternative is this one, and the flats, Tove again, similar ones here or here. The Sophie Buhai cuff is still one of my favourite purchases. So unique

These looks are actually a couple of years old, but worth including. They’re the core pieces in my wardrobe - the things I reach for when I don’t know what to wear

1. Cream scarf jacket, Bottega pouch, black trousers, riding boots

2. Toteme trench, The Row shirt, Park bag, Alaïa flats

3. Cashmere top, belt, trousers

4. Small Toteme scarf, knit, linen skirt, Cartier Tank watch

5. Trench coat, Khaite bag

Last September in Ischia, wearing Posse top and trousers with The Row Fairy slippers and a black shell necklace

The suede jacket that keeps on giving year after year. This one is nice, or this one. Worn with Aflalo denim and brown boots, Chanel bag, Dorsey ring

Another great suede jacket, a white tee, Sara Cristina trousers with the little shell detail, and The Row boots

This trench coat (or this one) is super chic

This suede shopper is heaven (or this one)

As you can tell, I’m obsessed with trench coats, vintage bags, great black trousers, and gold Chanel shoes. (Post about Chanel shoes coming soon.)

What about this trench?

A full Saint Laurent moment: jacket, blazer, scarf, The Row flats, and Manà x Me shell

Wore this at the start of the year, but it’s begging for a second round. Perfect for autumn

That’s all for now. Next up: we’re talking Chanel flats.
