September has arrived. While some of us are mourning the loss of the summer, many are celebrating the shopping opportunities that the new season brings!
Autumn winter 2017 calls for a wardrobe refresh, but what new season essentials should we invest in? Here, we provide an overview of the key pieces that will see you through the cold snap, whatever the weather throws at you!
Umbrella
We all know how unpredictable the British weather can be, so don’t leave home without an umbrella. It’s always worth spending a little more on an umbrella you can depend on — you don’t want to be caught out mid-downpour with a broken umbrella.
Our golf umbrellas are ideal when the wind is against you too. Our Cyclone umbrella, for example, has been wind tunnel tested to 78mph. For the fashion forward, our new collection includes all of the latest trends, from dark florals to rich checks. Who said an umbrella can’t be a fashion accessory?
Scarf
During autumn, temperatures remain quite mild, so you don’t want to be reaching for your thick woolly scarf just yet. Instead, choose a lightweight check scarf in an autumnal shade — think red, navy and green. Perfect for men and women, you can wear the scarf loosely around your neck with an open coat or jacket for effortless early season style.
Coat
For men and women, there’s only one coat that will help them transition from summer to autumn: the classic trench coat. They’re thin enough to keep you cool in milder weather but still offer enough protection from those pesky showers.
The trench coat is super versatile; perfect when worn over your suit or smart dress for work or with a relaxed check shirt and jeans for those off-duty days.
When winter finally arrives, it’s time to swap the trench coat for a super-cosy down jacket. These padded jackets are well-insulated, providing exceptional warmth in even the coldest conditions.
Knitwear
We ditched it in the summer, but knitwear comes back with a vengeance in autumn winter. Choose finer knits for early autumn, before digging out those chunky winter cable-knits in time for the colder weather.
Don’t shy away from patterns, especially near to Christmas time. Fair Isle jumpers are cute and cosy, helping you to get into the festive spirit.
