Every year, autumn’s arrival signals a switch in the way we style both our wardrobes and home. The colours we crave deepen, textures become cosier, and layers provide familiar comfort for both wardrobe and home.
For us, the perennial dilemma is always the same: what pieces are wise investments? Here, our buyers share their wisdom (and top picks) for the season ahead.
