5 Elegant Outfits We're Eager to Wear This Fall and Throughout 2027

      After what seemed like an endless heatwave, it may appear odd to even bring up autumn. Yet, anyone in the UK understands how unpredictable the weather can be, and that temperatures can plummet in an instant. With this in mind, I’ve decided that now is a fitting time to start considering the autumn outfits I’ll be sporting into 2027. Unlike the high summer period, which relegated me to the simplest tank tops and linen trousers for comfort, autumn allows for a bit more creativity in my wardrobe, focusing on layering, varying fabrics, and richer colours. With just a quick scroll through Instagram, I’ve managed to hone in on seven outfits that strike a perfect balance between elegance and effortless style.

      As a minimalist, I'm not particularly drawn to micro trends or fads, so the outfits I've compiled below are both timeless and feel fresh for 2026 (and 2027). If you find yourself a bit weary of the warm-weather attire that has dominated recent months, keep reading to discover five straightforward yet chic outfits that I’ll be emulating as soon as the temperatures permit, and continuing into the new year.

      1. Relaxed Shirt + Tailored Trousers + Sandals

      Style Notes: What excites me most about autumn? Stowing away my wrinkled linen trousers to make room for my more refined, tailored versions. Pairing that with a relaxed shirt and sandals until the weather truly cools will create a polished look suitable for both the office and outings with friends. Shop the Look:

      

      - NA-KD: Wide Sleeve Cotton Shirt - I’m really into the wide sleeves.

      - ysl: Oval Buckle Thin Belt - An instant style enhancer.

      - NORMA KAMALI: Pleated Woven Wide-Leg Pants - Just the right volume.

      - A.Emery: Flora Suede Thong Sandals - Don’t pack your sandals away just yet.

      - DeMellier: The Midi Stockholm - Not a necessity, but certainly a desire.

      2. Cropped Trench + Bermuda Shorts + Slingbacks

      Style Notes: There’s no need to rush to store your Bermuda shorts at the onset of fall. This summer staple can look just as stylish when paired with transitional pieces. A cropped trench, chunky socks, and kitten slingback heels can easily transform this warm-weather basic into autumn-appropriate attire. Shop the Look:

      

      - The Frankie Shop: Stan Belted Wool Jacket - Versatile enough for shorts, skirts, and jeans.

      - ZARA: Zw Collection Wool Blend Tailored Bermuda Shorts - A length appropriate for the office.

      - JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN: Ribbed Cashmere-Blend Socks - Perfect for the cooler autumn days.

      - Reformation: Calista Slingback Heel - These will look chic with dark grey socks.

      3. Lightweight Jacket + Midi Skirt + Heels

      Style Notes: I’m determined to make the most of my midi skirts before the colder temperatures set in, and a fitted jacket is the epitome of elegance when paired with them. Not to mention, this sophisticated combination doesn’t require much to achieve a chic look; a classic leather shoulder bag and buckle heels are all you need for a bit of flair. Shop the Look:

      

      - ASOS DESIGN: Tailored Sculpted Cinch Waist Zip Through Jacket - An ASOS bestseller for a good reason.

      - Free People: Fp One Frida Godet Midi Skirt - Available in six other earthy tones.

      - Miu Miu: Brushed Leather Slingbacks With Buckles - These are high on my luxury wishlist.

      - Coach: Chelsea Shoulder Bag 36 - Simple? Yes. But very elegant.

      4. Trench Coat + Jeans + Ballet Flats

      Style Notes: A trench coat is one of the most iconic staples for autumn, and fortunately, it doesn’t take much to make it look stylish. A simple white tee and matching jeans are sufficient, and finishing the outfit with patent ballet flats adds some texture. Shop the Look:

      

      - COS: Funnel-Neck Cotton Trench Coat - I’m loving this sage green shade.

      - Boden: Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt - Perfect for any season.

      - AGOLDE: + Maria Mcmanus Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans - White jeans can transition into autumn too.

      - TOMMY HILFIGER: Patent Leather Padlock Charm Ballerinas - The patent finish offers a unique contrast to smooth leather.

      5. Long Coat + Waistcoat + Mini Skirt

      Style Notes: It may seem early to talk about wool coats, but you’ll appreciate investing in this outerwear style when the temperature drops in the months ahead. Plus, it’s an excellent way to maximize the use of your mini skirts and waistcoats, offering a barrier against the chilly air. Shop the Look:

      

      - Róhe: Double-Faced Wool Long Coat - Róhe has some of the finest coats available.

      - H&M:
