The Coat

Coat With Detachable Fur Collar, £399.99 | Mango

Fur trims are set to be everywhere this season and this Mango coat proves you don't need a luxury budget to nail the look. The detachable fur collar adds instant polish.

Available at MANGO.COM


The Blazer

Linen-Blend Collarless Blazer, £159 | ARKET

ARKET’s take on the collarless blazer proves tailoring doesn't need a lapel to look sharp – the dark green linen-blend feels directional without trying too hard.

Available at ARKET.COM

The Skirt

Midi Leather Effect Skirt, £29.99 | ZARA

The 90s are still a big reference for the style set and this faux leather skirt from Zara is the perfect way to tap into the era. The rich, deep brown hue and buttery finish give it a luxe edge.

Available at ZARA.COM

The Balloon Trousers

Pleat-Detail Balloon Trousers, £19.99 | H&M

H&M offers up an elevated take on the classic balloon trouser – the soft khaki hue and subtle front pleats give them a distinctly expensive edge.

Available at HM.COM


The Coat

Tailored Wool-Blend Double-Breasted Coat, £269 | COS

A sharp cut and a floor-skimming length give this COS coat serious presence – the kind of quality you don't expect to find on the high street. If there's one piece worth investing in this season, it's this.

Available at COS.COM


The Bag

Napped-Finish Leather Shoulder Bag, £139.99 | H&M Studio

This has all the understated luxury of The Row, minus the price tag – clean lines, a practical shape, and just enough texture to keep it interesting.

Available at HM.COM


The Loafers

Leather Loafers, £95 | ARRANGE

These ARRANGE loafers look far more expensive than they are thanks to their glossy leather and squared-off toe. Wear them with tailored trousers or straight-leg jeans.

Available at ASOS.COM

The Jacket

Funnel-Collar Leather Jacket, £379.99 | H&M

Funnel necks are still having a moment and this leather jacket  – with its cinched waist and structured silhouette – feels anything but budget. 

Available at HM.COM

The Jumper

Brushed Wool Jumper With Scarf, £129.99 | H&M

The brushed texture and built-in scarf detail give this jumper an elevated look without any of the effort – proof that H&M continues to nail the high-street-meets-luxury formula.

Available at HM.COM


The Top

Scarf Shirt, £39.99 | ZARA

A statement top is the finishing touch every wardrobe needs and this tie-neck number from Zara ticks every box – relaxed enough for denim, sharp enough for tailoring.

Available at ZARA.COM


The Trench

Lior Coat, £325 | Sézane

Talk about a statement-making trench – the Sézane Lior nails classic proportions with just the right amount of directional detail. It's the kind of coat that elevates absolutely anything you put underneath it.

Available at SEZANE.COM


The Heels

Leather Effect Wedge Mules, £35.99 | Stradivarius

The sculptural wedge heel and pointed toe give these mules real architectural interest, especially in this crisp white colourway – a detail you'd normally only find on a much pricier shoe.

Available at STRADIVARIUS.COM

The Blouse

Wool Blend Draped Scarf Neck Blouse, £90 | Autograph

Wool gives this M&S blouse real weight, while the draped, scarf-neck detail adds an elevated twist. Wear it with tailored trousers for a polished look or jeans for something more relaxed.

Available at MARKS&SPENCER.COM

The Belted Jacket

Belted Jacket, £59.99 | Zara

Zara's belted jacket comes in the perfect autumnal shade of red – the high neck and cinched waist create real shape, while the matching belt adds a polished, expensive-looking finish.

Available at ZARA.COM


The Sunglasses

Oversized Curved Sunglasses, £42 | & Other Stories

The oversized, curved silhouette here is all over the runways right now, and this & Other Stories pair makes it easy to get the look for a fraction of the cost.

Available at STORIES.COM

The Knit

Stuffed Scoop Neck Trim Jumper, £32 | ASOS DESIGN

The neckline is what sets this jumper apart – the exaggerated scoop is cool and feminine, while the soft, warm beige is seriously wearable.

Available at ASOS.COM

The Shirt

Tailored Pima Cotton Shirt, £65 | COS

COS has nailed this season's blue trend with a crisp, tailored button-down that looks like it belongs on a designer runway. The clean silhouette will work just as well with jeans as it does with tailoring.
