The words “capsule wardrobe” get thrown around a lot in autumn, as this is when you want your foundations in place for the season ahead, whether that’s a trench coat, a trusty knit or a pair of boots that you’ll wear every day from now until April. Right now, the high street is replenished with wardrobe heroes that are designed to be long-lasting, elegant additions to your daily rotation, and we have combed through all the new-in sections to bring you the best of the best.
An honourable mention goes to the M&S corduroy trousers, which have been the talk of the Vogue shopping desk; the Cos Trullo flap bag, which keeps selling out; and the Uniqlo wool duffle coat, which has already landed in the seasonal sales.
Keep scrolling for the best wardrobe classics to buy on the high street this autumn.
