“I absolutely love mixing smart and casual outerwear,” reveals Celine. Incorporating sportswear into your autumn repertoire brings a contemporary edge to classic layering. Picture a sleek, tailored blazer paired with slouchy joggers or an oversized hoodie nestled snuggly beneath a structured coat. This unexpected combination creates a dynamic, effortless look that's spot-on for this season.

Well-versed in Europe's unpredictable climate, where you can “experience four seasons in a single day,” Celine recommends a versatile approach to autumn dressing. “There’s no need for separate winter and summer wear; light layers can easily transition into colder months,” she advises. Keep lightweight pieces in rotation by layering with turtlenecks or chunky knits. Breezy blouses can also be worn under knitted cardigans or sleeveless dresses, offering endless styling possibilities.

When refining your autumn/winter wardrobe, dare to venture beyond dark, heavy hues. “Autumn’s palette is pretty predictable,” notes Celine, “with its beiges, browns and warm tones – they never go out of style.” However, don’t underestimate the power of lighter shades. “Whites and other neutrals bring a refreshing twist,” she adds, offering a new perspective on autumnal dressing.

Layering isn’t just about warmth – it's a playful exploration of textures. Pair silk blouses with wool cardigans, leather jackets with cashmere sweaters and denim with sherpa details. “We crave comfort in fabrics when it's cooler outside,” says Celine, encouraging textured combinations. "Choose chunky knits and heavy coats,” she advises. Infuse your wardrobe with luxurious textures on days when you want to feel cocooned, then pair with silk and satin accents for a refined touch.

“A staple coat is a must for autumn,” asserts Celine. Whether it’s a timeless trench, a snug parka or a classic pea coat, outerwear serves as the pièce de résistance that completes your layered look. "We all have those moments when we realise it's time for a new one," Celine muses. This season, lightweight quilted jackets are trending. Opt for a complementary, seasonal colour or embrace tonal dressing for seamless integration into your wardrobe as a standalone piece or layer.

For those well-versed in western-inspired fashion, Celine share her tips for autumn layering. “I'm really into double denim,” she reveals. Imagine a denim jacket under an overcoat for depth, paired with ‘a nice square-toed heeled boot’ for a subtle nod to the trend. Alternatively, embrace fringing, leather or plaid for a daring statement, but remember to strike a balance with your existing wardrobe staples,” she advises.

Scarves, hats and gloves offer the perfect canvas to let your personality shine," says Celine, encouraging a bold approach to autumn accessories. Rich hues like deep burgundy and olive green complement the season’s palette, while bold patterns make a statement. Celine’s top pick for autumn? The oversized scarf, keeping you cosy while adding panache. Whether wrapped snug around the neck or elegantly over the shoulders, this versatile accessory exudes both warmth and flair. "I even have a little blanket that I use as a scarf," Celine shares.
