Daylight savings is official over and autumn’s cool change is here. Despite it happening every year, this change in weather still takes us by surprise and our morning routines are thrown into a shambles over what to wear. This change of season often sparks a fashion overhaul too! From finding what your lacking to editing out those pieces your no longer wear or upgrading worn out essentials like jeans, t-shirts and sweaters.
Rather than a quick fix that’s lacking in quality and longevity, consider these Australian brands and stores that are doing great things without the hefty price tag. Whether its an investment piece like knitwear, coats and boots or a trending accessory, it’s worth browsing your local stores first to find what that perfect piece!
Take Jag for example who not only are creating the perfect capsule wardrobe pieces but are also offering exclusive collaborations with Australian artists and personalities for that exclusive feel. Or try the viral sets coming out of Best & Less, and trending jeans at Big W that will cost you less than a $50 note.
Shop our top 7 autumn style picks below:
01
Best & Less Women’s Knit Side Stripe Pant
$30 , Best & Less
Best & Less Women’s Side Stripe Knitted hoodie
$35 , Best & Less
There is no denying Best & Less have had a refresh especially in the womenswear department. Their fashion pieces tick the trending and affordable box, often inspired by expensive designer brands like their knitted pant and matching sweater at a combined cost of $65- what a steal!
02
Billini Noemi boot
$149 , Billini
It’s boot season which usually means parting ways with some cash as longer style boots can get expensive. Thankfully, not with Billini’s latest Reverie collection which includes some of the most sought-after styles in rich autumn tones and textures without the luxe price. Take the trending riding boot for example- Billini’s Noemi style is just perfect! They also offer a large percentage of their boots in a wide calf fit!
03
The 1964 Denim Company Women’s Front Pocket Jean
$30 , Big W
No need to hit the high street, just head to your local Big W for some fashionable fits! Their latest autumn collection is already selling fast with everything from trending leopard print sneakers to barrel leg jeans and covetable accessories. Big W also make the extra effort with inclusive sizes, styles and quality so they’re last more than one season!
04
Jag Celina Asymmetrical Cardigan
$90 , Jag
Travel motifs, geo florals and fruity shapes are key players for Jag’s summer collections but for the cooler months the brand is putting denim at the forefront with complimentary basics that are perfect for building a winter capsule wardrobe. We love the Celina Asymmetrical Cardigan worn buttoned up as a long sleeve top with jeans and a coat.
05
Review Giverny Denim Skirt
$139.95 , Review
When we think of the iconic, Australian brand Review we may think of the colours red and pink, baby doll dresses, lace, and a vintage 1950s-inspired look. However, this season the brand has expanded their offering to include new denim styles, basic knitwear and outerwear as part of the new direction to round out their collections and cater them to any woman, at any life stage!
06
Lily Loves Longline Check Coat
$90 , Target
If you aren’t already on the Target bandwagon, then jump on! Their fashion pieces and homewares collections are top notch with some customers recently revealing they’ll choose Target over Kmart any day! The Lily Loves and Preview ranges rival designer name brands with their variety, size range and quality. We predict this checked coat will fly off the shelves for it’s nod to similar sold-out styles at Zara, Asos and more expensive labels.
07
Betts Fable Suede Leather Tote Bag
$159 , Betts
Betts has been a mainstay in our local shopping centres for a long time and just like a few of our aussie favourites, are having a refresh. The latest Betts collection of footwear will tick that trending and quality box instantly. However their handbags is what caught our attention this week, especially this 100% leather suede tote that cost less than $200- steal!
