monochrome mod? Digesting the trends as they storm down the catwalks at various fashion weeks and attempting to construct a new season look for yourself can be overwhelming, so here are the five key investment pieces for your

autumnal wardrobe

.

 1. The Day-to-Night Skirt

Invest in a wardrobe essential with the

Marie Tulip Skirt

from Marc Jacob's diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs. Crafted from a supple, soft silk and featuring a beautiful tulip print, this figure-flattering skirt is the perfect solution to all day-to-night outfit dilemmas. Pair this skirt with thick tights and a cosy jumper for a laid-back luxe daytime style, and instantly update it with a silk shirt and heels to head out for dinner and cocktails.

2. The Autumn Boots

Every girl knows how hard the perfect winter boot is to find, so look no further than iconic international brand Timberland for your autumn needs.
