Temperatures are already dropping; as evening falls, the fresh air reminds me that autumn has arrived. This is the time of year that makes me want to buy new clothes the most. I crave autumn and winter attire more than summer ones—what about you? But it’s better to hold back because #BuyLess and #BuyBetter are not only the mantra of sustainability but also embody the virtue of moderation. With moderation in mind, I found six pieces at Mango that will unlock your autumn wardrobe.

Vintage Style Cardigan
For two seasons now, designers like Miu Miu and Tory Burch have been bringing back the art of layering. A cardigan is a must-have in your autumn wardrobe, allowing you to experiment with shirts, T-shirts, and skirts you already own. The idea is to create a vintage look with a touch of modernity.
Flared Jeans
Flared jeans paired with boots are already a must-have this season, from the runway to street style. Seen on the catwalks of Chloé and Schiaparelli, among others, this ’70s look is complete with pointed-toe boots, cowboy boots, or pumps. Remember that flared jeans suit any body type and are especially flattering for petites.
Pointed Boots
It’s time to add a pair of pointed boots to your collection. Black and brown are classic colours that will last in your wardrobe for many seasons. But if you’re looking for a glamorous, fashion-forward moment, consider an animal-print boot like this snake-print pair from Mango.
Short-Sleeved Knitted Tops
This knitted top is intended to be worn without a shirt underneath, featuring sleeves that extend slightly over the shoulder. This fresh twist will make all the difference in your autumn wardrobe. Pair this short-sleeved top with a midi skirt and boots or with tailored trousers.
Evase Skirt
An Evase skirt is the new silhouette you need to add to your autumn wardrobe. This denim skirt from Mango is feminine and pairs perfectly with a cardigan and a leather jacket. Pair your Evase skirt with the snake boots, or opt for ballet flats or mid-height heels.
Leather Jacket
Nothing is more transitional than a leather jacket. This season, leather takes centre stage in creating the on-trend Western look. Alternatively, blazers or box-cut jackets offer a rock ‘n’ roll chic vibe. Both styles combine with the A-line skirt and flare jeans, forming a cohesive autumn wardrobe. We’ve chosen this camel-coloured suede jacket adorned with studs from Mango.
Look at your autumn wardrobe as an art curator would in a gallery. Choose pieces that complement what you already have and wear most often. Take your time and don’t get carried away by trends; choose what suits you and matches your lifestyle. A style begins to form when you understand and embrace the type of clothing that makes you comfortable. It’s not the quantity but the versatility of a wardrobe that counts.
