AUTUMN STYLE EDIT: FOR HER

AUTUMN LAYERS WITH SILK

As the UK transitions into crisp autumn days, it's the perfect time to update your wardrobe with versatile, cosy pieces. In this blog, we’ve curated multiple gorgeous autumn looks with some key pieces from New Look, all paired with luxurious silk accessories to keep you both stylish and warm. With earthy tones, rich textures, and intricate art-inspired scarves and accessories these pieces blend effortlessly to make an easy and modular autumn capsule wardrobe. Whether you’re out for a walk in the countryside, headed to an event, or simply enjoying the season's atmosphere, these looks will inspire you to embrace the beauty of autumn. Be sure to check for forgotten pieces you may have in your closet already too.

LOOK 1: AUTUMN ARTISTRY

For an effortlessly chic autumn outfit, we’ve paired a black loose-fitting knit jumper with rust-coloured wide-leg trousers and cute black boots.

This look is comfortable and cosy for cooler days. To make it stand out, we've added the Roman Mosaic Chiffon Scarf, a rich brown and grey silk scarf featuring scroll and plait patterns from ancient Roman mosaics. Fun fact: Ancient Roman mosaics, often used to decorate public and private spaces, were not just art; they were symbols of status and craftsmanship, found in the most luxurious villas and public baths.

For a brighter, more modern option, try the Kandinsky Weiches Hart Chiffon Scarf, a bold, abstract design inspired by Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky believed art should evoke emotion, and his vibrant use of colour was influenced by his love of music, often describing his paintings as "visual symphonies."

Complete the look with our Mughal Elephant Pendant, a silver-plated necklace featuring a detailed Mughal elephant design (also available as a bangle). Like all the pieces shown in this blog, it is endlessly versatile for any occasion, and will pair well with all the outfits shown here!

LOOK 2: AUTUMNAL ELEGANCE

This plum-coloured dress paired with a khaki coat and black boots offers a perfect autumn outfit for day or night, but it’s the addition of a gorgeous silk scarf that really pulls it together!

The first option, Klee Bauhaus Castle & Sun, is a vibrant silk habotai scarf based on Paul Klee’s 1928 abstract cityscape, Castle and Sun. Klee’s work was heavily influenced by the Bauhaus movement, a revolutionary approach to art and design in the early 20th century, blending craft and fine art.

For a more subdued option, the Feathers Silk Habotai Scarf features colourful feathers on an ivory background. Did you know? Birds’ vibrant plumage not only plays a key role in attracting mates but also in blending into their environment for protection.

The intricate design of this scarf celebrates the natural beauty and cleverness of feathers, adding both subtle colour and pattern to your autumn basics.

For an extra accessory, we’ve included the Sleeping Princess Pendant by Mary Macdonald, a nod to the Art Nouveau movement. 

Though no longer available on our site, this piece captures the flowing, natural forms that define the work of her and her husband, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

If you love it, send us an email at bespoke@foxandchave.com and we can have it made for you, as a pendant or bangle. 

LOOK 3: KNIT PERFECTION

Knits are an autumn staple, and this taupe matching knit shirt and mini skirt set from New Look is a perfect example of cosy meets chic.

The first scarf pairing is the Munch The Scream Chiffon Scarf, featuring Edvard Munch’s iconic painting, The Scream. This artwork, one of the most recognised in the world, reflects Munch’s anxiety and fear of mental health. It brings emotions that make the bold colours and expressive lines of the scarf a perfect fit for an autumn wardrobe, especially around Halloween!

For a more classic option, we recommend the Vergine delle Rocce silk square, which draws on Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting The Virgin of the Rocks, currently housed in the National Gallery. The soft brown, bronze, and cream tones echo the colours of autumn.

Royalties from the sale of this scarf are in support of The National Gallery.

Autumn is a season to embrace warmth, layers, and earthy tones. These curated looks highlight the versatility of our silk accessories, each inspired by history and art – perfect for autumnal dressing. Whether you’re layering up for a chilly morning or adding elegance to an evening out, our scarves, necklaces, and pendants offer endless styling possibilities.
