THREE LOOKS TO TURN HEADS THIS AUTUMN
Who's ready to make a fashion statement this autumn? Our first outfit highlights a remarkably stylish and sublime, ‘soft-lime' jumper from M&S. You might be surprised by how versatile this attention-grabbing colour can be. Let's explore how two distinct silk accessories can completely transform the look.
STYLE 1
VIBRANT STATEMENTS IN SILK & DENIM
First up is our Morris Pimpernel scarf, featuring a design by William Morris. William Morris, a renowned 19th-century designer and artist, was the founding figure of the British Arts & Crafts Movement. He is most famous for his designs in furnishing fabrics and wallpapers and we have many of his designs in our collection. You can shop all Morris here.
The second scarf in the spotlight is the Klimt Waterserpent silk habotai. The luminescent quality of habotai silk complements the gold, orange, and purple flowers and intricate details from Gustav Klimt's 1907 painting, "Wasserschlangen II" (translated in English as "The Water Serpents").
Now, the question arises: which one do you prefer? Both scarves are paired with a trendy dark denim jean skirt, featuring cargo pockets, also from M&S, and some last-season boots from Clarks. Either pairing is sure to make a statement this autumn.

BROWN IS BACK
After a decade dominated by the cool neutrality of grey, warm tones of beige and brown are making a triumphant comeback. Say goodbye to grey, and welcome the resurgence of brown in fashion. In this look, we've paired an exquisite patterned silk scarf with a luxuriously silky brown blouse, from M&S (although it's worth noting that almost all sizes of this brown satin shirt are sold out!).
These pieces effortlessly complement another dark denim essential, this time in the form of jeans, complete with those chic cargo pockets featured in the previous look – all courtesy of M&S.
Now, let's dive into the details of this stunning silk scarf. It's a medium-sized habotai silk scarf called Van Kessel Forget Me Nots adorned with elements inspired by a classic still life study of flowers, leaves, and insects set against a creamy backdrop.
This design pays homage to the artist Jan Van Kessel, known for his masterful still life compositions. What makes this scarf so lovely is its intricate craftsmanship and the way the blue hand-rolled edge harmonises seamlessly with denim.

TIMELESS TWEED WITH A FLORAL FLOURISH
Prepare to fall in love with this exquisite tweed jacket, another gem from M&S. In this outfit, we've paired it with a timeless white blouse – a classic choice that never goes out of style. Completing the ensemble are sleek black skinny jeans because, let's be honest, are we really ready to bid farewell to skinny jeans entirely?
The look is rounded out with these simple black boots, but the icing on the cake here is the addition of a magnificent large silk habotai scarf known as the Redouté Peony.
To appreciate the significance of this pattern, let's delve into its background. Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759-1840), a Belgian painter and botanist, left an indelible mark with his classical watercolour studies of roses, lilies, and, in this instance, peonies.
This ivory and red floral habotai silk scarf draws inspiration from one of his still life works titled "Strauss of Red, Purple, and White Peonies." It's a masterpiece of botanical elegance and artistry, adding a touch of botanical charm never hurts.

BONUS IDEA!
Worth a mention is the recently spotted scarf in belt-loop trick. What do you think? Would you give it a go?
This silk is called Kilburn Buds. William Kilburn (1745-1818) was an illustrator, designer and printer, mainly of flora and fauna. This medium sized silk habotai scarf features just such a design of various flowering plants.
You can change up any outfit with silk, bringing endless combinations to a capsule wardrobe, especially if you also switch up where you wear your silk!
