7 items to build the perfect autumn wardrobe
Allow Ted Baker to refresh your wardrobe in seven simple steps
Sometimes, all it takes to refresh your entire wardrobe is a garment here or an accessory there, deployed with style and consideration to breathe new life into existing outfits. Thankfully, bastions of British style Ted Baker are on hand to offer you a collection of such clothes. And, with their Autumn Shopping Event giving you 20% off the new collection until this weekend, you’ll find everything from wool coats and dazzling dresses to cosy knitwear and stylish separates.
So, for men after tailoring in both classic and contemporary styles, there’s nothing better – and here are our picks of the autumn wear that’ll brighten up these darker days.
The office can seem drab at this time of year, so heighten up your suiting with a patterned shirt. It’s not outlandish, not too much of a statement, but just subtly different to allow your personality to shine through. A block colour suit and tie alongside will give you an edge – without screaming try-hard.
If you really want to bring some colour to these drab seasons coming up, go for a big bold suit. A check is one of the most popular patterns in suiting for 2017, and these reserved colours – of burgundy and navy – are the ideal hues with which to add interest without, like the shirt, going over the top.
It’s the season of flash showers and wet leaves – so make sure you dress your feet suitably. Ted Baker’s brogued boots are a clever hybrid for your footwear collection which, with their wingtip design and burnished leather finish, are work-appropriate whilst strong and reliable.
Your accessories this autumn will be just as important as your clothes. So, when you trundle into your office off the autumn street, ensure that you’re looking sharp across every facet of your outfit. The Spies satchel is perfect for this, and comes in colours from the poppy light blue to this more conservative chocolate.
Tis the season to be jumpered – the time when warm, cosy knits are acceptable everywhere from the ski slopes to the office. This season, however, eschew block colours or statement cable for a simple crew neck jumper with an alternative texture. This twist on the classic knit, the Coftini, is just the ticket.
Everyone needs a navy peacoat. One of the warmest, most versatile coats you can buy, the double-breasted, inoffensively-coloured peacoat is the perfect garment to hang by the door – as it’ll go with whatever you’ve thrown on when you need to dash out. A cold weather staple.
They’re autumnally-coloured and perfect to crunch through the golden leaves in – but still much-maligned in some circles of society. But ignore any detractors of these burgundy, crimson or scarlet trousers and jump into the red with gusto and zeal. Ted Baker’s Clascor chinos are the perfect entry level chino – before you go full corduroy.
