Autumn Style Tips: Colour, Layers & Accessories to Feel Your Best
Autumn in the Blue Mountains is pure magic—crisp air, golden leaves, and the perfect excuse to play with layers and colour. As the temperatures dip, it’s time to get creative with your wardrobe. Here’s how to embrace autumn style while keeping sustainability and budget in mind.
1. Light Layers for Maximum Versatility
The best way to navigate fluctuating temperatures? Layers! Start with breathable fabrics like cotton or linen, add a cosy knit, and finish with a stylish jacket. Look for quality second-hand coats from brands like Dangerfield, Princess Highway, Oxford, and Country Road—great finds at great prices.
2. Play with Colour & Patterns
Earthy tones are autumn classics, but don’t feel locked into them. Jewel tones, soft pastels, or a pop of bright colour can lift your mood and make your outfit stand out. Pattern mixing—think checks, florals, or stripes—adds a playful touch to your wardrobe.
3. Accessories: The Easy Upgrade
Scarves, hats, and statement jewellery instantly refresh an outfit. A bold scarf can add warmth and personality, while a vintage belt or funky earrings make a simple outfit feel curated and stylish.
4. Shop Smarter & Sustainably
Making the most of what you already own is the ultimate sustainable choice. Before buying new, dig into your wardrobe and experiment with mix-and-match outfits. A simple alteration—shortening sleeves, adjusting a hem—can revive forgotten favourites. If something doesn’t work anymore, consider swapping, reselling, or donating.
5. Budget-Friendly Finds
Style doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Second-hand shopping is the perfect way to score quality pieces for less. Keep an eye out for timeless staples like trench coats, wool jumpers, and denim jackets that will last for seasons to come.
Embrace the season with confidence, creativity, and a little sustainable thinking. After all, great style doesn’t have to cost the earth!
