There so many fab fashion trends at the moment, it’s hard to know what you really need to update your closet this Autumn/Winter 2022.
I’ve recently found — and my bank account is thanking me — that when it comes to fashion, it’s all about quality over quantity. Though affordable, impulse purchases are undoubtedly super fun and give you a thrill in the moment, your wardrobe will be way better balanced with an injection of an array of quality staples.
So, whether you’re buying a staple dress, a colourful puffer jacket, some warm activewear or a new pair of boots, make it count by purchasing with consideration of both your wardrobe and the environment.
With temperatures around the country dropping, it’s time to start building up that Autumn/Winter wardrobe. We’ve pulled together some of our must-have staple pieces for the upcoming seasons from some great Australian and international brands.
Statement Dress
The Olive Dress ($450) from Marle is the perfect base piece for a chic versatile outfit during Autumn and Winter. It’s simple and classic, with a cut-out detail that sets it apart from other basics, and is easily able to be dressed up or down. It’s also the perfect piece to accessorise and layer, whether it be with a long trench or wool coat, or some chunky golden jewellery —this silk, cotton and cashmere dress is the definition of a staple piece.

Calf Boots
Calf boots are a must for Autumn/Winter of 2022; they’ll be the perfect shoe to wear with just about any outfit. The Lucille ($389.95) calf boots from Tony Bianco are made from real leather, making them durable, and have a thick heel which make them good for strutting around in. They’ve also got a croc texture and print on them, which is set to be very trendy this season.
Baggy Jeans
Black jeans never go out of style. In Autumn/Winter of 2022, it’s all about the loose leg — even a little baggy — retro jean, like these ’90s 501 Jeans ($159.95) from Levi’s. Pair them with a heeled boot or a platform and a cute cropped jacket, and you’ve nailed effortless style.
Relaxed Blazer
A relaxed blazer is an absolute must-have this Autumn/Winter. 2022 fashion is all about relaxed and effortless style, rather than structured and form-fitting. This Relaxed Blazer by Danielle Bernstein ($199.95) is a total vibe, and could be paired with a dress, jeans, pants, or even a long skirt. This particular blazer has matching pants — the High Rise Cinched Waist Pleated Pant (189.95) — which could give a casual power suit vibe.
Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots are back in, baby! They look great with jeans, dresses, skirts and even shorts — adding badass energy to any outfit. Jeffrey Campbell makes the best statement cowboy boots, like these Dagget Boot ($381.46) that undoubtedly add a pop of colour and grunge to your look. They have heaps of other cowboy boot styles, ranging from black knee length, to calf length with butterflies… all of which you can find here.
