As another season is drawing to a close, it's time to start thinking about fashion pieces that will allow you to seamlessly transition from Summer to Autumn — and now's the perfect time to do a little bit of shopping. This month, our editors are all about pretty midi dresses that they'll be wearing with their trusty leather jackets, sparkling accessories that will totally transform their outfits, gorgeous jumpers that'll keep them warm, and stylish coats that deserve a place in every woman's wardrobe. Read on to get a look at all the pieces that we'll be buying in September.
"A well-edited wardrobe will never be complete without a classic bag, and the Saint Laurent Catherine Leather Shoulder Bag (£1,380) is as chic as they come." — Morgane Le Caer, assistant editor
"These dresses are stalking me — or rather, I'm stalking them — on social media. Either way, Ghost have a delicious selection of affordable dresses right now, and this Nia Floral Jenna Dress (£120) is top of my shopping list (the same as many influencers, I imagine)." — Lucy Kenny, assistant editor, Social + Trending
"Why do I want a t-shirt saying "cry-baby" on it? I don't know, but I do — and this Forever 21 Tee (£15) is going straight into my basket." — Tori Crowther, assistant editor
"This Somerset by Alice Temperley Leopard-Print Shirt (£79), skinny jeans, ankle boots, and a blazer . . . that's my work wardrobe sorted until October!" — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor
"I'm not generally one for statement jewellery, but these Zara Rectangle Earrings (£16) are so incredibly gorgeous that they're going straight into my cart." — MLC
"Boux Avenue have finally launched activewear, and, of course, it's so pretty. I no longer want to do yoga unless it's in this Marble Crop Top (£20). Sadly, the sizes are only 8 to 16, so let's hope the brand decides to expand its range soon." — TC
"New season, new boots, right? And why go basic when the Ganni Meg Ankle Boots (£430) exist in this universe? Equal parts of fashionable and fun." — LK
"September is prime blazer time, and I'll be extending Summer for as long as I possibly can by choosing one in a cheerful colour, like this ASOS Pink Tailored High Break Blazer (£52)." — GC
"Every year I tell myself that my wardrobe is lacking a camel coat. Finding the perfect one has been quite the journey, but the Mango Straight Pocketed Coat (£80) is exactly what I had been looking for with its big pockets and its chic simplicity." — MLC
"I've always been a sucker for rose gold, dainty jewellery. The Missoma Rose Gold Pave Huggie Pair (£70) are perfectly on-trend and absolutely gorgeous. What else could I ask for?" — TC
"*Autumn trend klaxon!* Corduroy is going to be everywhere, and I'm stocking up preseason with these H&M Wide Corduroy Trousers (£30)." — LK
"I love a cool detail that'll get people talking, and the coloured panels on this dress fit the bill perfectly. This Warehouse Two-Tone Dress (£65) is going straight in my Fashion Week wardrobe!" — GC
"Sweater weather is my all-time favourite, and I can't wait to wear this gorgeous and unique & Other Stories Wool Blend Floral Rope Jumper (£79) with jeans and black ankle boots." — MLC
"My 5-year-old self wouldn't forgive me if I didn't get these Hello Kitty Converses (£55), so you can guarantee they're in my basket." — TC
"Ambush are the coolest jewellery brand around right now — just ask Victoria Beckham. This Ambush Gold Metallic Pill Charm Single Earring (£255) is my entry point of choice." — LK
"We need to do everything we can to save the bees, so I fully support making them a fashion trend. These Pull-Through Earrings by Hurleyburley (£24) are a chic and affordable way to start!" — GC
"Every year, I love to invest in a couple of cashmere pieces, and this Cashmere Short Robe by The White Company (£229) is going to have to be mine." — MLC
"This year I have discovered a newfound love for midi dresses, and I immediately fell for the gorgeous rust colour of this Topshop Spot Print Shirt Dress (£49). I can already see myself wearing it with a leather jacket and ankle boots, and I can't wait to add it to my wardrobe." — MLC
"I've never been the 'classic white shirt' girl, but I feel like I've reached the point of my life where this becomes a wardrobe staple. And this Mango Essential Cotton-Blend Shirt (£26) is the shirt I need." — LK
"The window for wearing backless shoes is getting narrower now, so I'm planning to take full advantage before the black tights come back out. These classic M&S Leather Cross-Strap Mule Shoes (£50) are perfect for dressing up jeans." — GC
