7. Leather Skirt
Aside from timeless appeal, leather skirts add dimension to an outfit, especially when paired with softer materials like wool or cashmere. Although leather inherently brings a touch of edge, when styled with a silk blouse or a tailored coat it can also convey a sense of sophistication and elegance.

Suede gives off a warm, cosy vibe that aligns well with autumn’s aesthetic. A suede bag in a warm hue not only offers a rich texture but also adds a pop of colour that complements the earthy tones of the season. Burnt orange, soft brown or gentle taupe, all match the leaves beneath your feet.
