With a grey jumper

A cashmere grey jumper is a wardrobe staple. Don’t be afraid to invest in this item. We found this amazing one at Ganni (don’t forget to check out their other items). Pair it with skinny jeans, ankle boots and sunglasses and it’s the perfect transitional fall look.

With Flared Jeans

Flared jeans are making a comeback this season.  They are really flattering and make your legs look longer. Wear them with high heels and a chic button down blouse for that Parisian vibe.
