I love these autumn months. The colours in the parks and the countryside are on the turn, resulting in swathes of reds and ambers and browns overpowering the faded greens, which is generally my queue to start wearing darker tones to assimilate with the environment. Autumn's also great because as the temperature drops, you can have fun with layering - shirts, knits, big coats, hats, scarves - they all come into play. What's more, the textural diversity on offer is that much greater than what spring and summer collections can ever provide.
