The layers of earth-coloured foliage found in nature set the precedent for autumn dressing. Swaddled in animal prints, knitwear, velvet, tweed and wool in melancholic colours, you’ll blend in seamlessly with the change in weather. These are the key textures this fall season; it’s chunky yet decadent, with a little sparkle.
