Ask many a fashion fan and you’ll find that autumn is their favourite season simply because of the clothes. Jackets and jumpers come into full force, chunky knits can be layered over dresses and the shoe rotation suddenly includes chic boots for all occasions. Yet it often takes only one piece to turn a regular outfit into a trend-led one.

Looking towards the catwalk, leather bombers are proving hugely popular – barrel leg jeans are on the rise again for autumn and sage green is the shade that’s slowly rising up the ranks, thanks to Jil Sander, Loewe and Coperni. Plus, kitten heels are the height to know right now and it’s still all about denim in each and every iteration.

But before you start thinking that these five finds may cost you a small fortune, you may be surprised to learn that none of the pieces I’ve shopped on the high street cost over £40. Think chic kitten-heels, knee-high boots, a satin sage green midi dress and a belted denim jacket that are all sure to work every time.

Don’t believe me? Just keep scrolling to see my five favourite finds in action.
