Fireworks, sparklers and crisp candy apples signal one thing — Bonfire Night, which is fast approaching.

With the crisp autumnal weather, you’ll want to wrap up warm yet still preserve a sophisticated edge. If you’re in need of some outfit inspiration, look no further – we’ve assembled our ultimate guide to dressing for the upcoming Guy Fawkes festivities. From cosy knitted cardigans to statement scarves, you’ll bring the heat this season. 

Besides being versatile and exceptionally chic, a cosy knitted cardigan is a transitional weather staple you can depend on even after the bonfire night festivities have finished. Choose lightweight knits that are easy to fold away into your bag. The cardigans we’ve selected below are ideal options to have on hand when the temperature drops – just button them up over a long-sleeve T-shirt or crisp flannel shirt to stave off the nippy evening chill.

When it comes to balancing low-effort with maxi-impact, a luxe loungewear co-ord will always fit the bill. From soft and slouchy to smart-fitting and tailored, there’s a range of sophisticated options to buy along the high street. It doesn’t take much effort to style a co-ord: just slip on like PJs and wear with a fluffy borg coat and shearling-lined boots. This combo will spark joy for bonfire season. 

To perfect the cosy-chic look, a statement scarf is the ideal partner for a neutral wool coat. Layer or drape it around you to keep yourself warm and ensure you stand out.

Opt for go-big-or-go-home styles to amp up any casual outfit in an instant. Think very wide – and/or very long – options in fuzzy mohair or soft cashmere, with all the tassels and fringes to boot.
