Autumn is slowly creeping up, with the return to school and September right around the corner, it won’t be long until the cooler climes take full effect.

2. Swap dainty chains for chunky metals
Arguably, a lot of transitioning from the warmer to cooler months lies in the accessories. An easy way of marking a change in the seasons is to refresh your jewellery from fine chained necklaces to chunky bracelets and bold rings.
“Jewellery on the runway is set to make a bold statement this season with big, brightly coloured gemstones taking the spotlight,” says Ben Roberts, managing director of British jewellery brand Clogau. “Expect rich hues like rubies, emeralds and sapphires to dominate on the runway, with designers pairing them with classic settings but adding their own contemporary twist.”

3. Layered summer dress
If you’re not willing to depart with your summer frocks just yet – layering with jumpers, cardigans, trenches and scarves is a great way to transition the piece into autumn.

4. Swap jeans for skirts
It may sound counterintuitive to swap your trousers for skirts when you’re going into autumn, but opting for a denim midi skirt over jeans can immediately pull an autumnal look into the summery realm.

5. Swap sandals for sneakers (or boots)
You don’t need to adjust your whole outfit when shifting between the seasons – sometimes the biggest difference lies in the smallest details.
