Although it’s technically still summer here in London, this past week alone has seen a number of chilly blasts and windy spells in which you definitely need longer sleeves and heavier fabrics. And that can only mean one thing—my favourite season, Autumn, is fast on the way. I’ve already started saving the classic and elegant autumn outfit ideas that I’m planning to recreate when the temperature inevitably drops. But now that I’m on the hunt for those slightly trendier items to make my outfits feel fresh and effortlessly chic for 2025, the French fashion set will always be my first point of call.
