Jennifer Aniston knocked our socks off with her red carpet appearance at the Emmys over the weekend. Did you see her Oscar de la Renta pearl-embellished gown? But of course we don't all have award ceremonies to attend (or quite that much money to spend on a dress!), so for a more casual take on autumnal styling, we've revisited the archives and found this absolute gem of a Jen An outfit.

When it comes to autumn capsule wardrobe essentials, it doesn't get much better than a plaid print mini dress, tights and knee boots. Throw in a sophisticated black wool coat and we're well and truly sold! The Friends star is pictured here in New York ten years ago, but this ensemble looks just as good today.

She teamed her Karl Lagerfeld tartan mini dress with black tights, knee high boots and a coat by one of the best British clothing brands, Alexander McQueen. And luckily there are plenty of options out there to help you recreate the look. Credit cards at the ready...

woman&home Fashion Writer Molly Smith tells us why this tartan look transcends seasons. She said: "Knee high boots never fail to make a lasting impression, and the way Jennifer has styled them with an above the knee dress and a sleek tailored coat is certainly worthy of noting down.

"However, what really makes this look stand-out is the plaid pattern, a seasonal print that really works styled with monochrome."
