Jo Whiley has cemented dungarees as an autumn wardrobe staple, styling the effortlessly cool denim piece with a simple white t-shirt and collection of dainty gold jewellery.

Jo Whiley has embraced autumnal fashion quicker than any other celeb out there, giving us all the inspiration we need this year to build the perfect autumn capsule wardrobe that'll see us through the season in style.

We fell in love with her chocolate brown velvet suit earlier this week, with the stunning co ord style prompting us to hit ‘check out’ on velvet pieces for autumn. And now Jo has convinced us that dungarees are the denim piece missing from our collection after styling them in the most effortlessly cool way.

The perfect flattering jumpsuit to see you through the cooler months, effortlessly fitting into both your autumn and winter capsule wardrobe, Jo's stylish dungarees are a staple piece. For those days where you want the comfort of jeans and the ease of throwing together just basic pieces to create a cool look, they elevate your outfit and bring a casually chic edge that works for a variety of occasions.

Shop Dungarees

We love Jo's simple approach to styling that saw her pair her dungarees with a plain white tank top and selection of dainty gold jewellery.

The pared back look may have been minimal, but it had a striking effect. The crisp white vest against the deep denim hue of the dungarees, and the dainty chain jewellery against the oversized, rugged denim, worked to create an edgy feel that Jo has come to be known for and always pulls off effortlessly.

While we can't see what shoes she chose to finish off the outfit with, knowing Jo, she's wearing a super cool pair of trainers like the timeless Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Canvas or another similar pair of trending white trainers.

Recreating her outfit this season, for an added layer of warmth, we'd throw on a trench coat or padded bomber jacket over the dungarees and maybe add a stylish pair of winter boots too.
