With the arrival of September, building the perfect autumn capsule wardrobe is certainly on everyone's mind. And this classic combination from Kate Winslet demonstrates that core staples can be reimagined through clever styling to make the ultimate daytime looks.
As we move into autumn, we start to focus on practical outfit solutions, with an emphasis on both style and warmth.

An oversized blazer doubles for a coat through this period, and can be styled so many ways. Wear day-to-day with denim or tailored trousers, or layer over an evening dress for formal occasion.

This loose-fit blazer is an affordable option if you're wanting the oversized look without spending a fortune. Plus it's super stylish too, combine with denim jeans and you have a winner.
The podcast host Elizabeth Day shared a video on Instagram which featured a clip of the episode. And she captioned the video, "Kate Winslet. On How To Fail. No, really." Later saying, "Excuse me while I find a cool, dark room to swoon in.".
Our woman&home Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr comments on this look, “This confusing weather calls for jeans and blazers, and Kate Winslet just demonstrated an easy way to put a fresh spin on a classic wardrobe combination. Her layered gold necklaces and oversized tailoring are super chic—and really easy to recreate in your own everyday wardrobe.
When the cool weather returns, I immediately reach for my denim jeans. However, once you’ve got the best jeans for your body type, the next hurdle is styling them. That’s where an oversized blazer comes in—it's the perfect piece to instantly elevate your denim, adding more structure to your outfit whilst still keeping the overall effortless feel. Add some of your best white trainers, and you have a winner.
Plus, blazers are a great choice for in-between weather, offering just the right amount of warmth without being too heavy. And an oversized fit is even better for transitioning from autumn to winter, as you can layer knitwear underneath to make an ultra-stylish look. You can also easily take on and off a blazer, making it great for when you're going from one climate to another, perfect for those autumn shopping trips!
