5 autumn buys to bring in the new season

1. A pair of cosy slipper sliders

As the colder nights draw in, nothing quite beats slipping into a comfy pair of slippers after a long day. John Lewis’ Sheepskin Mule Slippers are a handy slip-on style with a soft lining for a comfy fit. 

“Nothing says autumn-ready like a pair of cosy slippers and this stylish sheepskin  pair is a great choice for the new season,” Rivkie Baum, Woman&Home's Digital Fashion Editor explains.

2. Winter-ready boots

The classic ankle boot is the signature style that never goes out of fashion. This classic shape is a great transitional piece from milder autumn months to harsher winter weather, and John Lewis’ Patsey Leather Square Toe Zip Up Ankle Boots made from supple leather with sturdy block heels and a faceted toe

“Practical and stylish, this chunky pair of boots will team effortlessly with everything from midi dresses to jeans,” Rivkie explains.

3. Warm rugs for cold floors

After a hot and humid summer, many of us are embracing the winter months ahead, but our interiors may need some adjustments to acclimatise to the colder weather.

“Never underestimate the importance of rugs under foot during the winter months,” Tamara Kelly, Lifestyle Editor at womanandhome.com explains. “Not only to keep toes toasty as you move around the home, but also to draw comfort from the sensory experience of feeling softness and warmth under foot with every step, which instantly makes you feel more relaxed and at home in your environment.”

John Lewis’ Fusion Souk Kelim Rug is created for real life and an affordable option that takes inspiration from Moroccan art. “This stylish rug design boasts the ability to add pattern without being too overpowering," explains Tamara. "It also creates intrigue by way of layering texture to your existing floor, whether that's on top of floorboards, tiles, or short-pile carpets.”

4. A stylish woven jumper

As the nights draw in, a warm jumper is one of our staple fashion buys for winter wardrobes. John Lewis’ Striped Recycled Poly V-Neck Jumper is consciously crafted and a great investment piece that taps into the classic French-girl trend, woven from a blend of soft fabrics. 

“Statement knits are a great way to instantly uplift any casual look. Try half-tucking this stripy jumper into an A-line skirt to nail smart-casual dressing for the season ahead,” Rivkie suggests. 

5. A cast-iron casserole dish

After a hot and humid summer, many of us are embracing the colder months ahead and looking forward to indulging in some warming comfort food. As well as being a great tool for preparing tasty one-pot dishes, cast-iron cookware, like John Lewis' Cast Iron Shallow Casserole Dish, is also aesthetically pleasing and will add a rustic vibe to your kitchen.
