The Art of Layering – How to Dress for Autumn with H&H

As autumn approaches, it’s time to transition your wardrobe for the colder months. Dressing for autumn is where style meets practicality, and no one does it better than Harvie & Hudson. This season is all about layering, and with a few essentials from H&H’s latest collection, you’ll be ready to take on the season in style. Explore how to layer like a pro and create outfits that are both timeless and functional.

1. The Foundation: Shirts & Base Layers
Every great autumn outfit starts with a well-chosen base. H&H’s shirts, crafted from the finest fabrics, make the perfect foundation for your layered look. Opt for lightweight cotton or brushed cotton shirts in classic shades like white, pale blue, or country checks, providing versatility and comfort. Check out our new stock here.




2. The mid-Layer: Jumpers
For a touch of flair, try layering your shirts with one of our merino wool jumpers. The natural insulation properties of merino wool will keep you warm without adding bulk. We've ordered autumnal hues that complement your shirt, like navy and forest green.

3. Outerwear: Jackets, Coats & Blazers
Your outer layer is the most crucial piece when it comes to autumn dressing. It’s the first thing people notice and needs to be both stylish and functional. H&H offers a range of coats and jackets that seamlessly blend timeless British craftsmanship with modern design.

- Wool Overcoats: A well-tailored overcoat is a must-have for any autumn wardrobe. Choose a beige, navy or dark green wool overcoat from H&H, perfect for draping over a suit or layering casually with jeans and a sweater for weekend outings. Look for details like peak lapels and structured shoulders to elevate your look.

- Trench Coats: For rainy autumn days, a trench coat is a sartorial essential. Opt for a double-breasted design with a belted waist in a neutral hue like beige or khaki. This timeless piece provides protection from the elements while keeping your look sharp and polished.

- Blazers: A well-fitted wool or tweed blazer can be worn over a shirt and under a coat for an effortlessly smart appearance. At H&H we have a range of autumnal colours for you to pick from in our new collection.





4. Trousers: Comfort Meets Elegance
Pair the top half of your outfits with trousers that not only complement your look but also provide warmth and comfort.

- Corduroy Trousers: A quintessential autumn fabric, corduroy adds a textured dimension to your outfit. 
  
- Wool Trousers: Wool trousers offer sophistication and comfort, making them a great addition to any autumn wardrobe. Opt for tailored cuts in neutral tones to ensure versatility.

- Chinos: Chinos in autumnal shades can be perfect for this season. Check out H&H's Meyer collection in colours such as Burgundy and Mustard.

5. Accessories: Finish with Flair
No autumn outfit is complete without the right accessories. From scarves to footwear, the finishing touches are what bring your entire look together.

- Scarves: A wool or cashmere scarf in a complementary shade can add both warmth and an element of elegance. Harvie and Hudson's new scarf collection includes classic and adaptable pieces such as blue and tartan, to brighter, bolder colours like orange and yellow to make a statement in your attire.

- Footwear: Autumn is boot season, and nothing says refined like a pair of leather Chelsea boots or brogues. Polished brown or black leather pairs perfectly with both casual and formal outfits, while suede adds a softer, more textured finish.

- Hats & Gloves: For colder days, consider adding a wool flat cap or leather gloves to your ensemble. These traditional accessories not only keep you warm but also elevate your autumn style. H&H have a variety of flat and bakerboy caps which are perfect for wrapping up warm.
