As summer begins to fade and the first hints of autumn arrive, wardrobes naturally start to shift. While the days can still feel pleasantly mild, cooler mornings, crisp evenings and unpredictable weather make this the perfect time to embrace transitional dressing. The key to autumnal clothing is versatility: lightweight layers, rich seasonal colours and comfortable footwear that can adapt to changing temperatures throughout the day.
At Leekes, our latest arrivals from Apricot, Nougat London and Pavers have landed in store, bringing together everything you need to refresh your wardrobe for the season ahead. From autumn-inspired dresses and cosy knitwear to practical footwear and stylish accessories, these collections make dressing for the transitional months effortless.
The secret to a successful autumn wardrobe lies in layering. During this time of year, lightweight knitwear, midi dresses, versatile jackets and comfortable footwear become essential staples. Choosing autumnal clothing in warm earthy tones such as chocolate brown, olive green, rust, burgundy and cream allows you to create sophisticated looks that reflect the beauty of the changing season.
Whether you’re updating your workwear, planning weekend outfits or looking for practical pieces for outdoor adventures, the latest collections at Leekes offer plenty of inspiration.
Apricot’s latest collection perfectly captures the essence of autumn with elegant silhouettes, rich seasonal colours and versatile layering pieces.
One of the standout styles is a beautiful brown polka dot midi dress, combining timeless design with one of the season’s most sought-after shades. The rich chocolate hue brings warmth and sophistication, making it an ideal choice for those looking to introduce more autumnal clothing into their wardrobe. Styled with pumps during milder weather or paired with ankle boots and knitwear as temperatures cool, it’s a piece that will work throughout the season.
Alongside statement dresses, Apricot’s knitwear collection offers lightweight jumpers and cosy cardigans that are perfect for layering.
