As the weather turns colder, choosing the right outfit can be a challenge, especially when aiming for a stylish yet comfortable look. While working from home is my routine, I still prefer outfits that are cozy, warm, and presentable, making them essential pieces in my wardrobe.
Upon discovering JD Williams’ latest autumn collection, I immediately identified key items to incorporate into my work attire rotation. Ranging from flowing co-ords to structured denim pieces and a dreamy cozy coat, these are my top picks that seamlessly transition from work to casual settings during the autumn season.
Denim is a timeless favorite in my wardrobe, suitable for office days, remote work setups, or even date nights. Hence, it was inevitable for me to include some of JD Williams’ new denim selections. Despite potential mixed opinions, I adore the barrel leg jeans for their flattering fit on my curvy frame, versatility to pair with various tops, and ability to elevate even a basic ensemble.
One standout piece I acquired was the Mid Blue Barrel Leg Jeans, discounted from £48 to £45. These jeans boast a waistband that sits just right, maintaining proportion with an above-ankle cropped length. Notably comfortable and soft, they offer a slight stretch to retain their shape, and sizing down provided a perfect fit.
On a milder day, I styled the jeans with an H&M Collared Cardigan (£27.99) and a pair of adidas Originals Taekwondo Mei Ballet trainers (£85), ideal for a lengthy commute or staying warm without overheating. For colder days, I opted for a double denim look, pairing the jeans with JD Williams’ Pure Cotton Mid Blue Volume Sleeve Denim Top (£38).
The denim top features a tailored, flattering silhouette with voluminous sleeves, offering a more sophisticated vibe compared to a standard denim shirt. Sticking to your usual size is recommended, although sizing down for a tighter fit is also an option.
Another noteworthy set from the collection is the Stripe Oversized Long Sleeve Shirt (£34) paired with the Pinstripe Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers (£25.60, originally £32) and the Wine Maxi Teddy Faux Fur Coat (£63, reduced from £90). This co-ord set is perfect for both office wear and work-from-home comfort, providing a polished look suitable for video meetings yet feeling akin to luxurious pajamas.
The oversized shirt offers a flowy fit, while the drawstring trousers are loose and comfy with a flattering flow that exudes intentional style. The burgundy hue adds a chic touch for the autumn season, ensuring these pieces become staple items in my wardrobe rotation.
Lastly, the Wine Maxi Teddy Faux Fur Coat stands out as a statement piece with its boxy silhouette and flattering fit, ideal for layering over chunky knitwear. While the faux leather lining may initially restrict movement, the coat’s luxurious appearance, especially with faux leather piping details, makes it a versatile piece to pair with various outfits, from jeans to midi dresses, or even as outerwear for special occasions.
