DRIES VAN NOTEN BOOTS<br />
Famed as one of the original Antwerp Six, Dries van Noten is known<br />
for his timeless pieces and avant-garde twist. Each one of his pieces<br />
presents fine details that fashion lovers can truly appreciate, and this<br />
pair of boots is no exception. Crafted in Italy from smooth leather,<br />
these boots are rugged yet stylish. They come with long laces that can<br />
be wrapped around the ankles and give a little bit of a punk rock vibe<br />
while remaining elegant. Bonus: they’ll match pretty much everything<br />
you already own. driesvannoten.com<br />
MONCLER GAMME<br />
BLEU TROUSERS<br />
The Moncler Gamme Bleu Autumn/Winter<br />
<strong>2017</strong> collection was designed by none other<br />
than Thom Browne, so you can expect<br />
tailored pieces with a bit of quirkiness.<br />
Made in Italy from thick navy wool, these<br />
slim-cut trousers will keep you warm all<br />
through winter, just like every other piece<br />
by Moncler. They feature four pockets and<br />
an adjustable tab at the back to get your<br />
preferred fit. This autumn, wear them<br />
rolled up and style them with chunky boots,<br />
a simple T-shirt and a light scarf.<br />

RAG & BONE<br />
DENIM JACKET<br />
Denim jackets have never gone out of style,<br />
and we predict they never will either. You<br />
can also wear them year-round, whether<br />
it’s on a chilly late summer evening or<br />
in winter under your parka. If you don’t<br />
already own one, now is the time to invest,<br />
and this Rag & Bone number will do the<br />
trick. We like the light wash, the fitted<br />
cut and the high-quality denim, which is<br />
sourced from Japan’s Kaihara mill, best<br />
known for its indigo dyeing techniques.<br />

STELLA MCCARTNEY<br />
BLAZER<br />
This autumn, if you only choose one staple<br />
item to add to your wardrobe, a classic (and<br />
versatile) blazer should be it. Forget about<br />
boxy, heavily shoulder-padded numbers.<br />
Instead, go for a fitted and structured<br />
blazer – throw it over a casual white tee, or<br />
wear it over a blouse for a more dressed-up<br />
look. This checked wool blazer from British<br />
designer Stella McCartney ticks all the boxes<br />
and it’s a piece you will keep forever. Wear<br />
it with the matching trousers, or with jeans<br />
and a pair of heels. stellamccartney.com
