Autumn fashion is honestly my favourite. It’s that sweet spot where layering becomes fun, textures start to play a bigger role, and boots really shine. This season I’ve teamed up with Dune London to style a pair of their classic knee high boots in a few different ways to show just how versatile they can be.
When it comes to knee high boots, I love finding a pair that not only elevates an outfit but feels wearable all season long. The right pair can completely transform even the simplest look and make it feel effortlessly put together. Whether you’re dressing up for a weekend brunch, heading into work or just running errands, a great pair of boots can tie everything together.
Everyday Autumn Layers 🍂
For the first look I went for something colourful and playful, built around a soft knit and a vintage waistcoat I thrifted in Italy, layered over faux leather shorts. I added some polka dot tights for texture and to bring a bit of fun, playful interest into the look. I balanced it out with a long trench coat because these shorts are itty bitty, and honestly, I love the mix of proportions.
This is the kind of outfit I’d wear to dinner or even a creative work day. It’s playful but still polished, and the knee high boots pull it all together.

The Classic Jeans and Boots Combo 🍂

The second look leans into that effortless autumn style I love so much. Think wide leg jeans, a printed blouse, and a classic trench coat layered on top. It’s easy, elevated and a reminder that knee high boots work just as well with denim as they do with skirts and dresses.
I love pairing wide leg jeans with a sleek and pointy boot, it gives the outfit a polished finish while still feeling relaxed. The distressed hem on these jeans adds a little edge, and the trench ties it all together. It’s one of those go-to combos that works for daytime plans, meetings or even a casual dinner.
Skirts and Knee High Boots 👢

For the third look I wanted to keep things cosy and neutral, so I paired a mini skirt with a striped top. There’s just something about stripes that always gives me a little Parisian vibe…simple, classic and chic. I started with a chunky cardigan for that soft, relaxed feel, then swapped it for a blazer to add a bit of structure and versatility.
Style tip: if you’re building autumn outfits with skirts, pairing them with knee high boots is an easy way to stay warm without sacrificing style. It adds a nice balance, keeps the look elevated and gives you that effortless autumn vibe.
I love how easy this outfit is to build on. You can throw on a trench, a leather jacket or even a longline coat and it’ll still work. There are honestly so many ways to style this combo, which is why it’s one of my go-to autumn pairings.
Why Knee High Boots Are A Capsule Essential!
My capsule wardrobe has always included at least one good pair of boots. They’re a seasonal anchor, the kind of piece that makes even the simplest outfit feel styled and intentional. They work with everything from dresses and skirts to jeans and tailored trousers, which is why I love this pair from Dune London. They tick every box… comfy enough for long days, structured enough to make a statement, and neutral enough to go with almost anything in my wardrobe.
