In lutruwita/Tasmania, a drop in daily temperatures, condensing of daylight hours and vivid colouring of the leaves is doing the very most to convince us that Summer is over. Sad about it? Not us. The transition to Autumn means a wardrobe update - get these layers on your body.
WORK
Karen Walker Sunglasses An essential pair of chic oval sunglasses, available in classic black, tortoiseshell or marigold.
COS Dress This A-line maxi dress is made from a blend of pure and recycled linen, offering a warmer, heavier weight during Autumn and Winter. It features a relaxed fit with a V-cut back, side-seam pockets and box pleats for a flowing silhouette. Wear it with lace-up leather flats for events, or pare it back with slides or sneakers for a more casual look.
Nakedvice Bag A generously sized woven suede bag that can be worn folded over as a clutch for after-work events, or as a slouchy shoulder bag.

Cleopatra’s Bling Earrings A pair of gold flower studs with pearl detail by iconic jewellery brand Cleopatra’s Bling, and available from Hobart boutique Homeroom Design.
ELK Blazer The perfect transeasonal piece, this understated lightweight linen blazer has a relaxed fit and casual dropped shoulder. It is ideal for layering as the weather gets cooler, and will make any work outfit look polished and put together.
Kowtow Jean If dresses aren’t your thing, these tailored jeans in earthy brown are quietly elegant and feature a button closure either side.
Weekend

Assembly Label Bag The weekend carryall of choice, this textured suede bag has a capacious interior big enough to hold all of the outer layers you’ll inevitably strip off as the day warms up.

Shona Joy Tee An oversized boyfriend T-shirt in an Autumn colourway that will pair well with most laidback weekend outfits.
Asics Shoe Like all outdoor gear, casual sneakers that were originally designed for running and hiking continue to trend. It’s good news for Tassie, where we are genuinely brunching in the city, then taking to nature for a bushwalk.
Night Out
búl Top ‘Jeans and a nice top’ is always in fashion, and a top like this one is the perfect way to dress up denim. It features a delicate floral print, wide sleeves, and two self-fabric ties along the neckline.
Alemais Jean Featuring a relaxed fit and romantic embroidered motif details, these jeans are elevated, sophisticated, and perfect for a night out. There are very few items that don’t go with a pair of jeans, so these are worthy of investment - you’ll return to them time and time again.
Hansen & Gretel Jacket The humble suede jacket is a good investment piece for the cooler months. Crafted from high-quality suede, this one - with its rich texture and earthy tone - can be layered over dresses and sheer skirts, or worn simply with a top and jeans. Its versatility makes it a good buy, offering added warmth while also elevating casual outfits.
Scarlet & Sam Shoe Like all things ‘90s and Y2K, wedges are back. Melbourne label Scarlet & Sam have mastered the modern wedge with this classic, comfortable and chic black pair, which go perfectly with straight leg jeans.

Reliquia Necklace This chunky curb chain with a heart pendant has a vintage-inspired feel, and can be layered (more casual) or worn solo (peak elegance) to complete your evening look.
