Searches for Capsule Wardrobe are Up: Here are the 5 Items You NEED this Autumn

August 15, 2025

It’s heating up outside but, everyone’s mind is clearly on their autumn wardrobe, with searches for capsule wardrobe for women up 106% on TikTok. The start of Autumn inspire many to re-assess their wardrobes. And rightly so. Out with what you no longer wear (or simply outfits that have seen better days) and in with new essentials and pieces you can style with most of the things in your closet, and will last you a long time. After all, the colder months make for the perfect time to invest in a capsule wardrobe.

Here, we’ve curated the 5 must-have items that you can base all of your autumn outfits on. From the perfect pair of jeans to your season’s trusty cardigans. 

Hush | Cordelia Barrel Leg Jeans – £90

Presenting the Cordelia jeans: the barrel-leg silhouette you can wear day in, day out because this trending shape goes with everything. We love the authentic light wash (created thanks to a low-impact process used when creating the jeans, using less water, fyi) and the fact they’re roomier through the thigh for a laid-back look and feel.

Hush | Rosie Regular Fit Cotton T-Shirt – £32 

An easy way to make your basics feel less, well…basic? Go for tonal colours, like the effortlessly cool almond shade of the Rosie T-shirt. It’s made from pure organic cotton and feels super soft on, meaning we’ll be wearing it on repeat with jeans and joggers for the foreseeable.

New Look | Dark Mink Crew Neck Knit Cardigan – £29.99

Stay cosy in this dark mink cardigan, a staple for your casual wardrobe. Neatly buttoning up at the front to a crew-neck style, it’s sure to be worn on repeat.

River Island | Brown Short Belted Wrap Coat – £69 

Add warmth and structure to your autumn outfits with this chic brown wrap coat. The belted design cinches the waist for a flattering silhouette, making it a sophisticated layer for any occasion.

River Island | Black Square Heel Stretch Ankle Boots – £46

Complete your capsule wardrobe with these sleek black ankle boots. Featuring a comfortable stretch fit and a modern square heel, they’re the perfect pair to transition your look from day to night.
