The Autumn Edit: Cosy Layers, Rich Colours and New Season Favourites

The Autumn Edit: Cosy Layers, Rich Colours and New Season Favourites

There is something special about autumn on the coast. Crisp mornings along the Whitley Bay seafront, golden afternoons and those first evenings when you reach for a proper jumper. It is our favourite time of year to refresh a wardrobe, and our autumn collections are now landing in store and online at Escape Boutique.

Whether you are looking for a new coat to see you through to winter, a knit you will live in, or a pair of boots that can handle a soggy walk on the Links, we have hand picked pieces from brands we love to help you make the switch from summer to autumn in style.

Knitwear You Will Want to Live In

Knitwear is the backbone of any autumn wardrobe. Our knitwear collection is full of chunky cardigans, soft roll necks and relaxed jumpers in warm, earthy shades: think rust, camel, forest green and cream.

Layer a fine knit over a shirt or blouse for the office, or throw an oversized cardigan over a slip dress for weekend brunch. Brands like B Young, Fransa and Indi & Cold are ideal for easy, wearable pieces that work hard all season.

Jackets and Coats for Changeable Days

North East weather keeps us on our toes, so a good coat is a must. Our jackets and coats range covers everything from lightweight shackets and quilted jackets for those in between days, to longline styles that will keep you warm right through to spring.

Our top tip? Choose one neutral coat that works with everything, then have fun with colour through your scarves, knitwear and accessories.

Autumn Dresses That Transition Beautifully

You do not need to pack your dresses away just because the temperature drops. Our dresses collection includes midi and maxi styles in deeper prints and richer tones that are made for layering.

Pair a printed midi with ankle boots, opaque tights and a chunky knit and you have an outfit that takes you from school run to dinner with ease. Browse Free People, Dedicated and Numph for dresses with real personality.

The Denim and Trouser Refresh

Autumn is the perfect time to update your everyday basics. Head to our Denim Shop for wide leg, straight and relaxed fits, or explore our trousers and skirts for tailored styles, cords and easy pull on pieces. Finish the look with one of our tops and tees for a relaxed layered outfit.

Boots and Shoes Built for the Season

Great footwear makes all the difference when the leaves start falling. Our boots and shoes edit features statement styles from Fly London and practical favourites from Sorel and Blowfish.

For rainy dog walks and beach days, our wellies are a must. The Merry People Bobbi Wellington Boot in rust is a customer favourite and the perfect autumn shade.

Finishing Touches: Autumn Accessories

Accessories are the easiest way to bring a new season feel to the pieces you already own. Here is what we are reaching for right now:

• Scarves: Wrap up in soft, oversized styles from our scarves collection for instant warmth and colour.
• Hats and gloves: Beanies, berets and cosy gloves from our hats and gloves range, including pieces from Barts.
• Socks and tights: Fun patterned socks and opaque tights from our socks and tights edit keep dresses and skirts wearable all season.
• Bags and jewellery: Update your look with a new bag or purse and a few gold toned pieces from our jewellery collection.

Cosy Nights In

Autumn is not just about what you wear out. As the evenings draw in, treat yourself to something from our PJs and gowns collection, light a candle from our home fragrance range and settle in with a treat from our chocolate shelf. It is also a lovely time to get ahead with birthday and early Christmas shopping from our gifting collection.
