As hard as it is to say goodbye to summer – and what a summer we have had – we can’t help but get excited about autumn and the gorgeous new wardrobe that comes with it.
What we love most about fashion at this time of the year is that you only need a few key pieces to help elevate your current wardrobe, which is why we’ve selected five of this season’s must-have trends that will help you do just that.
Keep on reading to see our top picks from the stores at St Nics. Happy shopping!
The Mac is Back
Your faithful companion, the classic trench coat, has made its return like it always does. There’s a reason why the trench always comes back around – it’s the perfect lightweight jacket to layer up with and beat the autumnal chill plus, it is oh so chic! Choose from a wide range of styles, from sleeveless and leather-look to shorter lengths and an abundance of shades. This is one Mac you won’t be leaving home without.
