Although the temperature’s dropping, that doesn’t mean your level of steeze has to. From heavyweight staples to the finishing touches that pull a fit together, these are the pieces worth having on your radar this season. My curated picks, no filler or BS — just good pieces worth making room for, through the lens of RR.
BANDS BASED Beanie
A Beanie is the perfect starter for Autumn Staples, but that doesn’t mean the one you pick has to be safe/boring. This washed red BND$ Beanie brings a pop of colour to your rotation, adding that extra bit of character to even the simplest of fits. Less is more, because sometimes it’s the finishing touches which do the most.
SUAVO LONDON Raglan Longsleeve
With it being a little colder now, some different texture to your pieces might be best appropriate. And once again, SUAVO London have just what we all need. Their latest Raglan Longsleeve is a waffle knit, ensured to keep you a bit warmer on those dark & colder nights. But it’s not all in the warmth, because the top itself, alongside its beautiful graphic, comes in 3 different colours. One for each mood, one for each occasion.
HENLEY SHIRTS
A recent addition into my personal style. Henley shirts are one of those pieces which can do a bit of everything. Keep it casual for your everyday routine, or dress it up for something a little bit more special and cosy, regardless of the outside temperature. Extremely versatile, easy to style, and arguably the most easily accessible piece of true style today.
SUAvo Stud Pleated Trousers
Now jeans can get a little played out, so why not switch up your rotation. Suavo’s Stud Pleated Trousers, to me, is the perfect alternative. Them days when you’re tryna step clean to the function, but jeans just aren’t cutting it for whatever reason. This is what you’re looking for. Same level of versality, but brings a completely different energy when you walk in the room.
V? ZIP UP HOODIE
I said it before, with autumn comes different textures in clothes. Waffle knit specifically. And what better way to wrap up in these colder months than with an ole reliable hoodie. Only thing is, this hoodie isn’t your ordinary hoodie. Yeah , this one wasn’t made for layering, it was designed to stand out. This waffle knit hoodie from Five Questions is almost guaranteed to leave you feeling real nice from its warmth, but probably even more so from the compliments its due to attract.
Customised Converses
The classic Converse silhouette is so versatile than even luxury fashion houses are notes *cough - Rick Owens - cough*. Now what I’ve realised is that when you have something so popular, so iconic, you gotta find a way to make it your own, or you run the risk of just being the next person wearing chucks. And that’s what makes the art of customisation so great. Because it’s now customised to you and your personality, and that in itself is the most important thing in fashion. Samuel Bailey captures this perfectly with his pairs, they feel like natural extensions of his personality and character. It’s just further proof that sometimes, all a staple needs is a little bit of individuality.
