Image by: JD Williams
For a season that's off to an unpredictable start, we're putting our trust in universally-loved classics - the best of which you'll find at JD Williams right now.
Transitional weather is confusing to say the least. After all, when else in the year are you likely to style knitwear and sandals in one look? As temperature cool in the next few days and weeks and we start to stash away our sundresses and sandals, a whole new set of seasonal heroes are making their way into the spotlight to help us navigate what comes next – and you might be surprised just how familiar they feel. Of all the autumnal buys to get excited about (and there are a lot) in this confusing weather it's the classics that come out on top. We’re talking chic and simple neutral hues accented with bright pops of colour, warm-yet-cool layers and an hint of leather styled with midi skirts or smart wide-leg trousers to up the ante and add a bit of flair as we bid farewell to summer styles. Those classics you've come to rely on time and time again, only better.
In unpredictable times, having something familiar to fall back on is not only comforting - in fact, it's confidence boosting. Few things can make you feel as good about yourself as tried-and-tested silhouettes like your favourite LBD or well-worn blazer - something JD Williams clearly took to heart with their new season edit.
Filled with confidence-boosting buys, their new Anthology brand - a range that heroes timeless elegance - offers everything from the softest leather midi skirt and the perfect trench coat, to the bright wide-leg trouser and smart poplin shirt. Everything you could possibly need to elevate your everyday look.
This new season edit has all been been specifically designed with midlife-aged women in mind, to empower them to feel like the best version of themselves in a market that can often feel likes its catering to one age group only. But let's be real - these luxe staples will appeal to every woman of every age, shape and size. JD Williams consistently go the extra mile to feel inclusive and ensure that more women can unlock their full wardrobe potential. Not only with the models they use but with sizes too, ranging from 8 up to 32 for what surely has to be one of – if not the most – inclusive collection from a high street brand.
