The Lily + James Autumn State of Mind

Autumn isn’t just a season—it’s a feeling, it´s a state of mind. At Lily + James, our fall collection was designed for the moments that make the season magical.

1. Cozy Morning Rituals

Cooler mornings call for layers that feel refined yet effortless. Slip into the Italian Knit Turtleneck and pair it with the Italian Knit Ribbed Fitted Midi Skirt in Heather Grey—a tonal combination that feels both polished and relaxed. Cinch the waist with the Ivan Classic Leather Belt for subtle structure, and finish with soft leather mules and simple gold hoops. A look made for coffee in hand, quiet mornings, and easing into the day with intention.

2. Golden Afternoon Walks

For afternoons that glow with turning leaves and golden light, lean into effortless layering with texture and structure. The Lace Knitted Cardigan adds a touch of softness, balanced by the clean lines of the Soft 90’s Straight Jeans in Dark Wash. Define the waist with the Ivan Classic Leather Belt for a polished finish. Complete the look with classic loafers or Chelsea boots and a crossbody bag—an outfit that feels timeless for errands, lunch in town, or a walk beneath crisp autumn skies.

3. Lunch Date Elegance

Midday outings call for a balance of ease and refinement, and the Jodi Knit Dress is the perfect answer. Its sleek silhouette feels polished yet effortless, making it just right for lunch with friends or a city café break. Layer with a cropped cardigan or structured blazer for a touch of warmth, and finish with heeled booties or suede pumps. Understated jewelry and a simple bag elevate the look without overcomplicating it. Sophisticated, simple, and made for moments in the heart of the day.

4. Work-to-Weekend Transition

Versatility is the key to autumn dressing, and the pairing of the Gracie Slim Line Top in white with the Houndstooth Belted Midi Skirt makes it effortless. The clean lines of the top balance the structure of the skirt, while the belted waist adds just the right touch of polish. For the office, finish with classic loafers and a structured tote. When the weekend begins, swap in block heels and a cropped cardigan for an easy transition to dinner or evening plans. Smart styling that carries you from boardroom to bistro with confidence.

5. Weekend Market & Coffee Run

Casual days deserve an outfit that feels relaxed yet thoughtfully put together. The Back Seam Short Sleeve Tee in beige pairs effortlessly with the dark wash Clean Mid Rise Straight Jeans—a timeless base for weekend wear. Layer on the Rochelle Quilted Jacket for warmth and texture, and define the look with the Ivan Belt. Add retro sneakers or ankle boots and a roomy tote for a style that’s perfect for farmers’ markets, coffee runs, or browsing a favorite bookstore. Easy, chic, and endlessly wearable.

Final Thoughts

Autumn is about more than the clothes we wear—it’s about slowing down, savoring the details, and layering life with intention. These five looks are designed to carry you seamlessly through the season: cozy mornings, golden afternoons, midweek lunches, and weekends that stretch into something more.

With pieces that mix comfort and polish, texture and structure, Lily + James invites you to step into an Autumn State of Mind—one outfit, one moment, one golden day at a time.
