According to fashion consultant Soraya Dayani, autumn is the perfect season to invest in classic pieces.

For many years, my go-to look for the fall season has been a printed dress, a statement coat and a boot with a block heel. My inspiration stems from my love of the 70s, luxurious knits, and designers who have stayed true to their vision for decades. Sometimes, it's just about reimagining your styling or investing in one new piece that revitalizes what you already own and love.

Here are my selects and styling tips

Look 1

DRESS: Pearl Lowe - No matter the trends, Pearl Lowe never follows them, and that’s why I adore her! TRENCH: Maison Mayle - Another female designer who has stayed true to her creative vision. BOOTS: NO.6 -Stepping into the store is like entering Aladdin’s cave; you never want to leave! CLUTCH: Romi Loch Davis - This pistachio shade works well with autumnal tones.

The Boot

Tucked in tailored pants, semi-hidden under long skirts, or worn with floaty dresses, the knee-high boot adds that touch of 70s and 80s nonchalance glamour that never gets old. Once pulled on, it becomes your ultimate confidence booster.

The Midi Skirt
