I Just Tried On Zara's Autumn Collection—These 4 Pieces Will Earn Me So Many Compliments


Welcome to The Great Try-On. With autumn well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best new-in pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to your most successful purchases of the year.

A new style moment has arrived in the form of autumn. As the sharpest shift from one season to another, the break between summer and autumn can feel like a quick rush to pack up the linens that worked hard over the warmer months, and steadfastly return our trusted knits, denims and outerwear to pride of place. Like many, I found myself rejigging my wardrobe for October, and in doing so quickly found there were clear gaps where mild weather heroes should be. As the cold days have set in and will stick around until milder spring days break into sunshine, now is prime time to make clever additions to my hard-working wardrobe.
