Autumn Layering Guide: How To Layer In Autumn

As daylight dwindles, rain showers greet us and temperatures begin to dip, striking the right balance between fabrics and layers becomes paramount for conquering the capricious autumn weather. At Cordings, we’re renowned for our country clothing expertise and autumn holds a special place in our hearts. Our extensive collection offers a diverse array of garments ideally suited for this ever-changing and vibrant season. Let our style guide be your compass to curate the ideal autumn wardrobe.

When the British weather is unpredictable, knitwear comes to the rescue as the ultimate layering . Our smart cable crew neck is made from a luxurious cashmere and lambswool blend knitted in Scotland in a 3ply cable knit, these crew neck jumpers are perfect for adding a layer of warmth during the cooler evenings or under one of our tweed Jackets in the colder months. The Schoffel cashmere cable ¼ zip jumpers are also extremely popular in Autumn. Some days and evenings will call for extra warmth as autumn unfolds, especially in the Scottish Highlands! Enter lambswool, the finest wool sourced from a lamb’s very first shearing. Our Lambswool V-Neck jumper, available in 18 shades from classics to brighter hues is an excellent choice for cooler days. Instead of a jacket, wear it over one of our gingham Shirts for the ultimate cosiness when the temperature drops. Top the outfit off with a pair of Moleskin Jeans which are both comfortable and stylish.

Tweed Jackets

Cordings tweed jackets hold a cherished place in the wardrobes of many discerning individuals. Our medium-weight tweeds are ideal during this transitional season, offering the perfect balance of warmth without any cumbersome weight, especially when the sun occasionally graces the skies with its presence. With an array of patterns and colours, you can easily find one that harmonises with autumn’s rich palette. For an early autumn ensemble, consider one of our linen shirts as a comfortable base layer. When the weekends turn chilly, Cordings own 1/4 zip lambswool jumpers stand ready to provide that extra layer of cosy warmth.
