Recent crisp mornings and cooler evenings are a reminder that autumn has well and truly arrived and while it may seem easy to escape to the comfort of faithful neutrals and black, take a look at the multicoloured knitwear options on offer right now, with designers doing their best to try and make autumnal dressing a little less bleak.
Local knitter Nicole Leybourne's handmade clothing is particularly special for those who love the idea of a one-off: a handmade chunky knit in bubblegum pink or marigold orange (@theknitter) or perhaps the beautifully made organic cotton, turmeric-coloured top from Kowtow (far right).
Teamed with jeans or a relaxed skirt, it provides plenty of inspiration for playful off-duty dressing.
There are plenty of high-street options available too - and despite the fun factor, don't forget to be mindful and choose well.
