Plaid, suede and cord: autumn's best outer layer

Autumn has arrived, and with that sharp chill in the air first thing in the morning, we’re all reaching for a jacket. This season is all about texture and a bit of attitude. Think Massimo Dutti’s plaid and suede-wool bombers, a waxed corduroy jacket with a high neck, and M&S’s brushed funnel-neck midi coat for when the temperature really drops. You’ll wear each of them again and again, and none of them is trying too hard.
