We might all be feeling a little hot under the collar now, but as we hit mid-August and the end of summer is in sight, fashion retailers are noticing one major shopping trend. Despite the temperatures continuing to soar, women aren't investing in any more summer styles and instead prepping autumn outfit ideas, excited for cooler climes. And these best-selling cardigans and jumpers at M&S are proof that building an autumn capsule wardrobe begins now.
Simple silhouettes, crew-neck button-down cardigans, relaxed V-necks, and slim sweaters are being added to baskets in a host of neutral and seasonal shades. Great building blocks that will help to refresh your favourite jeans, add an autumnal feel to silky slip skirts, or make directional trouser shapes feel a little cosier. If you want to get ahead of the style game and not miss out on the first M&S autumn drop of the season, it's time to start shopping.
