October brings in our Autumn wardrobes. From trusty jackets to cosy jumpers and warm tights, this month is known for layering up our favoutie pieces.
Yet this year, October has been very mild on some days but also very wet. It has often felt confusing on what to pull out the wardrobe each day.
As part of our new daily newsletter, The Nottinghamian, we take to the streets of Nottingham every Thursday to spot the best-dressed people and get the details of their outfits. Across the city centre, people have been making the weather work for them and still opted for stylish outfits no matter the rain or temperature.
