    We get it. Getting dressed in the mornings can often be a laborious task, requiring copious amounts of time and patience, it is often the case where you're faced with classic dressing dilemas. How do you style suede? How do you elevate an all-black outfit? Trust me, I've been there before.

    Luckily, I've done all the necessary research to find key outfit formulas that can help answer some of the most popular autumn/winter dressing questions. Drawing inspiration from some of my favourite content creators to formulate easy yet chic outfit formulas to support any daily activity.

    Whether you're looking at work outfits or are building out your capsule wardrobe for the transitional weather, make sure to keep these looks in your inspiration arsenal for those days when you want to spice up a classic wardrobe piece like a wool coat or get a feel of how to style the investment piece you've been eyeing (suede blazer I'm looking at you).

    Read below to get the ultimate styling inspiration and answer some key styling questions, , you're welcome.

    What to wear to the office this season?

    1. Kilt + cashmere knit

    The age-old dilemma of how to elevate an office outfit is something most of us have been through. For this example, we have taken a classic formula, enlisting a maxi skirt paired with knitwear.

    However, to give it some extra style points, try incorporating a tartan maxi skirt with a soft cashmere jumper, adding texture (and warmth) to an often-typical outfit. For some extra boldness, combine different patterns to give the look a more daring twist that is as harmonious as it is chic.

    How to style suede this season?

    2. Maxi dress + suede accessories

    One of this season's biggest trends is suede. The popular fabric is a great option for elevating any look with a neutral edge, plus major retailers and luxury brands are tapping into it, making it available in ready-to-wear and accessories.

    This season, pair a buttery-soft grey jersey dress with a suede piece or more to play with neutral colourways. Whether you incorporate one suede piece or go all out, spray some protector for the unexpected weather, and you're all set.

    How to elevate an all-black outfit?

    3. Puffer + Boots

    Here at MC HQ, plenty of us are obsessed with the chicness that an all-black look brings to the table. However, we understand that a monochrome look can also be a bit challenging to make stand out.

    In this case, try to experiment with volume and textures. Pair a classic puffer jacket with leggings for a voluminous silhouette at the top and a tighter one at the bottom to create a harmonious look. Add accented accessories in your favourite metal for some added dimension, finish off the look with a pair of riding boots and you've got yourself a fail-safe outfit formula.

    What shoes should you wear with wide leg trousers?

    4. Trousers + Wool Coat

    If you love a wide-leg silhouette, whether it's jeans or trousers, you've probably faced this question. Luckily, the style set has provided plenty of options to support the straight-leg adverse. From loafers to platform boots, this season is all about kitten-heel boots. Sleek, comfortable, and timeless, these shoes provide all the height to avoid puddling trousers while looking effortlessly chic. Add a white T-shir, a wool coat, and you're all set.
