European women are known for having exceptional summer style, with many of them living in very palatable climates that loan themselves well to that time of year. However, as autumn rolls around, it’s becomes clear that they’re just as adept at dressing for cooler temperatures are they are warm.
From Oslo to London, Paris to Geneva, the entire European forecast seems to have taken a chilly turn now that September has arrived and, now, we’re starting to see the first of what I expect to be a very chic few months of autumn in some of the continent’s most stylish cities. (At this point I would like to point out the fact that I am aware that London and the entire UK is no longer part of the EU but, from a style point of view, I’ll always consider us united).
So, what do these European autumn outfits look like? Elegant is one word you could use to describe them. Polished is another. And, thankfully, the phrase “easy to re-create” also comes to mind.
Scroll on to see (and shop!) eight very stylish autumn outfits I’ve spotted European women wearing this month.
