One day it's bare legs and bare arms. The next, you wake up in the morning and think: Where did summer actually go?
But a wardrobe change doesn't mean that summer clothes have to be completely put away and your autumn wardrobe has to start from scratch.
On the contrary. The transition to autumn is an excellent opportunity to play with layers, combine light styles with knits, and let new colours and details change your look.
Here are our suggestions for how to get more out of what you already have – and which styles can help your wardrobe transition smoothly into
autumn.
Autumn attire starts with what you already have
Before you pack away your summer wardrobe, take another look. Many of the styles you've worn all summer can easily get a new lease of life in the autumn weather.
A T-shirt doesn't have to go into winter hibernation just because the temperature drops. Wear it under a cardigan. A shirt can get a new look under knitwear. And your summer dress can hang around a little longer if you add a warmer layer.
It's precisely the layers that make the transition easy.
For example, you can combine a simple top or T-shirt with knitwear, or wear a shirt open as an extra layer while the weather still hasn't quite made up its mind. This allows you to take something off when the afternoon sun appears – and put it back on when the temperature drops.
Start with knitting and let there be color
Knitwear is one of the easiest ways to make a summer look more autumnal. But autumn certainly doesn't have to mean that all colours have to disappear.
The current knitwear collection includes these colourful favourites: BCERNA v-neck jumper, BCELSA striped jumper, BCALANA striped jumper and BCALVINA knit vest
Especially the striped BCALANA in Soft Rose is a good example of the transition we are looking for: summer's lighter colours can easily linger, even if you start adding more layers.
If you already have a shirt, a dress or a pair of trousers you love, try adding knitwear first instead of changing the entire outfit.
Styling idea: Let the shirt collar or a little of the shirt be visible under the knitwear. It adds more layers and more play without making the outfit complicated.
Your secret weapon in changing weather...
There are mornings when a T-shirt is too little, but a knit feels like too much. This is where the shirt comes in.
Wear it buttoned with trousers or a skirt, open over a top, or as a layer under a knit. These are precisely the kind of styles that make an autumn wardrobe more flexible.
Right now, you'll find, among others, the BCCHARLOTTE shirt in Coffee, the BCSIENNA shirt blouse in Mustard, the BCMOON shirt blouse in Plum, and the BCALLY loose shirt in Brown Camouflage.
Here, you can either let the autumn colour fill the entire outfit or use the shirt as a contrast. A Coffee shade with pink. Mustard with denim. Plum with a calmer bottom.
Autumn deserves a little counterpoint.
Let your pants set the autumn color
One of the fun and creative aspects of autumn fashion is the colours.
In the current collection, you'll find, for example, BCDAVINA balloon pant in Coffee, BCMALLU barrel pant in Espresso, BCNANCY pant in Taupe and BCALLY balloon pant in Brown Camouflage.
Wear a pair of autumn trousers with a T-shirt or top from your summer wardrobe while the temperature still allows. Later, the same bottoms can be styled with a shirt, cardigan, or knitwear.
And if you prefer prints over subdued shades? Then camouflage, checks, and other patterns are an excellent way to add a bit more edge among autumn's classic colours. Checks and camouflage, in particular, play a central role in the trends we see in autumn fashion in 2026.
Frequently asked questions about autumn clothes
What should you have in an autumn wardrobe?
Start with styles that can be layered: trousers, shirts, tops, knitwear, cardigans, and an extra outer layer. Combine them with pieces from your summer wardrobe so you don't have to change your entire wardrobe at once.
How do I use my summer clothes in autumn?
Add layers. For example, wear a cardigan over a summer dress, a shirt over a top, or knitwear with a skirt. This way, many summer styles can stay in rotation a little longer.
What colours are good for autumn?
Deeper shades like brown, burgundy, army green, and plum work well for autumn, but also try combining them with pink, blue, mustard yellow, or prints. This adds more personality and keeps the colours in your wardrobe fresh.
How do I create an autumn outfit with layers?
Start with a light base layer, add a shirt, knit, or cardigan, and possibly finish with a jacket. The point is that layers can be taken off and on as the temperature changes.
How do I make autumn clothes more colourful?
You don't have to start with an entirely colourful outfit. Choose one colour, a print, or an accessory as a focal point, and build the rest of the look around it.
