4 Chic Looks From Whistles I’ll Be Wearing On Repeat This Autumn, From Work to Weekends

Is anyone else just so ready to welcome the autumn/winter season? I can’t wait to wrap up in full-length coats, get cosy in cashmere and finally be able to wear denim without the regret that comes with sweating on the commute home. It’s undoubtedly my favourite season, as it is for many fashion editors, as the cooler temperatures give us an excuse for more layers (which, you do the maths, means more clothes). At Who What Wear UK, when we enter into the new chapter of the year, and especially in September—around fashion month and the arrival of the “back to school” mood—the office is filled with chatter about new purchases and pieces we can’t wait to get back into our wardrobes again (puffer coat, is that you?).

One brand that comes up time and time again is Whistles. No surprise there—you’ll have no doubt seen our autumn dressing guides and capsule-wardrobe edits brimming with its joyous colourful knitwear, premium leather pieces and denim. But this season seems stronger than ever. Maybe I’ve just been wearing cotton minidresses for too long and have been starved of really good, wrap-up-worthy pieces for too long, but I don’t think it’s that. Standout staples from the recent Whistles collection—and current obsessions that live in my mind rent-free—include but are not limited to this sublime patchwork denim button-down.

In recent years, Whistles has broadened its horizons and feels more at the forefront of our minds when perusing the high street on a Saturday afternoon (or online during a lunchtime scroll). From its cool collaborations with It-girl brand Hai, the truly phenomenal bridal collections that really have proven you don’t need to spend a fortune on a wedding dress; or most recently, its new bricks-and-mortar store in Covent Garden, Whistles seems to be going from one success to another.
