Like a Squirrel hoarding their nuts for winter, dedicated fashionistas know that now is the time to be thinking about your purchases for next season. We know it seems crazy, summer has barely got going, but savvy shoppers will have already noticed the autumn winter stock starting to creep into stores. Fashion is always a step ahead so, if you don’t want to fall behind, follow our Semple guide to the items you should be on the hunt for now.
Shirt dress
The shirt dress has been a surprise hit for 2015. Wear either nipped in at the waist with a belt or oversized and slouchy, this versatile number is a perfect throw on item. The shirt dress is also a great transitional piece to team with tights for those September days when the weather just won’t make up its mind!

Suede
This time around the seventies favourite fabric has provided a welcome sophistication to the boho movement. Suede shows no sign of slowing down on the high street next season and is a great investment piece, ideal for crisp autumn days. Whilst the shops have been pushing suede as a summer item, the reality is the heavy fabric has meant they have a lot of stock still to shift. Great news for you, so pick up a suede pencil skirt in the sale now before the new full priced stock comes in.

Jeans
Whilst the thought of encasing your pins in denim might seem crazy when the sun is shining, this is an excellent time to buy your jeans. You’ll often find them in the summer sales so you can grab some real bargains on this winter wardrobe staple. Cropped flares are having a moment and a flash of ankle can make your jeans seem more summer appropriate in the meantime. Denim in general is going to be big in AW15 so if you really can’t face the thought of jeans then invest in an a line denim skirt to wear with chunky tights and a roll neck when the leaves turn.

Yes, believe it or not, the high street is already starting to stock their winter coats. However it is never too early to make such an important fashion purchase. Buy now and as soon as the British winter chill hits you will be completely on trend. Unsure on style? Play it safe with a timeless trench or cosy parka.
