Navigating occasionwear in the transitional months can be tricky. For your event styling solutions, look to Sophie Habboo's edit of Coast pieces that are both practical and perfect.

COVER STORY

The easiest way to dress for an autumn wedding? Choosing a matching cover-up to layer with. This lace bolero adds extra femininity whilst allowing the dress to peek through, so you don't have to choose between the main event and the supporting role.

THE PERFECT FORMULA

As the cold comes in, ensure it stays out with clever layering solutions. Choose a classy and tailored blazer that will keep things refined, whilst ensuring comfort throughout the special occasion. On the bottom, swap skirts for trousers for an elegant alternative.
