The last days of September signal the departing of summer and the arrival of autumn, making it an apt time to consider your wardrobe for the season ahead. Notably, it is time to select enveloping outerwear – whether a coat, jacket, blazer or warming knit – to shield against the changing elements and rapidly falling temperatures. 

Captured by French photographer Valentin Hennequin and styled by Wallpaper* fashion director Jason Hughes, this season’s finest women’s outerwear is photographed on the streets of Paris and first shown in the October 2023 Guest Editors’ issue of Wallpaper* (on international newsstands now). Comprising looks from Max Mara, Givenchy, Ferragamo and more, it is an exercise in translating the runway to reality.

Expect amped-up and billowing silhouettes – whether the perfect broad-shouldered suede jacket by Prada, an elegant, elongated black coat by Gucci, or piled-up layers of beige and brown from Louis Vuitton – alongside inflections of bourgeois Parisian style in the knitwear and accessories to match.

Drawn from the A/W 2023 collections shown earlier this year, consider this your headstart on your autumn and winter wardrobe – with each piece just classic enough to last for seasons to come.
