11 pieces we're buying in the ME + EM sale to start our autumn wardrobe – with up to 50% off

Stripes are still big for A/W 25 (let's face it, when are they not?) and burgundy is always a strong autumn colour, so we'll be grabbing this cashmere top while we can. It's great for layering over shirts and under blazers.

ME + EM dresses look quite different to anything else you'll find on the high street, with gorgeous prints, bold colours and unique details like the ruched arms on this fit and flare dress.

While it's perfect for summer right now, add a black blazer, gold jewellery and heels and suddenly you're ready for an autumn evening out.

Heritage tweed and great tailoring never goes out of style, so it's no surprise it will be on our wish lists for autumn. This isn't cheap but it will be one you bring out year after year. It's very Traitors-core, too.

Another wardrobe classic, this is a great piece for layering under knitted vests or your favourite Uniqlo cashmere. We like that it's slightly shorter in the front so you can tuck it in. One you can wear now and later up later.

Lace and neon are both set to be big for autumn, so this pretty lace, lined shirt is really hitting the brief. We'd wear under a dark suit or be brave and go completely tonal. It's also available in sky blue if you prefer.

It feels like the striped trouser is the new Breton tee. We can't stop buying them and they're effortlessly wearable. The inverted front pleats on these trousers make them hang beautifully, they're available in two lengths and we'll be wearing ours with a chunky navy jumper, trench coat and brown loafers come September.

This peachy tailored tweed jacket taps into next season's ladylike trend and could be layered up over long-sleeve tops and under coats.

This beautiful ivory blouse is a great piece for styling under jumpers and jackets with the high lace collar and cuffs peeking out. It would look lovely under your favourite chunky knit or a velvet blazer for evening.

These gold ballet pumps will take you skipping into party season. The flat toes are what makes them feel fresh for 2025 and the soft Italian leather should mean they won't have you wincing on the dance floor.

Classic navy trousers are always in style, and we like this tailored twist on tracksuit pants for the office. Style with equally classic camel, a nice complement to the bold orange stripe.

Brown is the new black for autumn, and we still can't get enough of knitted vests, whatever the weather, so we're jumping on this deal. Wear now with nothing underneath and add a blouse and tailored chocolate trousers for autumn.
