Rainy London: An Autumn Outfit with a Little Colour

A rainy day in London calls for an outfit that feels practical without losing its personality. This look starts with a red plaid jacket and a washed black denim skirt, then adds a crisp white shirt, knee-high boots and a navy umbrella. The blue picks up a subtle colour in the plaid; a red lipstick brings the look together.

Shop by Amazon UK:

Explore the ten pieces below to recreate the outfit.

1. The plaid jacket

The cropped shape gives the long denim skirt definition, while the red and navy checks bring warmth to a grey day. Shop the Binshre plaid shacket.

2. The washed black denim skirt

A midi length balances the short jacket and works beautifully with tall boots. Washed black keeps the outfit relaxed. Shop the ONLY denim midi skirt.

3. The white shirt

A clean white collar brightens the plaid and gives the outfit a polished base. Let the collar and cuffs peek out beneath the jacket. Shop the J.VER shirt.

4. The knee-high boots

Black boots carry the darker tones through the outfit and sit neatly beneath the midi hem. Shop the DREAM PAIRS boots.

5. The ruched black bag

The soft, gathered shape adds a little texture alongside the structured jacket and denim. Shop the JW PEI Gabbi bag.

6. The navy umbrella

Our little colour detail: navy echoes the blue in the plaid without adding more red to the look. Shop the FDJASGY folding umbrella.

7. The gold earrings

Sculptural gold earrings bring a warm touch near the face. Shop the Adramata earrings.

8. The delicate necklace

A fine gold necklace adds detail at the open shirt collar while keeping the look light. Shop the Aobei Pearl necklace.

9. The black belt

A slim belt defines the waist when the jacket is worn open; its gold buckle connects with the jewellery. Shop the black belt.

10. The red lipstick

The finishing touch picks up the jacket’s red and adds a little brightness to a rainy afternoon. Shop Rimmel River-Ting Red lipstick.
