Borrow from the boys! Louise Redknapp reveals the tailored autumn pieces every woman must have... and how we should take inspiration from MEN'S wardrobes
- Louise Redknapp is looking to men's tailoring for her autumnal wardrobe
- She has been influenced by designers like Stella McCartney and Lanvin
- Reveals what to pair a suit with and why you don't have to stick to black
Here at A Style Album, we are torn between the relaxed style of summer and the new season pieces hitting every fashion site (and our inboxes!) with tempting looks from Fall 15.
After spending the last few weeks in the sun, we are both looking forward to digging out our winter wardrobes and making some new purchases from the new collections.
Pieces that have caught our eye so far seem to fall into the tailoring bracket, well-cut blazers, trousers, matching separates and blouses that can be worn under suiting.
Back from her summer holidays, Louise Redknapp is preparing to settle into autumn wear and says tailored trousers and suit jackets are key this season
Tailoring is a timeless look that we love. Most of us have the core pieces in our wardrobes to create the style - be it a blazer, cropped trousers or a shirt. It's an easy, stylish look, and you can mix-and-match pieces for the best pairing and create a borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic.
Don't save tailoring just for the office - it can be an incredibly chic everyday look. Try swapping your jeans for a tailored trouser and wear with a sandal and blouse.
A well-cut men's inspired suit is also a fresh take on evening-wear. Many celebrities have walked the red carpet in a tailored suit, because it's a timeless look that can be updated with colour, cut and fabric.
For a relaxed yet stylish approach to autumnal dressing Louise is looking to men's tailoring for inspiration
Good tailoring never goes out of fashion and it's a trend designers often include in their collections. Saint Laurent - adding a rock 'n' roll vibe to the class suit - and Queen Of Women's Suiting Stella McCartney - taking inspiration from the boys with oversized mannish pieces - are known to be fans.
We also love Lanvin's Pre Collection campaign. This is exactly how we want to do off-duty tailoring come autumn/winter - classic suiting teamed with a white tee and sneakers is a look we'll always love.
Opt for a trouser leg to suit your body shape, be it cropped, wide leg, slouchy or the classic silhouette.

The pair emphasise the importance of a trouser leg to suit your body shape, be it cropped, wide leg, slouchy or the classic silhouette
And don't just stick to greys and blacks either, a pop of colour really works to keep the look fresh.
Pussy bow blouses are big for next season and are a great separate to add in to soften a tailored outfit and give it a girly twist, playing on the masculine/feminine vibe. Team a sheer blouse with a bow with a classic tux for a Seventies vibe.
Lightweight blouses, bright coloured trousers and matching separates are great addition to your wardrobe to see you through summer when you become tired of your maxi dress and will take you into autumn/winter with style.
