UK Autumn Staycation: 7-Day Packing Guide

I cannot stress enough the importance of packing lots of light layers for autumn staycations—I’ve lost count of the number of times we added and peeled off layers during the day. The temperature varies from morning to noon to night, but when you’re walking, hiking, or cycling, it’s easier to regulate your temperature with light layers. Packing chunky knits doesn’t cut the mustard, as you’ll overheat, and they are too bulky to carry.

Five navy blazers under £100

A navy blazer is a timeless classic and some women prefer navy to black as a staple item for their wardrobe. My advice would be to size up if you’d like to wear your blazer more or less all year round. I usually take a UK size 8 on top, but my blazers are size UK 10 so I can comfortably wear a sweat catcher, shirt and lightweight knit underneath in spring and autumn. When I peel off the layers in early summer, the blazer doesn’t look too oversized with a simple T-shirt underneath. All these jackets are true to size, I’ve tried them on for you! A blazer takes your outfit from casual to smart casual, so you can ditch the cardigan and elevate your style. If it’s still a bit nippy, add more layers underneath or throw over a gilet or a mac/trench coat.
