October brings autumn in full colour – but also a significant drizzle of drab, rainy days. As the season slowly turns, prepare to layer up and invest in good-quality wool pieces that will get you through the colder seasons.

Asket’s Loose Jeans are cut from heritage Japanese raw denim, where the cotton fibres are ring spun for a naturally uneven surface, and for wear and tear. Regardless of the season, you’ll always need a good pair of jeans, and these will get you through all of them!

Ilse Jacobsen grew up by the coastal town of Hornbæk, where she watched locals take on the ever-changing weather. Against the crashing waves and crisp air, her brand was born with the aim to blend practicality with fashion. Indeed, these high wellingtons are not only perfect to protect your feet from the lashing rain, they also look incredible. The golden metal buckle detail and monochrome look add a sense of elegance that rainwear often lacks. Whether you choose to pair with a fun, colourful raincoat or a sleeker trench, these boots will be the envy of the town. Long rainboots in Army Army, EUR 80
