How to Elevate Your Autumn Wardrobe | Easy Styling Ideas

Autumn dressing doesn’t have to mean a whole new wardrobe. Sometimes, one new piece is all it takes to give your favourite outfits a fresh feel. 

 

This season, we’re loving two easy ways to update your wardrobe: a great blouse and a triangle scarf. From bold prints and soft checks to colourful scarves made for layering, these are the pieces that can instantly add something extra to your everyday autumn outfits.

 

Add a triangle scarf 

Triangle scarves have been a firm favourite since last season, and they’re back as a wardrobe staple for AW26. Worn around the neck, draped over your shoulders or styled loosely over a shirt, they’re an easy way to add colour, print and personality to your everyday autumn outfits.

We’re also excited to introduce Second Stories, a new label at The Store. This Scottish-based, small-batch brand creates thoughtful pieces designed to last, including its collection of Made in Scotland accessories. Their colourful triangle scarves are an easy way to give your favourite blouse or shirt a fresh feel. 

 

You’ll also find new pieces from The Tiny Big Sister, a label that’s primarily available online, now available to discover in store and online at Restoration Yard. From playful bandanas to statement shirts, these are pieces worth seeing in person – giving you the chance to try them on, experiment with how they fit into your existing wardrobe and find a piece that feels just right. 

 

And the best part? We’re just 20 minutes from Edinburgh, so why not pop in and discover our latest arrivals for yourself?

How to style a triangle scarf?

For a simple pop of colour, pair the Orfeo blouse with the Second Stories tri scarf in Poppy Red. It’s an easy way to give a classic blouse a fresh autumn update.

 Let the details do the work 

If styling a scarf yourself isn’t your thing, look for pieces where the detail is already built in. This season, we have several new-in styles that make adding interest to your outfit almost effortless. 

 

The FRNCH chemise blouse, Soaked checked blouse and The Tiny Big Sister denim shirt all feature scarf-inspired details, giving you the look without the extra styling.

One piece, a whole new outfit

The easiest way to refresh your autumn wardrobe? Look at what you already own and think about the one piece that could change it.  A colourful scarf can transform a simple blouse. A printed blouse can make your favourite jeans feel different. And a shirt with an unexpected detail can do the styling for you.  It’s proof that you don’t always need more clothes - sometimes you just need a new way to wear them.
