The beginning of this week marked a definitive turning point in the weather. Jackets were donned for the morning walk and all of a sudden, opening a window at night didn’t feel necessary. That isn’t to say it’s time to dust off the thermals and start chugging hot chocolate like you’re mountain-side in Aspen (this is Auckland after all and tomorrow could be as humid as January) but a touch of chill is a good reminder to start preparing our wardrobes for the colder days ahead. New collections for autumn/winter are offering a fresh take for the upcoming season, so stash the summer staples and replenish your lineup with some stellar new pieces from our favourite local designers.
