As we enter into autumn, days get shorter and the temperate drops, layering is essential. Poppy’s selection focuses on natural fabrics including silk, wool and viscose that are perfect for simple layering. The versatile pieces in this edit can be styled multiple ways from everyday dressing to evening drinks.

Our Austin Trouser is the epitome of classic style and comfort. Crafted from our newest fabrication; silk wool, this material blends the luxe qualities of silk with the weight and warmth of wool- a perfect autumn fabric. The silhouette is an elevated take on a classic silk pyjama trouser, featuring a slim elasticated waist, this versatile trouser can be styled from day to night. Pair with a classic tee for an effortless daytime look or elevate with the matching Rylie shirt and gold jewellery for an evening edit.

The London Shirt is another key piece from Poppy’s autumn edit. Crafted from sustainable fabrics, the silk, viscose or wool cashmere shirt are perfect options for the new season.

Silk: The Epitome of Effortless Elegance

Silk is a core fabric at Asceno. Known for its unparalleled softness and drape, silk has long been associated with elegance and sophistication. Our silk pieces, whether it’s a tailored shirt, a relaxed dress, or a classic pair of trousers, are designed to provide effortless style in every season. Silk is a naturally breathable fabric, making it perfect for warmer autumn days when you want to stay cool and comfortable. And when the temperature drops, silk adds a luxurious layer under knits or coats.

For days at work, a silk shirt paired with tailored trousers offers a refined, professional look. For weekends or casual outings, our silk dresses and skirts provide a chic yet relaxed option that will keep you looking polished with minimal effort. Silks versatility and timeless appeal make it a must-have for any wardrobe.

Wool: The Perfect Layering Essential

Wool is the ultimate fabric for Autumn. When the temperature drops, this comfort fabric is the perfect addition to any outfit. Poppy’s autumn essentials edit includes a range of wool shirts that can be layered over lighter pieces for a polished look in the coming seasons. Wool is naturally insulating, making it the ideal choice for the crisp mornings and evenings.
Pieces from our wool cashmere collection, offer a soft, feminine addition to your outfit; form the relaxed Aurelia trouser to the elevated Berlin shirt. Whether you’re dressing for a day at work or a casual weekend, these pieces provide comfort and warmth with the ability to layer easily without compromising on style.

Viscose: A Sustainable, Lightweight Option

In addition to silk and wool, viscose is another key fabric in Poppy’s autumn wardrobe essentials. Viscose is a versatile and sustainable fabric that drapes beautifully and feels incredibly lightweight on the skin. This makes it perfect for layering, ensuring that you stay comfortable yet put-together. Our viscose pieces offer a refined yet effortless look that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Viscose also has excellent breathability, allowing you to stay cool when the sun is out, while still being warm enough to layer when needed. The combination of comfort, sustainability, and style is what makes viscose a go-to fabric for this season.
