There's always a point in March when autumn decides to show up unannounced. One day you're at the beach lathering up your 50+, the next you're inexplicably pulling out your dressing gown and boiling the kettle. Like sorry, the leaves haven't even fallen yet? This all feels a bit premature?

That time is now, and your linen sundress isn't going to cut it today. So here are the 6 things we reckon you should get around for your winter wardrobe, before the temps (rudely) drop any lower.

Watch: It's scarf weather! Here's how to style one three ways. Post continues below.

1. A shacket.

When a shirt and a jacket love each other very much... Yep, this hybrid of two wardrobe staples is the effortless layering piece you didn't know you needed. Usually denim, but sometimes rendered in wool, canvas or cord, a shacket can be worn loose over dresses when it's not quite cold enough for a coat, or buttoned up over a tee and jeans when you need some extra warmth. We love this Forever New option and Decjuba's denim take.

2. A long-sleeve smock dress.

If you follow overseas fashion influencers, you might've seen gals in the UK gallivanting around this winter in floaty smock dresses worn with boots and jackets. The trend is fast making its way over to us, with pastel, gingham and linen iterations hitting the shops. Cute! We love these options from Little Party Dress, Aere and Atmos & Here.

And no, the tiered dress you wore last year isn't going away anytime soon - with longer sleeves and a more fitted waist, the 2021 version is the easiest piece you'll throw on this season.
