How to Dress for Autumn: Our Outfit Ideas
Autumn is the perfect season to play with fabrics, colours and layering. As the days grow cooler, silhouettes evolve and wardrobe essentials take on a fresh look through different combinations.
A Breton top paired with jeans and warm tones, or a jacket coordinated with trousers in natural shades: just a few well-chosen pieces are enough to create an autumn outfit full of character.
At Mat de Misaine, maritime style continues to inspire our collections throughout the seasons. Discover two autumn outfit ideas for women and men, along with our tips on how to combine clothing and colours for the season.
Women’s Autumn Outfit: Breton Stripes, Denim and Warm Colours
An iconic piece of the maritime wardrobe, the Breton top is not just for warmer days. In autumn, it pairs naturally with cosier fabrics and seasonal colours.
For this first look, we pair an ecru Breton top with dark stripes with wide-leg blue denim jeans. A combination that balances the timeless appeal of stripes with the relaxed feel of denim.
A sleeveless waistcoat in rust tones completes the outfit, adding a touch of warmth and colour.
How to Wear a Breton Top in Autumn
Pairing a Breton top with jeans provides an easy foundation for creating different looks.
The contrast between stripes and denim adds character to the silhouette, while the sleeveless waistcoat introduces an extra layer without completely covering the Breton top.

Embrace Matching Outfits in Autumn

How to Combine Autumn Colours
Colour plays an essential role in putting together an outfit.
Autumn is the perfect season to explore nature-inspired combinations while continuing to embrace timeless wardrobe colours.
Blue Denim and Rust Tones
Blue and rust create an interesting contrast.
Denim provides a rich base, while rust tones bring warmth to the overall look. A touch of ecru helps create a smooth transition between these colours.
This combination works particularly well with a Breton top, jeans and coordinating accessories.
Beige, Ecru and Shades of Brown
Natural tones make it easy to create harmonious outfits.
Beige and ecru bring brightness, while shades of brown add greater depth.
Combining several similar tones creates a cohesive look while allowing you to play with different fabrics and textures.
Play with Fabrics to Add Texture
Beyond colour, fabrics also contribute to the balance of an outfit.
Denim contrasts with knitwear, corduroy pairs naturally with lighter shirts, and accessories introduce additional texture.
It is often this combination of colours and fabrics that gives an autumn outfit its distinctive character.
Layering: An Essential Part of Transitional Dressing
As temperatures change throughout the day, layering makes it easy to adapt your outfit.
A Breton top can be paired with a sleeveless waistcoat, then layered with a jacket when the weather turns cooler.
A shirt can also be worn under a jacket or complemented with knitwear.
The key is to choose pieces that work together, both in terms of colour and proportion.

An Autumn Inspired by the Atlantic
At Mat de Misaine, the seasons change, but the Atlantic remains a constant source of inspiration.
Nautical stripes, shades of blue, textured fabrics and natural colours come together in a wardrobe that evolves with the seasons.
In autumn, these inspirations take on a new dimension through layering and combinations of different fabrics.
Whether it is a Breton top paired with jeans or a coordinated outfit in natural tones, each silhouette offers an opportunity to express your personal style.
This autumn, embrace colour combinations, contrasting textures and silhouettes inspired by the seaside.
