Look 1: Animal Instinct
Whole outfit from Superdry
Red and black 'Chunky Knit' jumper - £64.99
New York loom denim shirt - £54.99
Camouflage parka with fur hood trim - £134.99
Distressed brown leather boot - £89.99
Black and orange weekend bag - £44.99
Total cost: £389.95
Team with dark or distressed jeans or chinos to complete the look, dark jeans will make the oranges and other colours appear more vibrant against the autumnal greens and reds. Lets be honest, we don't all have £389.95 in the piggy bank, this look can be achieved for a much lower price and wont be too harsh on the bank! Burton and River Island have some really great autumn wear, chunky knits, denim shirts and beanies.
Look 2: The Modern Countryfolk
(Focus on men's outfits only)Outfit 1 (Left)
Tommy Hilfiger pale blue shirt - £75Diesel Burgundy jeans - £130
Team with a herringbone style jacket and a casual Brogue or Derby shoe.
Tommy Hilfiger's Autumn 2013 range is really great if you want to achieve a high end preppy look, with high end comes a higher price. I've found some great dupes for this outfit that are at great high-street prices. To check out an item, click the link next to them.
Skinny fit chino in 'port' colour £20.00 Burton
Light blue Oxford shirt £25.00 River Island
Leather Derby shoe £31.50 (sale price) Asos
Add a herringbone style jacket or blazer to finish the look, customise it up with collar tips - I personally think Topman have the best collection of tips on the highstreet.
Outfit 2 (right)
Ted Baker tweed jacket - £340
Ted Baker repeat pattern shirt - £85

Barbour tartan scarf - £39.95
This autumn, earthy colours are really popular - team these with a tartan scarf or plaid shirt to give the outfit a hint of colour. The brands in outfit 2 are really high quality and together create a great strong autumnal look, fitting for many different occasions. Below are some high street alternatives that'll help you create this look, at a wallet-friendly price.

My top autumn picks:
This autumn I am all about knits. Bobble hats and jumpers are great for those blowy days when it isn't quite coat weather. My head warming shop of choice is River Island, they have a great choice of men's bobbles and beanies, I've just bought myself the Grey Contrast bobble hat from RI, which you will in no doubt see in many a post, its my first hat of the year and I love the mustard contract against the navy and grey.
In a former life I may have actually been American, college style jumpers and varsity jackets line my wardrobe currently, Topman have a great selection of varsity jackets, along with Asos. I tend to wear them with a plain rolled-sleeve t-shirt underneath and a pair of sneakers for a casual look.
I think the Autumn Fashion Fix showcased some really great looks, I think its a great way for shops to show off their seasonal stock and show how different brands can be worn together to create great looks. I would have liked to have seen some lower priced items on show, these looks can be created just as easily using non-designer brands and they're still great quality.
