Baby blue is the unexpected dreamy colour of the season – here are the 15 pieces you can buy now from £20

Here at GH, the fashion team has been very busy exploring all the latest autumn launches (tough job, we know). But amid the familiar seasonal palette of chocolate browns, deep burgundies and mossy khakis, a surprising shade has appeared in the line-up. Enter: baby blue – an unexpected, airy hue that's set to refresh your dark and warm autumn wardrobe.

Endorsed by Chanel, Tom Ford, and Carolina Herrera, baby blue brings an unexpected softness to your usual autumn rotation, all whilst integrating beautifully with the seasonal staples we already know and love.

Naturally, the high street has followed suit, with brands like M&S and Mango already proving just how chic the shade looks when contrasted against rich brown and copper tones.

The dreamy hue is far more versatile and uplifting than you might expect. It works just as well in tailored pieces, such as Joseph’s standout wrap jacket, as it does in cosy knits (we’ll be reaching for M&S’s alpaca wool crew neck all season long). Think of it as the easiest wardrobe update you can make this season.

In our edit, we share the best baby blue treasures on the high street now, with knits, jackets, and even a couple of dresses to use as instant refreshers. From COS, you’ll find a sheer chiffon shirt that is perfect for layering: play it safe for the office with a white t-shirt underneath and a suede brown bag, or style it daringly with just a burgundy bralette for date night.

Another hero piece of our edit is & Other Stories’ wrap cardi. A versatile knit, the cardigan will transition effortlessly from day to evening with some chinos and ballerina flats.

And, if you’re in for something with real wow-factor, float into dinner parties wearing Monsoon’s boho cape dress, which, as they write, ‘expect oohs and aahs’.
