Jenny from Stripes' buying team explains why she chose these cosy key pieces for AW10, "See by Chloe’s chunky knit is a great transitional piece to wear as outerwear throughout Autumn - it looks fabulous with slim leg jeans and brown boots! The Alice by Temperley leather jacket nips in at the waist to give you a fabulous shape and with shoulder detailing another big trend for this season, the sequins on Malene Birger’s Thiamo jumper dress give it a cool fashion edge!"
