Mastering Autumn Style: The Art of Layering for a Versatile Wardrobe

Autumn is just around the corner, and with it comes the opportunity to not only embrace the comforts of layered style but also perfect your wardrobe. Get ahead of the curve and invest in the next season by mastering the Art of Layering. It's a style strategy that not only keeps you comfortable and prepared for the unpredictable shifts in weather but also allows you to curate outfits that seamlessly blend with the evolving autumnal conditions.

In this guide, we're breaking down layering – where style meets functionality. From pairing textures and hues to creating outfits that effortlessly transition from warm afternoons to chilly evenings.

Our timeless Boxer T-shirt: a nod to the classic 1950s cut with a touch of vintage charm. Crafted with care, this piece boasts a beautifully worn-in feel, all thanks to our vintage wash process. It's a cornerstone for your layered style throughout the year. A versatile essential that seamlessly slips under shirts, jumpers, jackets, and cardigans, adapting to your outfit of the day.

Available in white, navy, or black, its neutral palette ensures it pairs with a variety of denim jeans, chinos, or trousers. Beyond the aesthetics, it's a piece that echoes our ethical values, made with 100% organic cotton with a supply chain that upholds the highest environmental standards. It’s the perfect seasonal staple that not only completes your look but also carries the legacy of responsible craftsmanship – a fitting addition to a Pioneers wardrobe.

Our new Eiger Shirt is the first of our Mountain Range collection to drop this year. Crafted from hard-wearing, 100% cotton with cord trims, it carries the legacy of our classic cord Sunday Shirt. The earthy rust check, inspired by the hues of natural rock formations is contrasted by our tan cord details for added durability. This is a statement piece and the perfect garment to build your layered style around.

The earth tones make it incredibly versatile and easy to layer which makes getting dressed in the mornings even easier. We recommend wearing it over an Essentials Vest or on the colder days to come, a raw Henley top. Roll up your sleeves and wear the Eiger open on sunnier afternoons or button up and throw on the FLAK Gilet for extra warmth if needed. Pair with your favourite denim and boots, and accessorise with a warm watch cap hat. 

The Brandon denim collection is a huge pioneer favourite and this new colourway is a perfect addition to any wardrobe. With classic 5-pocket styling and the '&' stamp-printed pocket, these jeans exude a sense of timeless style. The ISKO fabric is constructed with a slight stretch, ensuring a soft and comfortable fit that moves with you throughout the day. The Tan hue is made to fade with wash and wear, evolving with you and making them look better the more you wear them. Pair with our iconic raw Henley and layer up with the Green Carver or Surplus Army Jacket depending on the conditions.

We recommend a leather belt to compliment the tone of the jeans, boots and even a burnt orange scarf if you really want to make a statement. Layering like this is a practical style approach that equips you with the ability to build multiple outfits from your wardrobe. This versatility isn't just about adapting to the weather; it's about creating an array of looks that can easily accommodate a casual coffee meet-up or an evening out without the need for a complete outfit change.
