We all know the feeling: it's September in the Netherlands. The sun is shining invitingly, but an hour later you're caught in a sudden downpour or a chilly wind. One moment it feels like summer, the next it feels like winter is approaching. It's precisely during this transitional period – September and October – that clothing becomes clearer: it's about preparation, comfort, and style all rolled into one.
The unpredictable autumn weather: sun, rain and everything in between
The Dutch autumn is a unique experience. You can start the day with a light sweater and end it wanting a warm coat. Or vice versa. This constant change demands flexibility in your wardrobe choices – and smart layering.
At Cotton Island, we understand this dynamic. Our fall collection has been carefully curated with materials and designs that suit the unpredictable weather, without compromising on style.
Layers are key – but with flair
Layering sounds simple, but it's an art to do it without looking lost on a hike. Think a lightweight blouse in breathable fabric, paired with a soft knit cardigan or an oversized blazer. Our fall collection offers countless combinations of natural materials like cotton and wool blends that keep you warm and allow you to breathe.
A good tip: choose neutral base shades like sand, cream, or dark green, and add an accent color with a scarf, hat, or bag. This way, you stay flexible yet stylish.
Must-haves for your fall wardrobe
What's an absolute must-have for your wardrobe this fall? Here are our top 5:
- Oversized sweater made of organic cotton – soft, warm and perfect to combine with everything.
- Mid-length trench coat or jacket with lining – protects you from rain and wind.
- Layered blouse or tunic – airy enough for a warm day, can be combined with a cardigan for cooler moments.
- Comfortable stretch trousers – stylish and practical for unpredictable temperatures.
- Meaningful accessories – a wool scarf, a hat made from recycled materials, or a sturdy canvas bag.
