Knit jumpers for autumn? How original. But jumpers are the perfect way to stay warm and look like you’ve walked off a Pinterest board. White, cream, black and red are basics because they work. They will fulfill your Rory Gilmore dreams and ensure you don’t freeze in a field as you wait for the fireworks to start. I would recommend a baggier jumper for optimal warmth. However, if your coat is more fitted then a less bulky jumper would be ideal, so you won’t be uncomfortable.
I will also recommend that you layer a long sleeve underneath just in case because there’s nothing worse than the wind getting you through the gaps in a knitted jumper. If you want to go for a trendier look rather than classic, an off-the-shoulder jumper is the way to go, either a more slouchy piece with one shoulder out or the Regina George-esque entirely off-shoulder look.
"You will ruin those poor Uggs, don't do it to yourself."
Now for footwear, you are going to think that Uggs are a good idea, they are not. That field will get muddy from so many people walking on it and it will probably have rained. You will ruin those poor Uggs, don't do it to yourself. I would say to opt for Doc Martens or a pair of trainers that you don’t particularly care about, even wellies have become a fashion trend that is both somehow chic and ideal for the season.
Baggy jeans are almost always and outfit staple and I think that sacrificing them to the mud is acceptable in this case. If you want a warmer alternative, a pair of fleece-lined leggings will keep you toasty throughout the night. Tights and a skirt are also a good combo but I would definitely go for the thickest tights you own.
As for accessories, scarves are a must, the bigger the better in my opinion. A woolly hat is always fun and you will be thankful for it and of course, gloves! I always forget them but I am so thankful when I don't, I'd definitely say they are the most crucial item for Bonfire Night.
