Autumn/winter is officially back at American Vintage. With it comes a retro-style wardrobe and, as always, impeccably mastered materials. Here’s a list of our 10 essential pieces this season.

#1: The iridescent padded jacket
A galactic-coloured padded jacket sets the tone of the new season. Its purpose? To protect you from the cold, no matter what, thanks to its wonderfully retro quilted effect.
#2: Overdyed denim
AMV denim gets overdyed this season for a throwback to the 80s grunge movement. For example, pink 100% cotton canvas to pair with one or more white tees – the Marseille brand signature.
#3: The neon alpaca cardigan
Neon pink makes a splash in the women’s wardrobe to brighten up the season. Perfect in a wool-alpaca blend for a soft, warm cardigan that will soon be your favourite piece of clothing.
#4: The shearling polar fleece jacket
A winter without polar fleece? Never! At American Vintage, our napped polar fleece – a bestseller year in and year out – makes a comeback this autumn-winter. In your closet, electric orange will stand out between ecru and charcoal grey tones.
#5: The lightweight knit dress
This piece is a statement in itself. Elegant, soft and available in a palette of natural shades, it can be worn all season long. Its mid-calf length will keep you warm as the days grow shorter.
#6: The kids’ cotton tee
For several seasons now, our soft materials and comfortable cuts have been available for the whole family. This autumn-winter, colourful 100% cotton tees join the cool kids’ wardrobe.
#7: The wool cardigan
A must in every woman’s closet, the wool cardigan now joins the men’s and kids’ wardrobes too. We love its ribbed appearance and its cut, both casual and timeless.
#8: The graphic tee
This season, kids’ tees have fun with clever drawings and logos. The retro influence, dear to American Vintage, will delight the little ones as well.
#9: The printed polo neck tee
For the first time, the iconic long-sleeve tee with its mock polo neck comes in a printed version. An essential to wear under a jumper, dungarees, a shirt, a jacket – and basically all American Vintage pieces.
#10: The corduroy shirt
Reinterpreted each season, corduroy is an indispensable autumn-winter piece. This time, the timeless colours are joined by pastel and neon shades.
