An Autumn Refresh with Aimee Tarulli
As the leaves start to turn and the air grows cooler, it's time to refresh your wardrobe and your home for the Autumn/Winter months. We sat down with award-winning interior stylist Aimee Tarulli to discuss her favourite trends for both fashion and homewares, in partnership with Australian-owned Aura Home. From capsule wardrobes to luxe loungewear, Aimee's insights are the perfect inspiration for updating your style this season.
A Capsule Wardrobe for Autumn/Winter
“Coming into the cooler Autumn/Winter months, a key capsule wardrobe is everything. I’m looking for beautiful soft tailoring, statement pieces to take me from the kid’s drop-off through to work meetings, and off to dinner. I absolutely love the soft Merino Wool from Cable, as well as beautiful tailoring. There is nothing more stylish than a stunning white shirt. I always look for a shirt with an interesting detail - either a lovely sleeve or a detail at the side. When I’m buying a white shirt, I’m looking for something that gives me a little bit of an edge. The Jamie Shirt from Cable is one of my absolute favourites. Pair with a beautiful soft tailored pant and you are always going to be looking chic.”
For Aimee, the key to a great Autumn/Winter wardrobe lies in versatile pieces that are easy to mix and match.
"Having key pieces in my wardrobe that I can mix and match on a daily basis means that I never have to think about what I have to wear. I’m never stuck for an amazing outfit option, and I’m always looking put together and chic."
The Power of Neutrals and Pops of Colour
As an interior stylist, Aimee is no stranger to the power of a well-curated colour palette.
“For the autumn winter months I’m looking for beautiful neutrals with pops of colours, soft tailoring, and key pieces that allow me to mix and match my wardrobe and never be lost for an outfit.”
Whether it’s a warm beige sweater or a rich jewel-toned accessory, Aimee’s style philosophy blends timeless neutrals with just enough colour to keep things fresh.
Building a Timeless Capsule Wardrobe
When it comes to curating your perfect capsule wardrobe, Aimee’s advice is simple:
“The key to curating your perfect capsule wardrobe is to start with a beautiful set of core basics. My philosophy is ‘buy once and buy well’; skip the fast fashion and invest in a beautiful neutral tone and core pieces that will take you through the season.”
Aimee has shared some of her favourite pieces from Cable that epitomise her philosophy of quality over quantity. Here are a few key pieces to consider for the upcoming season:
· The Evans Coat: A soft, belted wool coat is a must-have for Autumn/Winter. Aimee loves throwing hers over activewear, but it also pairs beautifully with denim or soft tailoring.

· The Alix Jacket: A statement jacket, like the Alix Jacket in a gorgeous tweed style, is a versatile piece that can take you from casual weekends to more sophisticated office looks.

Luxe Loungewear for Busy Days
As a busy working mum, Aimee knows the importance of finding elevated basics that can seamlessly transition from casual to chic.
“Cable has taken luxe loungewear to a whole new level. As a busy working mum, I look for elevated basics that can take me from the school drop-off to work in an instant.”
· The Cashmere Singlet: A beautiful base layer, like this Cashmere singlet, is perfect for layering under a blazer or wearing with loungewear for an easy but stylish look.
· The Amsterdam Tracksuit: Aimee’s favourite piece for winter is this elevated tracksuit. The buttery-soft Modal fabric makes it perfect for layering up, and the chic design ensures you’ll look put together whether you’re running errands or heading to a meeting.

· Elevated Track Pants: For those days when comfort is key but style can’t be compromised, a pair of elevated track pants will do the trick. Team them with a logo cap for an effortlessly stylish look.
