Helen Skelton just proved that autumn style can be both cosy and irresistibly chic. And yes, she’s doing it in a way that might make you rethink your own seasonal wardrobe. But here’s where it gets interesting – she’s not just serving looks, she’s serving personality with every outfit.
As the trees trade their green for gold, the former Strictly Come Dancing star is clearly embracing the shift in seasons. Her latest Instagram post gave fans a peek into her autumn fashion game – and denim is clearly taking centre stage. In one standout shot, Helen rocks a pair of perfectly fitted, light-wash jeans that hug in all the right places. She teamed them with a sleek black cropped waistcoat and a soft, grey knitted cardigan – the kind of layering that says, I’m warm, but I’m still here to turn heads.
Her caption was a playful nod to the realities of dressing for cooler days:
"Knitwear season… You know your age when going out involves a cardigan. You know the temperature’s dropped when you swap your vest for a knitted one. You know you’re time-pressed when a shirt is just a collar. You know you hate ironing when jumper dresses are your go-to. And you know you love a top when you wear it with EVERYTHING."
She tagged her favourite brands – from @busbyandfox to @marksandspencer – giving credit where it’s due, and making it clear she’s mixing high street staples with statement pieces.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with praise. One admirer called her “effortlessly beautiful,” while another poetically compared her to “a sunflower on a great day.” A third summed it up perfectly: “No matter how you dress, that lovely smile always shines through.”
But here’s the part most people miss: Helen’s style isn’t just about clothes – it’s about the life she’s living in them. Away from the camera, she’s a hands-on mum to three children, whom she shares with ex-husband Richie Myler. Her youngest, Elsie, is a mini-me in every sense – something fans noticed in a recent family outing post.
In a series of Instagram clips, the Countryfile presenter shared moments of the family exploring the Cumbrian countryside – splashing in streams, wandering through fields, and even walking among cows. In one heart-melting shot, Helen carried three-year-old Elsie on her shoulders, the resemblance between them almost uncanny.
So here’s the question: Is Helen Skelton’s autumn style proof that comfort and glamour can truly coexist, or is she just one of those rare people who can make anything look good? And more importantly – cardigan season: love it or loathe it? Let’s hear it in the comments.
