As the temperatures drop and cosy layers return, I couldn’t wait to refresh my wardrobe with a few timeless staples — and what better brand to turn to than Cotton Traders. I’ve collaborated with them before on Alex Jones’ previous collection, so I was thrilled to hear she’s back with a brand-new range that’s just as elegant, classic, and full of surprises.
In this Cotton Traders haul, I’m sharing three beautiful pieces from their Alex Jones and New In collections, perfect for autumn. Think soft textures, flattering fits, and warm tones that make dressing for this in-between season so effortless.
Cotton Traders Haul: My Favourite Autumn Pieces For 2025
The Alex Jones Collection: Classic Style with a Modern Touch

The collection truly lives up to its campaign message: “Full of Surprises.” These are not just beautiful pieces; they’re also incredibly comfortable, versatile, and made with quality materials that stand the test of time. You can explore the whole Alex Jones collection here or the New In section for more seasonal inspiration.
My Cotton Traders Haul: 3 Pieces I’m Loving This Season
1. Slim Flare Stretch Cord Trousers (Mocha)
Let’s start with my absolute favourite — these Slim Flare Stretch Cord Trousers. I ordered them in Mocha, which is such a beautiful, rich colour for autumn. The fabric has a subtle stretch that makes them incredibly comfortable to wear, and they fit so well while still feeling relaxed.
I love how flattering the flare cut is — it elongates the legs and pairs perfectly with ankle boots. I styled mine with a coffee-coloured base layer top (also from Cotton Traders) and a long brown cardigan from last year’s collection. For a family dinner in central London, I added a brown leather-look jacket, and the whole outfit felt polished yet easy-going.
These trousers are definitely one of those “Full of Surprises” pieces — smart enough for going out, but so comfortable you could wear them all day long.
2. Long Sleeve Crew Neck Base Layer Top (Coffee)
This Crew Neck Base Layer Top is one of those essentials that every wardrobe needs. It’s made from soft cotton, so it feels gentle on the skin and keeps you warm without weighing you down. I went for the coffee shade, which complements the mocha trousers perfectly.
What I love about this top is its versatility — it’s ideal for layering under cardigans, jumpers, or jackets. I’ve already worn it a few times, from casual lunches to running errands, and it’s become one of my go-to basics this season.
It’s simple, classic, and beautifully made — exactly what Cotton Traders does best.
3. Relaxed Fit Roll Neck Jumper (Navy)
Finally, I couldn’t resist a cosy knit — and this Relaxed Fit Roll Neck Jumper has quickly become a favourite. I chose navy this time —a timeless shade that pairs with so many outfits. The roll neck keeps you snug without feeling tight, and the relaxed fit gives it that effortlessly chic look.
I styled it with light blue and white striped wide-leg trousers for a casual daytime outfit, but it also looks lovely with jeans or cords. The material is soft, warm, and perfect for layering when the temperature drops.
It’s one of those jumpers that feels like a hug — ideal for everyday wear, coffee dates, or even a walk in the park.
Comfort, Versatility, and Everyday Style
What I adore about these three pieces is how well they look. The warm tones and soft fabrics make them easy to mix and match, whether you’re dressing up for a family outing or enjoying a relaxed weekend at home.
Cotton Traders continues to impress me with their commitment to quality, comfort, and timeless style. Every item I’ve tried from them feels made to last — and this collection is no exception.
If you’re updating your autumn wardrobe, the Alex Jones collection is definitely worth exploring. It’s filled with versatile staples that make getting dressed feel stylish but straightforward — exactly how fashion should be.
Final Thoughts
This Cotton Traders haul has reminded me why I keep coming back to the brand. The pieces are beautifully made, easy to wear, and designed to make you feel confident and comfortable — no matter the occasion.
Alex Jones’ new collection is all about those effortless touches that elevate everyday looks, and I’m already eyeing up a few more items for the colder months ahead.
