Looking for Vanessa Wu outfit ideas for the colder months? Pieces from the premium French brand from Paris have texture and details that are easy to recognise, so a single one is enough to transform an everyday outfit. Below are six autumn combinations with Maggie trainers, Vanessa Wu bags and accessories from the EVoStyle selection, plus what to wear with them.
The basic rule: one statement piece, the rest neutral
The Vanessa Wu pieces in our selection have textures that stand out: pony-effect leather, suede, bouclé, corduroy or the lightning bolt on the trainers. Choose one to catch the eye and keep the rest of your outfit in neutral tones: denim, black, grey, cream or camel.
The colours of the autumn collection (camel, taupe, chocolate, burgundy, khaki and black) combine easily with one another. You can wear the bag, trainers and cap together without searching for a perfect match.
1. Autumn neutral: Nina Taupe and Maggie Originals Taupe
Start with straight-leg jeans, a chunky jumper and a camel coat. On your feet, Maggie Originals Taupe trainers, and on your shoulder the Nina Taupe bag, in suede.
The taupe shade of the shoes and the bag links the denim and the coat, and the outfit stays calm. A small tip: wear the bag over your coat, so the suede doesn’t rub against light-coloured clothes. If you want more character, swap the bag for Nina Camel, with its deer print, which picks up the colour of the coat.
2. Black with a touch of burgundy
A simple outfit in black: straight trousers, a white shirt or a black jumper. Here the statement comes from Maggie Puzzle Burgundy trainers, with powder-pink inserts that instantly catch the eye.
So the bag doesn’t compete with the shoes, choose Mini Altai Black, in suede. Carry it by hand during the day and on the shoulder in the evening, on its shoulder strap.
3. Textures for the weekend
For a relaxed day: wide-leg jeans, a grey hoodie, the Mini Louie Beige bag worn crossbody and the Sia Dark Green cap, in corduroy.
The soft bouclé of the bag and the corduroy of the cap bring texture to a comfortable outfit. Dark green goes with beige and grey without being too much, and with a crossbody bag your hands stay free.
4. Cold day, warm look
A knitted dress, thick tights and Maggie Originals Taupe trainers: the combination looks feminine but stays practical for a whole day on the go. With it, the Laure M Khaki bag, in corduroy, has room for everything you need on a busy day.
When it turns colder, add the Sia Black cap, in shearling-style faux fur, with the VW monogram.
5. Animal print on a simple base
Animal print looks best when it’s the only one in the outfit. Choose a printed bag, Mini Louie Leopard or Mini Altai Cow Print, and keep the rest plain: denim or all black and a simple coat.
On your feet, Maggie Originals Taupe are the safe choice, because they don’t compete with the bag.
6. Socks on show
A midi skirt or cropped trousers above the ankle leave your socks on show, so they can become part of the outfit. With Maggie trainers, try the Ambre knee-high socks with an embroidered monogram: Ambre Black with gold threads or Ambre Violet with silver threads.
The shimmering threads catch the light with every step and tie the outfit to the gold or silver accents of the bag.

Vanessa Wu outfit FAQs
What goes with Maggie Puzzle Burgundy trainers?
Simple clothes in black, grey or cream, so the burgundy accent stays at the centre of the outfit. They also work well with dark denim.

Yes. The creeper sole makes a lovely contrast with a knitted dress or a midi skirt. Add Ambre knee-high socks if you want a detail on show.
How do I wear an animal-print bag?
Let it be the only printed piece in the outfit and keep the rest of your clothes plain, in black or denim.

Mini Louie Beige, worn crossbody, or Mini Altai, on its shoulder strap. Both leave your hands free and go with jeans and a hoodie.
