See all of the styled looks here.
White Tee
A white tee is a must have for any capsule wardrobe! This one from Aritzia is my absolute favorite! It's under $50, 100% cotton and the perfect fit.
Neutral Long sleeve
A good neutral long-sleeve is non-negotiable in any closet. The slim fit makes this the perfect layering piece and easy to tuck or leave untucked for maximal outfit possibilities.
Neutral Sweater
Sweaters are a great way to look polished without sacrificing comfort. Opt for crewnecks in neutral colors for ultimate versatility. These Abercrombie sweaters are super soft and under $100!
Neutral Cardigan
A button front cardigan is essential for work and weekend outfits. Wear it alone or unbuttoned and layered, and you'll never feel like you're wearing the same outfit twice!
Denim Shirt
A denim shirt is the perfect layering item for fall. Wear it with jeans for a chic denim on denim look or layer over a tee and trousers for a casual yet effortlessly cool outfit.
Leather Jacket
A leather jacket is an absolute must for fall. This one is a deep brown almost black which makes it easy to wear with nearly every color. It's a great investment piece that you'll be able to wear year after year but I've also rounded up some more affordable options that still give that cool-casual look.
Black Blazer
An oversized blazer is a closet staple that will truly never go out of style. This one is not only great for the office, but can be dressed down with jeans or layered over athletic wear for a chic weekend outfit.
Trench Coat
A trench coat is essential all year round. This one from Abercrombie has water-resistant fabric so it's perfect for rainy days! Layer this timeless coat over jeans and white tee or over your work outfit to add dimension to your look.
Midi Dress
There's nothing that says fall quite like a knit dress. This one from French Connection is under $50, so comfortable and has the most flattering silhouette! Pair it with a blazer and slingback pump for an office appropriate look or with a sweater and ballet flats on the weekend.
Dark Wash Jeans
I am a denim girl every season, but I love opting for darker washes in the fall. The deeper hues feel seasonally appropriate and add a level of sophistication to casual outfits. These straight leg fits pair well with almost every shoe option!
Black Trousers
A great pair of black trousers is essential for your fall and winter wardrobe. This pair from Aritzia is incredibly comfortable and easy to wear from work to the weekend.
Grey Trousers
Grey trousers are a great addition to your fall wardrobe. This pair from Aritzia is so effortlessly chic and perfect for wearing to the office. Pair them with a tee, sweater, and sneakers for a comfortable travel outfit too!
Mini Skirt
I am all about mini skirts in the fall! Pair them with long-sleeves, sweaters and knee high boots or layer with tight in the cooler months!
Knee High Boot
Knee high boots are a MUST for fall. Opt for a pair that has a modest heel for ultimate comfort and versatility.
Ankle Boots
These ankle boots from J. Crew are timeless and unbelievably comfortable. I've had them for years and they go with everything!
Slingback Heel
Slingback heels are a must have, especially if you're working in an office. They're great with trousers and work outfits but I love these with denim when you want a super elevated, chic look for date night too!
Ballet Flats
Ballet flats are a timeless staple. Wear them with office outfits, casual dresses, and even denim - you can't go wrong. These Dolce Vita flats are super comfortable and were actually in my spring capsule wardrobe too!
Sneakers
A simple, classic pair of sneakers are a must for fall. These are super comfortable and you can pair them with just about anything, for a cool, laid back vibe.
Suede Bag
My favorite way to incorporate seasonal trends into my wardrobe is with shoes and accessories. Add a suede bag to a classic look as a standout piece.
Black Bag
A black handbag is the perfect addition to any outfit. Opt for a carry-all tote when you're headed to the office or running errands, or try a smaller more structured bag for a night out.
Baseball Cap
A baseball cap is the perfect addition to casual looks. Whether you're running errands or traveling you can't go wrong with this effortlessly cool outfit completer.
