TGIF y’all! Today we’re chatting all about those must have basics you need in your closet this fall. It can be a little overwhelming when shopping for a new season. There are so many new trends & styles catching your eye, and it can be hard to determine what staples you really need to build your wardrobe around. Today I’m sharing 20 items that can serve as building blocks for your fall wardrobe. Plus, you can wear these pieces so many different ways this fall!
- Trench Coat: I’ve raved before about this trench coat, and I’ll say it again. Everyone needs this trench! It’s so comfy & versatile. I love this color navy for fall, but if navy isn’t your thing it comes in several other colors.
- A Wool Fedora: I am branching out of my hat comfort zone this season & I picked up this budget friendly neutral option. I can’t wait to wear it this fall!
- An Oversized Button Up Shirt: This is a staple in my closet every season, and I especially reach for them come spring & fall. I’ve already pulled this one out to wear this week. This one is super long, so you tall gals might love it! Madewell also makes great ones.
- Leopard Loafers: Leopard is IN this fall & my leopard lovin’ heart is SO SO glad! I love the classic style of these loafers. They’re so chic & would go with everything. Leopard is a neutral right?!
- Long Coin Pendant: You could layer this over everything from a LBD to a grey tee.
- A Stripe Sweater: I am so happy striped sweaters are everywhere this fall. The color scheme of this sweater screams fall, and you could dress it up or down!
- A Neutral Crossbody: This is a no brainer & a must have for every season. I love this dusty rose nude shade for fall! It would go with so many different things too.
- A Velvet Tank: I am so glad J. Crew brought this tank back this year. I scooped up the pink color last fall & got so much wear out of it. It is the perfect layering piece that adds a little texture to the outfit too!
- A Leopard Bow: This is totally just for fun! I couldn’t resist the leopard.
- Slouch Booties: I have’t tried this trend yet, but it is everywhere & this pair would serve as such a great staple in a closet.
- A Leather Skirt: Every gal needs one of these in their fall wardrobe, I’m dying for this mini version. I know mini skirts aren’t for everyone, & that’s okay! There are pencil & midi versions that are just as versatile.
- A Bold Cuff: This statement bracelet speaks for itself. As much as I love stacking my bracelets, I love the idea of swapping them for one bold bracelet.
- Faux Leather Leggings: Yes, yes, yes. This pair is the BEST pair I have ever tried & they’re under $100. These leggings are a must in you fall closet. You can layer all of the tees, tops, sweaters & jackets over these leggings for any & every occasion.
- Velvet Slides: Really any slides are a great basic to have in your closet this fall, I just love this velvet bow pair. They’re so easy to throw on, and they can dress up a casual outfit or dress down a dressy outfit.
- Boyfriend Jeans: I always make sure to have one go to pair of BF jeans in my closet this time of year. 1. Because they’re comfy 2. Because I love wearing them dressy or casual & 3. Because they have this effortless feel to them.
- A Chunky Open Cardigan: This is always a no brainer for my fall wardrobe checklist. I love wearing them over leggings & a tee or layering it over a dressy tank to wear with BF jeans & slides.
There are 4 other items I would include & would round out my ‘Must Have Fall Basics’: a great basic tee, a plaid scarf, a suede jacket & a simple dress.
