Fall is all about versatility, and the second I find something that works, I grab it in every shade. With a smaller frame, it’s hard to find sweaters and pants that don’t totally swallow me up, so when I hit the jackpot, I don’t hold back. Here’s my breakdown of all the must-have fall staples you need on repeat:
Sweaters & Tops
• Gap Sweaters: 100% cotton, these are the ultimate fall classic. I snag one in every color because they go with everything. Trust me, they’re a no-brainer.
• Quince Button-Down Cardigan: Another layering piece I can’t live without. It’s simple but chic, perfect for tossing over anything.
Jenni Kayne Sweater: I go for an oversized look and always order L or XL, but it's the chef's kiss of sweaters
Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren Men's: Another 100% cotton and it's a classic that will never go out of style. I have one of these in every color I can find on eBay.
• Skims White Tee: You NEED a perfect white tee for layering, and this one is ideal. It peeks out under sweaters or cardigans, giving you that effortless, elevated look. Plus, it helps preserve the life of your knits.
Pants & Bottoms
• Navy & Brown Corduroy Pants: Corduroy is a total fall texture. I pair navy for a cool, crisp look or brown for a warmer, seasonal feel. These are so versatile and give the whole outfit that autumn vibe.
• Linen Pants for Transitioning: It’s still warm in the afternoons, so I love my linen pants for that transitional weather. They’re breathable but still look polished.
• Abercrombie Slacks: Obsessed. They fit perfectly and look so put-together. I’ve got them in black, but the brown is next on my list. These are your go-to pants for any situation—work, errands, date night—super versatile.
Accessories & Shoes
• Vintage Ralph Lauren Belt: I’m always browsing Poshmark and eBay for these. You can find so many affordable, chic options, and it totally pulls an outfit together.
• Ugg Tazz Slippers: I still love these for fall. They’re timeless, and sliding them on for school pickups is literally effortless. Pair them with slacks or leggings and you’re set.
• Black Tall Rain Boots: The unsung hero of fall footwear. Cold? Muddy? Snowy? These boots handle it all. Plus, they’re sleek and match every outfit.
Bags
• Louis Vuitton Speedy: My ride-or-die fall bag. It’s the perfect size for holding extra mittens for the kids and whatever else you need for those busy days. Classic, timeless, and functional.
• Amazon Brown Tote: When I need more space, this tote is it. It’s bigger, slouchy, and effortlessly cute. Perfect for longer trips or those days when you need to carry everything.
The best part about fall? You don’t have to reinvent your wardrobe every year. Once you’ve got your staple pieces in place, just mix and match for an endless array of outfits. It’s all about building a capsule that works for you.
