How to Look Effortlessly Fashion-Forward For Fall
No season feels more like a fresh start than fall. Maybe it’s all the new clothes in stores or memories of heading back to school, but suddenly you want to take a long, hard look at your closet. Before you go crazy and decide you need to buy all the latest trendy pieces, take a step back and reassess your wardrobe. The smartest upgrade comes in the form of refreshing your basics in favor of new staples.
Today I want to share with you some essential Fall wardrobe pieces that I feel every woman should have in her closet. As I was browsing through my closet yesterday I realized that I have some basic pieces that mix and match around a lot with other pieces to create a completely different look.
To me a wardrobe essential is sort of like a blank canvas in which more outfits can be built off of. Without these essentials you will probably feel like something is missing from your closet. Essentials can be worn on several different occasions, without sacrificing style. They can also help multiply your current outfits. With these basic 6 wardrobe essentials you should be able to create at least 40 different outfits!
THE TRENCH
The iconic trench is reinvented with leather finishes that make it fit for the uptown and downtown woman.
THE WHITE SHIRT
The intricate embroidery on this white lightweight woven blouse sets it apart from the staid classic.
THE BALLET FLAT
Refresh your shoe collection with on-trend seasonal shades, like this red velvet suede option.
THE LAYERING PIECE
Especially if you live in colder climates, investing in a good cashmere sweater is a must. In gorgeous gray, white and tan, this color-block cardigan is a refreshing alternative to a basic solid.
THE LEATHER JACKET
You might never need to buy a new leather jacket again—THIS will have any other standard black motorcycle number beat. Here are a few more of my favorite leather jackets that just hit the stores.
THE TOTE
The delicate rose gold hardware of this Sophie Hulme tote adds a new level of chic to this office staple.
