6 Versatile Must-Have Fall Staples
After a long, hot summer I’m ready to trade in breezy sundresses and sandals for light layers and chunky sweaters! There’s no shortage of fabulous fall trends to look forward to, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the heart of any closet… the basics! There are numerous terms for this… closet essentials, closet staples, or even a capsule wardrobe. At their core, these are the foundational items in your wardrobe that can be styled a multitude of ways. These basic pieces can start or finish an outfit… as long as you’ve got the basics down, adding a fall touch is easy. I mean, what’s a trendy shoe without the correct essentials to pair it with?! I try to refresh and restock my basics at the beginning of each season as needed, so I thought I’d share a few basic fall pieces that should be in every closet! Pssst… spice up these basics with my favorite fall trends!

Button-Down Shirt
You can never go wrong with a button-down shirt, especially when it’s as unique and chic as this style. A button-down shirt will seriously never go out of style, I truly believe every closet should have at least one. For an elegant fall flair, I’ve paired it with a fabulous silk skirt (another timeless fall staple), that can be worn with trousers, jeans, you name it! I’m about to add this entire look to my cart!
Straight Leg Jeans
Trends come and go, but denim will always be in style. While there are great trending denim styles, a classic straight-leg jean is a timeless closet staple. This everyday denim is extremely versatile and deserves a spot in every closet. I love the below everyday look, but you could easily elevate these jeans!

Blazers
If you know me, you know I absolutely LOVE a blazer! The style, color, and pattern options are truly endless… Banana Republic Factory and Veronica Beard have so many great options. Whether you’re styling your blazer for a day in the office or throwing it over your favorite dress, these timeless jackets add a chic and sophisticated flair to any outfit!
Cardigans
It’s no secret that light layers are a hallmark of fall fashion. Cardigans have been an unwavering fall staple for as long as I can remember. Lightweight, easily layered, and can be styled a multitude of ways. Dress it up with a turtleneck, trouser, and these shoes, or down with jeans and a sneaker!
Sweaters
There’s a reason people call it “sweater weather”! Sweaters are seriously the perfect base for any outfit. While I love a textured and patterned sweater, every closet should have a basic sweater! They’re such an easy piece to throw on with jeans or leggings or dress up as seen below!
An Everyday Dress
The beauty in a basic everyday dress is their versatility. I thought I’d show off the versatility by styling this dress two different ways. Drape a sweater or sweatshirt over your shoulders for an effortlessly chic look, or pair with a denim jacket for a look that exudes autumnal style! Pssst… I have these flats and will be wearing them all season!
