Are you as excited as I am for the cooler weather and the chance to break out some autumnal outfits? As a busy mom, I know that finding the time to shop and put together a stylish wardrobe can be challenging. That’s why I absolutely love building a capsule wardrobe for every season. It allows me to mix and match my favorite pieces and always have something on hand that works for any occasion.

Today, I want to share my top 10 must-have items for your fall capsule wardrobe. Trust me, with these staples, you’ll be looking fabulous and feeling confident all season long. So, let’s dive in and get started on our fall fashion journey together!

Top 10 Fall Capsule Wardrobe Essentials

As we approach fall, I love putting together a capsule wardrobe that not only reflects my personal style but also works for different occasions. When it comes to fall colors, think warm earthy tones like rust, mustard, and olive green. These hues can easily be mixed and matched to create endless outfit options.

The best part about fall fashion is that you can transition seamlessly from day to night with the right accessories and footwear. Take one of my favorite fall shoe options, for example. The ballet flat is comfortable yet stylish, and versatile enough to wear for nearly any occasion. These fall wardrobe pieces work the same way. So, whether you’re running errands or going out for date night, a well-curated fall capsule wardrobe can simplify your life and make you feel confident in every situation.

Here are some cozy fall capsule wardrobe additions:

Chunky sweater or oversized cocoon sweater

A good chunky sweater can be so versatile for fall. From cozy cable knits to trendy turtlenecks, Jenni Kane offers a wide selection of styles to suit any wardrobe. You can find various lengths and materials for fall and winter, but in terms of building a capsule wardrobe, I find it easier to stick with neutral colors.

I tend to go for the oversized look with my sweaters. This way they’re really comfortable and still super easy to pair with different items! I love my Jenni Kayne sweaters. They are very high-quality pieces. I have had my Jenni Kane sweaters for years and they still look as good as new. With their attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship, you can trust that your Jenni Kane sweater will withstand the test of time and keep you warm season after season.

Polished Cashmere Sweater

Chunky sweaters are wonderful but there’s nothing more classic than a fitted cashmere sweater. They are classy, can be dressed up or down, and will last you many years. A polished cashmere sweater feels like ultimate luxury. There’s just something so indulgent about snuggling up with the softest cashmere against your skin. It’s like a hug from heaven!

And best of all, cashmere sweaters are not only timeless, but they are also incredibly versatile. Whether you’re a busy mom on the go or heading out for a night on the town, a fitted cashmere sweater is the perfect companion. Donning one, whether in classic black, elegant ivory, or vivacious red, is a chic way to effortlessly elevate any outfit, and with proper care, it will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.

Striped boyfriend sweater

Stripes have always had a special place in my heart, and they’ve made a bold comeback. I can’t resist the allure of a cozy striped boyfriend sweater for those chilly autumn days. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and style, hugging you in all the right places while adding a touch of effortless cool to your outfit. Whether you’re running errands or meeting up with friends, this versatile sweater can be paired with jeans, leggings, or even a cute skirt for a trendy and relaxed look. So go ahead, embrace the revival of stripes and cozy up in a striped boyfriend sweater – it’s time to rock that effortlessly chic vibe, mama!

Trench Coat and COS trench coat

I wear my trench coat with everything during the fall. It’s such a classic style that is effortless and chic at the same time. These are perfect to throw on when it’s raining or cold, but not quite cold enough to warrant a heavy coat.

Trench coats have become my ultimate fall fashion essential. They’re super versatile and coordinate seamlessly with any outfit color palette. I love how I can easily layer it over a cozy sweater and jeans for a casual day out, or dress it up with a skirt and heels or heeled boots for a more polished look. Rain or shine, the trench coat offers that perfect balance of functionality and style, keeping me dry without bogging me down with unnecessary weight.

Faux Leather Blazer

The leather blazer is like an updated and polished version of a leather jacket. Because of its versatility and its ability to keep you surprisingly warm, my leather blazer has become a must-have fall wardrobe staple.

Leather blazers are perfect for moms on the go. Whether I’m running errands, attending meetings, or enjoying a night out, I can elevate my outfit with my faux leather blazer and instantly feel sophisticated and stylish.

Blazer

Next up, the classic blazer. Blazers are a year-round staple for me, but in the fall they’re one of my go-to jackets when I need a dressier top layer that isn’t too heavy or warm.

As a busy mom, I have come to cherish the versatility of blazers. They’re not just for the office anymore, ladies! One of my favorite ways to wear a blazer in the fall is over a classic white tee (short sleeves when it’s warmer and a long-sleeve tee on colder days) styled with a pair of jeans.

The key to looking chic in a blazer anytime of year is finding the right fit. There are tons of styles to choose from and, much like other types of clothing, not all of them fit true to size. I recommend trying on a few different types to see what works best for you.

Leather Pants

A tailored pair of leather pants is so cute and fun for fall. They’re perfect for spicing up an outfit, particularly one that would otherwise include black jeans.

I remember the first time I slipped into a pair of tailored leather pants. I instantly felt like a fashion-forward rockstar, ready to conquer the world. Isn’t it amazing how much of an impact one simple swap can have on your whole outfit?

Classic Agolde Jeans or Levis Ribcage cropped

One good pair of jeans can carry you through the fall and winter seasons. I opt for a mid-wash, straight-leg fit! As a shorter girl myself, I’ve fallen head over heels for the Levis Ribcage cropped jeans. Not only do they offer an amazing fit and length, but they also give me the confidence to tackle any mom-life adventure that comes my way.

Trust me, once you find that perfect pair of jeans, it’s like discovering a fashion hidden gem that will carry you through the seasons with style and comfort.

To t e Bag

This is my favorite everyday tote + mom bag! I love that it has black and brown elements (like the boots listed above) so it goes with everything. And let’s not forget the ample storage space and thoughtful pockets of this everyday tote + mom bag, making it a practical yet stylish companion that keeps all of my essentials organized and easily accessible on the go. Plus it’s waterproof, which is perfect if you live in an area with rain or snow!

Sweat set

Loungewear has become my #momlife uniform, and I have to say, sweat sets are my ultimate fall go-to. Any one of my friends and family members will tell you, I live in black sweat sets. Obviously they’re great for feeling cozy and comfortable at home, but a good sweat set also works great as a base layer in the fall. With a few simple accessories, a jacket (I’m a huge fan of denim jackets), and cute sneakers, you can completely transform a sweat set into stylish streetwear.
