Now, before you get all excited by the loads of new fall and winter trends you can stock up on now, it's time we go back to the basics to evaluate, well, your basics. A well-rounded seasonal wardrobe is impossible without a good foundation of everyday staples, and today, we're bringing you eight styles you'll definitely need for fall and winter. To make things a bit more interesting, we shopped them each out for under $100.
Ahead, get ready for your fair share of bargain shopping chock-full of cheap fall clothing basics featuring everything from wool coats to black jeans and back again. Trends are great and all, but as we said before, glitzy new pieces won't do anything for you if you don't have the building blocks of a classic wardrobe to pair them with.
Black Jeans
Perfect to wear with all your fall ankle boots.
You can never go wrong with a simple pair of skinny jeans.
That contrast stitching will get you lots of compliments.
Turtlenecks
You'll want this one in every color offered.
Stock up on all the basic hues before buying the crazier colors.
Ankle Boots
This is a major shoe trend for fall 2019 but will also come in handy come the snowy winter months.
Wool Coats
Slip this on over any look for an instant touch of warmth and polish.
Chocolate brown just might be our new favorite color this season.
Red might not seem like a color any of your "basic" items should come in, but a red coat goes with much more than you'd expect.
Croc-Embossed Bags
The easiest way to elevate your look in seconds flat is with a croc-embossed bag.
Kind of a tote, kind of a mini bag, but definitely chic.
Midi Skirts
Pair this skirt with a tee as shown above or dress it up with a silk tank and stilettos for a more upscale outfit.
Tailored Trousers
Do yourself a favor and snatch these up before they completely sell out.
We're not biased or anything, but Who What Wear makes pretty good trousers if we do say so ourselves.
Knit Dresses
It comes in gray, and yes, you need both.
That slit though…
