In times when it’s hard to make a concrete prediction about the next day, let alone the next month, it’s best if your next round of purchases for the season at hand won’t be in vain whether life chooses to take us out or keep us in. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re immune to the charms of an F/W 21 shoe, handbag, or suiting trend, but it’s definitely something to consider when planning at least a portion of your fall-and-winter wardrobe. Sticking to cool but comfortable pieces that you’d use as much to lounge in as you would to hit the streets in is an easy way to ensure just this.
On that note, below you’ll find the fall basics you’ll not only love but that will tick both of the aforementioned boxes—and then some. From cozy cardigans to soft sweaterdresses, these are the pieces you simply can’t go wrong buying. To get started shopping, just keep scrolling.
